This, That, & The Other

Mishele, I always feel that a job interview on a Friday is good luck. So maybe with it being Good Friday and you are off this may be a sign. Luckily you only have a four day week.

Hey you..What do you say we get together when you come out here for the concert in June??

That would be cool. As long as you take some beano before we hook up LOL! The show is in Muskegeon. I hope I spelled that right.

Keep your chin up Mishelle...I too have been in the employment hel_l you are in and it gets better :) Just keep your faith and I know everyone here is cheering you on! Best of luck!

Thanks Leah. I appreciate the kind words :-)

No problem :)

I just revamped my resume and am sending it out to a few places today. I have to find a new job! I am also looking at what I need to get my bachelor's degree. I think I only need one or two classes and then I can graduate. I have to get out of this place that I am in! But right now it is a job, so I can look and apply and take my time until I find a good fit.

Good luck on your job search, Irish :-) Well, I had an interesting morning. So, I got to my job as planned. On break, I checked my cell phone messages. Well, the long term employment assignment that I wanted came through today. I called the employment agency back and they want me to start next Monday. The money is only a $1 less an hour than I was making with this other job. The commute is a lot shorter and it's only twenty minutes from home. So, I talked to my boss about it when I could. I told her I would work the rest of the week so I wouldn't leave them shorthanded but that I accepted the other job offer. She said that I didn't need to bother working the rest of the week. So, I grabbed my stuff and left. This is such a relief for me :-)

That's great! Hopfully you will like this new job . . . . . And even though it's less money think of how much you save in gas and time every day!

Mishele..I will take double Beano. Don't forget your deoderant.

Muskegon is about 30 minutes from me! :D

Goudah,

I think I will definitely like the other job better. I've worked in purchasing for years. Plus, I won't be in a cubicle all day which is a great thing for me. I will be coming out ahead without the cost of gas plus the wear and tear on my vehicle. I'll be home at a decent time every afternoon too since I'll be working first shift.

Fins,

Okay, I'll wear deodarant if you take your beano! We will definitely have to get together since I'll be so close. Hubby is going to try to get the day off so we can make a weekend out of it :-)

Wooohoooo...way to go Mishele!!!!
SO glad things worked out for you :)

Good for you.. now my turn I am also in purchasing and have been for years.. I will start my search in about a month.. I am not going to go to South Carolina with my present company.. (I have a interview for a sales job this week) but I really like the purchasing side better then the sales..
But I at least have a little time to decide..

Congrats Mishele ~ With gas prices like they are, I know you will be glad to not have to drive as far. I can't wait for our new office to be built so I won't have as far to drive. I am only about 20 miles from my job, but a lot of times it can take almost 1 hour to get to work in the mornings and it can take 30 to 45 minutes to get home. Hate the communte!

I know I'm jazzed about saving money on gas. This will be the closest I've worked to home in over eight years. The extra money I save on gas, I'm putting back for a couple of road trips this summer.
