A new job, and a new future!

THEY ACCEPTED MY SALARY MATCH!!! :)

I’m so excited and nervous about this change in my life. I’m a little scared to tell my boss, but I’m close with a few of my co-workers, and they said that I have every right to be looking for new jobs. Afterall, this is just a 12 month contract. They said I have to take care of myself, and I shouldn’t let a fantastic opportunity like this one slip away.

My new job starts July 16th. There’s no way my current boss will be able to hire and have me train someone in two weeks before I leave (especially with this being a long weekend) … and the chances of someone picking up a 4 month contract is pretty slim. So I’m going to offer to stay on as a contractor, so I can still do most of the stuff … but I will be working evenings, some weekends, and a lot from home. I don’t want to hang them out to dry, plus it means more cash in my pocket at the end of the day. It would mean working 12 hour days, or 7 days a week for a while, but it’s not for that long.

Thanks everyone for your supportive comments. They really helped me stay calm in such a stressful situation! I know this blog suffered a bit what with me only talking about the job front for about two weeks straight. In fact, my RRS feed dropped from 33 subscribers down to 27, LOL! So all of you who unsubscribed, please come back! :)
