So, today was my first day at the new job. I think it’s going to be great. (Or maybe it’s just going to be OK). (But I think it’ll be good).
Good things about new employer/new job:
1) Employer has not filed for Chapter ANYTHING. In fact, if anything they have too much work! (Supposedly, if I’d started a few weeks ago I would have been insanely busy at work).
2) Free lunch on Fridays.
3) Jeans are OK any day of the week. (So cool. I know it sounds silly, but at my old job they refused to let us wear jeans unless it was Friday).
4) Benefits are…pretty good! (Not totally the boondoggle I was hoping for, but I still think there is a savings in there)
5) Job security. One of the ladies I interviewed with told me at lunch today that she really wanted to hire me to work with her but that the HR lady overruled her. Oh well. Maybe next time! And that’s something else…I truly believe I will go places at this company.
6) Sign with my name on it. I saw my cubicle and it says “Elaine Last Name” on it. YES! 9.75 years and I never got that! Sounds dumb, but I am so excited!
On an unrelated note: I’m going to use the Mahjobiscrappis category for this post, but only because I haven’t made a category for “Mahjobbis::crossingfingers::”.
OMG! You didn’t tell me about the name plaque! Serious omission of major detail! That in addition to the title? I bet you are getting business cards too, I am SOOOOO jealous! LOL! Not that that I’m suddenly going superficial on you; but it is way cool and I am so happy for you!(And a wee bit proud too). I can’t wait for you to give me a freshly printed business card! I am going to wave that title under so many noses! Free food on Fridays?!Seriously? And there’s no gimmick? And I am still drooling about the “jeans ok any day” thing! Seriously when your Ex employer and my current employer goes toes up – I may have to see if they have a cubicle for me in the “NEWJOB” world not too far from Cheesecake City! But for now, I am still rocking the disability! (As best I can – you’ll see some serious rocking when I am closer to healed). LOL! Keep me posted – seriously I will annoy the crap out of you if you don’t. You know how practiced I am in that area…..Love ya!
