Today is my last day at my job!!

For all of the nesties that are reading this, I am sorry. I know you gals have heard me say this like 100 times already today!!

This will be the last day that I have to work at night. No more 3-11 shifts, mo more weekend shifts, and no more holiday shifts. This is the beginning of a new era, so to speak, for me. As a nurse, I am required to work at least every other weekend and rotating holidays. My new job (that I start on Monday) is Monday-Friday, 9 to 5, and no holidays. I am so excited for this. This will be the first job that I have ever had with these hours!!

Tonight will be my last night at my current job. Everyone knows that I hate this job. I love the residents and some of the girls that I work with. But, the management sucks. The place is being managed so poorly. Everyone is quitting. Four people have put their notice in within the last 2 weeks. Two of these people are directors!! You would think this would raise a red flag to corporate but so far, it hasn't.

I hope, for the sake of the residents and the employees that are still there, that corporate wakes up and realizes what is going on here. I feel so bad for the residents. They are the ones that are suffering in the long run.

I finally got a new job!!!

After months of searching, I finally got a new job. I originally applied for a Unit Manager position with this company. The lady that interviewed me called me on Tuesday and told me she was drawn to my resume and she wanted to meet with me ASAP. We met for my first interview Wednesday morning.

She was very impressed by my background but said she wanted someone with more experience in management for the Unit Manager position. I admitted to her that I knew it was a long shot when I applied for the position because I don't have any management experience. She said to me, "I like you. I like you a lot. I like your attitude. I have the perfect position for you." She told me all about the position and then told em how much it pays (double what I make now). She then asked me if I was interested. It took all of my self control to not jump out of the chair and beg her for the job. I cal my told her I was very interested. She then told me she would let me know by Friday.

I spent all day Thursday pacing around the house waiting for the phone to ring. I was a mess!! Finally, at 2:30 the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was her. My stomach started doing flip-flops. Well, she offered me the job and I accepted. I got off the phone and starting jumping around like a complete fool!!!

I am going to be the nurse in charge of the restorative department and head of patient education. It is a Monday-Friday, 9-5, job. No weekends, no holidays!! I am sooo excited!! I have never had a Mon.-Fri. job. And the best part is, I will be making double what I make now!! That right there, will solve a lot of my problems.

New job offer...

For George, that is!! He currently delivers for a deli here in the area. He was talking to one of his 6 managers the other day about why there are so many managers and what they each do. Somehow, in this conversation, he told the manager that he is a former franchisee (owner) of a Domino's Pizza. The next thing he knows, he is being called into the office by the franchisee of this deli. The guy starts asking him all kinds of questions like why he is just driving and why did he sell his business.

Well, to make a long story short, they want him to be the catering manager. It is a Monday-Friday, 9 to 5 job. He has never had a job like that!! When he owned Domino's he had to work every weekend most of the time and some days he would have to work all day and all night!! I think it is a great opportunity for him. He told them he wants to think about it for a little bit and then he will let them know.

Hopefully, he will make a decision within the next week!!
