Mmmkay . . .

Y’all know I work(ed!) for one of the world’s craziest bosses. I have been praying for – and applying for – jobs since my 90 day probationary period was over – two years ago. Interviews, no offers – for two years. “Thanks for your interest, but . . . “

My pastor has been preaching on faith something serious lately AND telling us to live our lives with joy.

When I came back to work after the holidays, I typed up my letter of resignation – filled in all the details with the exception of the date. I started compiling a “how to” manual for whoever gets this position next. I started acting like I had a new job even though I didn’t have a prospect.

Lady called me, asked me to apply for a job. That was last week. Went back for a second interview with the department head yesterday. Got the offer today. Immediately said yes! And then realized I didn’t even know how much the job pays. More than my current one, thank you God. Not enough to push us into a new tax bracket, but a raise is a raise, and I got one!

So . . . I will be the Education Administrator – working with residents and interns, keeping them on track – in the Surgery Department. They don’t have a problem with my going to school, are willing to work with me on flex time, will sign off on educational leave AND they like their jobs.

I am blessed.

You are INDEED blessed! GO GIRL!

What is bi-polar gonna do without you? You know that this means we must celebrate!!! Your daughter must have been feeling your good news this morning because she had about 6 conversations with me in about 5 minutes…well….that’s not abnormal. She was on cloud 9, all twirling and twisting.

Hey, on your way out, pass by the supply room and see if you can get some good blue pens for me. And tell your old boss, Frankie style: MAN-OUT….HOLLA!!!!!

Way to go! Congratulations on your new job.

Congrats! Been following the saga, so I know you must be thrilled.

@ CreoleinDC – Thank you! I am both blessed and excited beyond belief.

@Pserendipity – I don’t care what she does! She gave me the old twisty face when she realized I was resigning. I just stood there and grinned like an idjit I’m about to say, 6 in 5 is pretty typical for my girl! Don’t know about the pens, but if anyone needs an asthma inhaler or two – holler at me!

@ Amista – Thank you. Thrilled pretty much sums it up!
