As I was getting ready for another day at work, my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, so I was just going to let it go to voicemail like I normally do. But, I answered it anyway. It was the manager of the American Crafts warehouse, offering me a job!!! So, I'm taking it. I'm going to be doing order-picking for their scrapbook supply customers from 7-3:30 Monday through Friday and it's going to be great.
I gave my two weeks to my boss today too. Did I mention that he is one of my good friends from high school? He and Cody have been best friends since Jr. High. He's great and has been freaking awesome while I've been working there. The truth is, I hated the type of work I was doing, not my job technically. The atmosphere was really chill, my coworkers were hilarious, and it was a steady paycheck. It's the customers I hated. And the other FedEx employees. So, I hope in my leaving, that Jason understands how much I appreciate what he's done for me.
In response to me telling my parents this great news via email, my Dad said it was like an early Christmas present. EXACTLY! Me getting this job, during this economy, is a miracle. It's not a complicated job, they pay for all the benefits (premiums and all), Istart at $10/hr, and I don't have to effing deal with customers anymore. I can't believe I'm the only qualified person around here. I'm so overwhelmed with gratitude, it's incredible.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!
I'm so happy for you and don't know how I missed this blog! You definitely deserve it and all that patience certainly paid off:-) I'm poor too (my sister paid for the movies), so when it comes to the dollar theater, I will be happy to accompany you to go and see it!
