Things have definitely turned to an upward swing in the last few days. Many of you may have gathered that I haven’t been happy with my current employment situation for quite some time. Honestly, from the day I started I felt like I had been lied to–actually, I had been–but that is a different issue.
Things have changed though. No, my job didn’t magically stop sucking. No, in fact it got worse. It became a level of suck that isn’t easy to describe–so I won’t. Instead of wishing and hoping for a miracle, I went out and looked at my options.
My situation isn’t easy. We are in a lease till July 1st, we’re expecting a baby in the next 10 weeks, and honestly, there are very few service around here, let alone those that are hiring.
As a matter of fact… There was only ONE service hiring within an acceptable driving distance from home. It is in my hometown and it has LOTS of history–not all good. Actually it is one of those services that I said I would never work for. 20 or so years ago the owner of said service made some mistakes. Like so many private services he screwed up, had to make some tough decisions and obviously made the wrong ones a few times. Still, all I had to go on was what I had heard.
Well, I decided things here were so bad that there was no way it could be worse there. I took the interview and decided to see what they had to offer. My interview was 3 hours long–and I’ve never been more excited walking out of an interview. This place feels a lot more like a family–a lot more like the kind of service I want to work for.
So… With all of that being said, I start as early as Tuesday! I take a tiny pay cut for a while, but I gain back my pride, dignity, and a little self respect.
Wish me luck… I will be back with more!
