yes, Virginia, there is a light at the end of the tunnel: new job

[slowSSer]

who's Virginia and why am I talking to her? anyhoo....

ok, so I just did the strangest thing ever- i gave my last-day notice via email. I mean, I've heard of people getting dumped/divorced via texting, but saying "i'm outta here!" by email is just plain odd.

reason: I'm in Wyoming, the boss is in Denver, and I got the phone call while i was in the air.

so, yes, finally. new job. so much more up my alley than this current POS. no micro-managing boss. flexible hours so that I can still keep coaching the swim team. cheaper/better health care due to the size of the company.

oh ya- RAISE!!!!!

thanks for all the support when I was down- I know that my "this job sucks" posts may have brought some down, but i also know that they helped others with thoughts of "my life's not too bad, now is it?"

so, thanks STR! I'll likely be posting less but loving the job more.

Holy crap its about time.

Congrats. You're giving the rest of us schmos hope for the future.

I guess dinner is on you next ride?

I just got a new job too. The pay isn't nearly as good, and I don't have benifits anymore. But I LOVE it!!! I'm always glad to hear people are doing well. Good luck with it. Hope it works out well for you. See you on the trail. . . . . .

YEa dude I just got my new job as well I started two days ago. Its more money more perks, bonuses, but more traveling. Overall so far I am very happy with the job . Although I do have to travel to Compton from Costa Mesa. The hardest thing for me was going back to work after my 1 1/2 week vacation.

It wasn't that long before you got blessed!

I just changed jobs last Sept and love it. My whole life has changed, better money, benefits, less commute (1 mile) and friendlier people.

The grass is greener... either that or I did not know I was in h*ll.

Congrats on a new beginning
