So the biggest news of all is that I have FOUND A NEW JOB! And since I'm so lazy with writing lately and I'm tired of telling the story over and over... I'ma go ahead and copy and paste from an email in which I told a friend about said new job...
"Well I've got some news for you! Guess what?! JUST GUESS. I GOT A NNEEWWW JOOOOOOBBB!!!! AAAAAAAAA!!!! *bells n' whistles* *confetti* *confetti* I'm thrilled to the gills because a.) I finally get to get away from that crazy, snobby boss 'o mine and work in an office with mostly MEN. b.) I no longer have a 40 minute to hour long commute (try 6 minutes...home for lunch, here I come!) and c.) It's FULL TIME and the same position of office manager at a small company! Yaaay!
The company is in the environmental/architectural field in that they locate subsurface utilities, gas lines, cables, underground storage tanks. So it's technicians out on the field n' me in the office making sure all is well.
It's actually a pretty young business (7 years old) and it's growing so the owner (a nice family man in his mid 40's who grew up in the area) is moving to the next step, which was to hire a full time person to help him get there. I have all the right small business experience and I'm actually very excited to be able to use the skills I learned during my 7 year tenure at Poopie Co. Even though my boss was very irritating, I still admire parts of her and am very thankful for what I did manage to squeeze out of her. Yea...couldn't get a lot of money, but I did get knowledge n' that's important..."
That's pretty much it in a little 'ol nutshell. So I'm on my last week at the old job and working every other day while I put in a few hours at the new place until I start full time next week. I'm sure as time goes on my new boss will be annoying in his own way, but hell... What boss isn't? You have to give that to them and respect them for giving you work...until it becomes such that you have to move on for your own good. That's what I'm doing. No hard feelings, just very happy to be able to move on. FUCKINGFINALLY.
There are plenty of other things that are new but I'm not in the mood to write about it at the moment. Oh wait, one thing I should mention... I also got a new pet this past weekend. My little Rosie Tarantula died about six months ago and I really missed having a cute little guy in a ten gallon tank to feed crickets to. Well I was at the fish store replacing one of my bulbs when I gazed upon their vast reptile collection. Before I knew it, I found myself asking what they might suggest as a low maintenance critter that eats crickets and stays small. Dude pulled out a fat tailed gecko and I fell in love. I'll have to post a pic when I get a good one. He is SO ADORABLE!!!
Well, it's time to get to the store n' grab some dinner fixins. I will be back sooner than before, I promise. And I'll post a pic of my latest art project, too! WHOoOoo!
