baronessekatI GOT A JOB!!!!!!
Offer came Thursday. I accepted on Friday. Executive Admin Assistant to the President/Owner of a small manufacturing business about 10-15 minutes from my house (not counting the required stop at Tim Hortons for coffee). Basically he description he gave me for what I'll be doing is "Pepper Potts" - just not with that analogy but that's how my brain translated it.
It's salaried and about $300 less a year than what I was making at the old place (not counting the stupid overtime they gave me). But that would be more than I'd be making had I stayed there (as they implemented a 10% pay reduction for all who they kept after the furloughs). And honestly, depending on what health insurance option I pick, I may actually break even.
I start Monday, the 23rd. The instantly get two days off for the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday and Friday.
I'm nervous as it's a "in the office" job but it's a job. I went yesterday to consignment stores to pick up office appropriate clothing since for 8 years I worked at a place that had "jeans and a decent shirt" as dress code and need actual business casual stuff. I have a couple dresses to make as well. I see myself at the sewing machine a lot for the next week so I have things to wear before I start work.
But yay! Big weight off my shoulders now.
