That is wonderful!  It must feel good to be getting back into a "normal" routine.   :clap;   Does this mean you get to buy new work clothes?  :rofl;

Congratulations!  I hope to find something once I'm back on track, as well.  I'm not sure if I want to try to get back into the "corporate" world or just get a fun job with no real stress?

Again, Contratulations!     :bestwishes;

Thanks everyone!  You know, for the last 15 years I have worked with special needs kids... 13 years as a sign language interpreter then the last 2 I worked with PPCD (3, 4 and 5 year old special needs kids)  I'm not sure what PPCD stands for, but we used to joke that it meant Pee, Poop, Cry, and Destroy... LOL.  Anyways, I didn't want to chance going back to work with those little ones because they were pretty dangerous... I have been bit, spit on, peed on, pooped on, thrown up on.... and so on.  Sooo... I have been kinda picky about what job I would accept.  This job seems really interesting to me.  I am one of those rare few who loves paperwork.... and this will have alot of paperwork for sure.  This is perfect for me because I will not be interacting with the public.  WSC does personal loans.  I will be taking the reports and checking them for fraud.  That is just one of the things I will be doing.  Anyways... like many of you said... I officially feel like life is getting back to normal   :yahoo;

Paris... as soon as I was offered the job I went out and bought some new clothes  :flower;

F.Y.I.   when you do the paperwork for new employee, be sure to sign up for the short term, long term disability and 20% rider when offered....I'm so glad I did when I wen t to work for AT&T.  you  had to be an employee for 6 months for it to become effective, I lasted 8 months. now I get a 50% long term disability check AND the 20% extra, so I get 70% of my paycheck till I turn 65..    that is in addition to social security disability benefits.  :bandance;

Thanks for all the support!!

Well, my first day went very quickly.  There is ALOT to learn... kinda overwhelming..... but I like it!!!  I actually worked an hour and 20 minutes overtime today :)  I told the HR lady that I have to go to a diabetes class tmr from 12:30 - 4:30 so I am trying to make those hours up.  I was going to cancel going to the class but the HR lady was okay with it and I reeealy think I need it.

They didn't offer any disability... I don't know if it will be offered later or not... if so, I for sure will be signing up!  I will get health insurance after 90 days.  They match my 401K at 50% up to 6%.  I have sick days, 1 personal day and vacation days.

How about an update Donnia? How is the job going, keeping busy I assume.
Title: Re: Hey.. I got a job!
Post by: donnia on November 30, 2008, 12:06:13 PM
I have been so dang busy!!!  You see, I have switched jobs.  I now work for my county.  Benefits are great!!!!!  I started there on 10-14-08.  I will get benefits after 6 months.   I earn 6 hours sick leave and 6 hours vacation every month.  The best part is.... after I am vested with the county (8 years) then my 15 years with the school will transfer over!
