Today was a very odd day at the new job.  As I posted earlier the Executive director that I interviewed with died unexpectedly, and today was his memorial service at the church and then they had a gathering at work.   So no one was really in the best frame of mind and I really didn't do anything.  They are waiting until I can have an informal meet ( Read more... )

I went and paid the final $250 pet deposit on the new apartment this morning.  I am excited, yet at the same time a little sad.  I want a new start, but feel as if I have let some people down as well.  I guess every new beginning is just an ending!

There is a part of me deep down inside who is terrified of all that is happening right now.  It's the part of me who is questioning.  Who asks, "are we doing the right thing?"  "Are we going to be ok?"

I am moving into the apartment on September 27.  Well really that weekend.  I am going to the new job today to do new hire paperwork and speak with the scheduler and get some days scheduled there.  My current job was very understanding and has agreed to letting me stay on as needed.  I doubt I will be there much if at all but it is nice to know I ( Read more... )

So I got a phone call today from job Number 1 telling me that the executive director would be out of town until next week and that they wanted me to meet with the activities director, Tammy.  Unfortunately I cannot meet with her till Monday morning. They said they are excited and anxious to get these meetings over with and get me "on board"  So I ( Read more... )

Update on my life!  I have now had both job interviews and I am fairly confident that I have both jobs.  The one I don't really want is a sure thing and the one I really do want is 99% a sure thing as well.  What happened at the first one is that I interviewed on a holiday (Labor day) and the executive director was not there to meet and interview ( Read more... )

I got a phone call today for an interview for a position I really want.  It is in assisted living at one of the premire facilities on the county.  All private pay or insurance, so no medicare medicaid BS to deal with.  These people are paying primo $$ to be there.  I really hope the interview goes well and I get a decent offer.  I am not sure how ( Read more... )
