Job News

Well, I FINALLY found out about the DHR job that interviewed for a month ago. They chose someone else and I'm not as upset about it as I thought I would be. I guess I had told myself that I wouldn't get the job (to keep from getting my hopes up), so I was kind of prepared for the news. I don't feel too bad about it though, because I know the interview went really well, there were just so many people qualified for the job (they offered interviews to 49 people!). I know that God knows what is best for me and hopefully something closer will come up.

For right now, I'm loving my job at the fabrics and crafts store! We opened on Friday (I was on the cash register when we opened) and it was insane!!! We had a soft opening, which means no advertising, just word of mouth, and our grand opening is next week. Usually traffic is much higher at grand opening since they advertise about that. They said that our traffic at the soft opening was as high as a usual grand opening, which means grand opening is going to be CrAzY!!! I also found out that I got a promotion!!! The STL wanted me as Lead Cashier/Secondary Front-End Supervisor, which means I'm the Front-End Supervisor when the Primary Front-End Supervisor isn't there (which will pretty much be anytime I'm working)...I'm pretty excited about it because that means a RAISE!!! I should find out later this week how much the raise will be, so keep your fingers crossed that it will be a big, fat raise! The promotion also means that I will (probably) be full-time...so I can finally get health insurance!!! Alan gets it through his work, but we only signed up for it for him because it's outrageous for family coverage (why don't insurance offer couple's insurance?)...so that is REALLY good news since flu season and all the scares are coming up.

Speaking of flu season, I'm trying to decide if I'm going to continue my boycott on flu shots. The only times I have ever gotten the flu are the three times that I got the flu shot. They say that it's not as bad if you still get it if you had the shot, but all three times, I was MIA for a few days and still felt bad for about a week and a half later, so I'm probably going to continue my boycott...we'll see.

Well, I have to work from 3 until 10 tonight and I have lots of laundry to fold and I was planning on making a grocery trip before I go to work, so I better get off the computer and get things done!
