The Other Harf is wearing a dirty great big grin today, as after months of waiting, he was finally able to hand in his resignation.
Why? Because yours truly got herself a job*! WOO-HOO! I've been waiting almost a week to hear (after my second interview/interrogation last Wednesday) and yesterday afternoon I finally got the call.
The job is the same beancounting sort of role I did at my last job, but this time it's for a small local construction company instead of a large international publishing and media corporation - and instead of working in an office of 100 women and 10 men, I'll be working in a company of three women and 60 men, so some big differences there.
And it's a whole new role as the company is expanding so rapidly (which can only be a good thing in this grey, doomstricken era of Global Economic Downturn) and my new boss seems like a very cool lady.
I hope I'm going to like it....I think I'm going to.
It's been a fabulous summer and I'm grateful that I've been able to spend three months outdoors in gorgeous summer weather (as is our garden) - now it's time for my long-suffering husband to find a job that doesn't involve twelve hour days and working weekends, the poor love.
A thoughtful someecard that I received today from my lovely yet slightly cynical friend Edna. Bless her.
*A deal we struck - I really wanted part-time work but I wanted him to leave his job, which has been making him miserable for months now, even more, so that meant taking a full-time position instead as part-time won't support us if he's unemployed for a long period of time. Yes it is true, I am truly a wonderful wife.
Congrats! Sounds awesome!
And I'm sure that he is rightly appreciative! Congratulations Fi :o)
Congratulations, FI. Hope it's everything you want.
Congratulations! I hope you'll enjoy the new job.
