A New Job

Well, about 2 weeks ago, some stuff went down at my job that I used to have. I say "used to have" because today was my last day. No need to bore you with the details, so I won't even go there.

Within about 20 minutes of the drama happening at old job, new job came up. New job came about due to one of my wonderful cousins and his networking capabilities! In other words....HE ROCKS!!!

New Job is with a local construction company and I will be the office woman. New Job was willing to hire me even though I have no accounting/bookkeeping experience, but do have a boat load of office experience. I think it also helped that I came very highly recommended!! I start New Job on this coming Monday. Even though I'm very excited about this awesome opportunity that I'm getting with New Job, I am very nervous as I will be doing things I haven't done before.

In the end, I know it will be a great move for me and a job that I know I'll be able to do and will excel at. I will get the opportunity to multi-task (something I haven't had to worry about with Old Job), run the office, get the accounting experience to go with my accounting education, work normal hours (no more getting up at 4:15am), and I get my weekends off again!

Wish me luck!!!
