Great news...

Well I got the word about the job and I GOT IT!!! I'm so excited you have no idea. I didn't get to talk to the HR lady who left a message and told me that I got the offer. I have to wait until tomorrow to talk to her and find out about the pay and when I start. I am hoping I won't start until either the week of July 11th or the 18th. I will be on vacation the 2nd to the 6th so this has came at a good time. I think I will put my two weeks in next Monday so my last day will be the 24th and I can have the last week in June to do what I want without worrying about work. I'm just glad after my vacation I won't have to go back to this job because I'm sure I would come back to a mess being gone for a week. I'm just glad to get away from that place. I can officially say that I am retiring from my department after 6 1/2 years and now I get to do a job where it will be the start of my future career. I'm so glad I won't have to work weekends anymore. It's just a happy time for me. I also got a call about a job interview for a front office job that sounded like a good opportunity but after that message was the message about getting this job so looks like I don't have to call back to schedule that interview. The crazy thing is I had just applied to this job two weeks ago today. So in two weeks, I applied, scheduled an interview, had my interview and two days later I was offered the job. That has never happened to me before. I have had 4 calls for an interview in the past month that has never happened to me before either. I hope this is the beginning of good things to come for me. I think once I start my new job my focus will be on figuring out where me and my kids are going to be living once the lease to this apartment is up. I am ready to get my own place finally and hopefully I will be able to do it. I paid off all but one of the collections I had on my credit report so I hope my credit score will eventually start going up I just don't know how long that will take. I just don't know where I am going to go. Am I going to rent a house, buy a house or just find an apartment to go to? I wish I knew what I am going to do but I will start to figure it out next month and have it figured out before we have to start getting ready to move. I hope I will be able to make a little more than what I am making for my new job then I can figure out what my budget is if I have to rent. If I can buy a house, I would like to try and get a foreclosure. I see that there are some decent houses that are being sold for cheap. I would like to find something that is in decent shape and fix it up as I go. I honestly would not want to go to an apartment because I would like for my kids to have a yard to play in and somewhere they can ride bikes. All I can do is hope and pray for the best and that everything works out the way I want it.

I think I have good news...

First, I want to start out by saying that today is Prince's birthday. I'm mentioning it because I'm watching Purple Rain right now on VH1 which isn't really a big deal because they are always playing this movie between VH1 and VH1 Classic but after Purple Rain they are going to play Graffiti Bridge and I am excited about it. I like watching that movie. One of the movie channels played it a couple times and they would play it late but I haven't seen it in probably about a year now and I been waiting forever for it to play again. It just sucks that Prince had to die for the movie to get played. They are playing it late at 11:30 so I'm trying to stay up and watch it, The next time it's coming on is tomorrow at 4:30 and I won't be here to see it so I'm trying to stay up and watch it tonight and hopefully VH1 will keep playing it since they usually play the same movies over anyway.

Now for the good news I think I have. I think I may have got a job!!! I'm so excited. I had a job interview today at a place across the street from my job so I got my work done for the day and headed over there. The job is a HIM Clerk position and it's a great opportunity since that is what I am going to school for. So it will definitely help me get my foot in the door in the future. I had my interview and then I got to meet the lady that I would be working with. I also got to shadow her for about a half an hour just to see what she does and its totally a job I want to do. The lady I would be working with is an older lady which is cool she seems really nice plus she reminds me of another lady I worked with at my last job. After I finished with her, the lady I interviewed with showed me around and introduced me to everyone there so it was pretty cool and everyone seems really nice. It seemed like the lady I interviewed with pretty much said I had the job because before I left she said HR should be contacting me soon and she didn't say anything about having anyone else to interview first before she made a decision. So I think it is my job. Now I am just waiting to hear from HR. I hope to hear from them by no later than next Wednesday and I can put my two weeks in by the 20th. I want to put in to take some days off so during my last week which I hope is the end of this month I can take PTO and only work two days of my last week. From what I know, we can wear business casual, no jeans, it is Monday-Friday no weekends or holidays which is what I have been wanting and I am pretty much keeping the same time. The only thing I don't know about is the pay. I assume that I will find out about it once I hear from HR and I hope I'll make a little more money than what I am now maybe at least 2 or 3 dollars more. All I know is that I will be the 5th person leaving my department this month. One guy is suppose be leaving this Friday, another is leaving on the 15th, and another guy said he was getting ready to put his two weeks in to leave by the end of this month and another guy is planning on leaving by August. So it is a lot of us leaving at one time which is going to be weird but hopefully they will be prepared. I'm just glad to be getting away from there and that work. We'll see what happens soon...

Hoping for good news...

Well things are looking good so far. I'm not doing so good on my diet. I am taking the pills everyday which is 6 sets of 5 pills. So that is 30 pills a day. I weighed myself yesterday and I have lost 6 pounds in 4 days which is awesome considering I haven't been following the diet. I am suppose to be only eating fruits and raw vegetables. That lasted a day and a half and I couldn't do it anymore. I went back to eating my regular foods but I am still eating fruits and at work I am still making my salads and all I drink is water so I am still doing good on that. So I will see how much weight I will lose once the cleanse is officially over. I still have 15 more days to go.

I think I might be close to getting another job. I have already had two interviews so far, one last Thursday and one the Thursday before last and I have another interview this coming Tuesday. So I hope that means one of these jobs will hire me and I can put my two weeks notice in. I am just ready to get a job that is related to the career field I plan on going into after I graduate. Also, I am ready to get out of the job I am doing now. I just hope I can get a job with a little more pay than what I am getting now and I will be working Monday-Friday and no weekends. It seems like everyone in my department is leaving so far, two more people are getting ready to leave. One guy put his two weeks in last week and it sounds like he was offered a great job. Another guy is leaving in August so I hope I am the next one to leave. We'll see if any of these jobs gives me an offer. My deadline to have another job is the end of July but I might be lucky enough to have one before this month is over and that would be amazing considering my last job took years for me to get out of. It would be so nice to not have to go through that again.
