So here’s the deal. The scoop. The whatnot.
I got hired on full-time at my pharmacy, after four months of temping here, and what seemed like a lifetime of temping at other places. I had a very Jim Carrey “You like me! You really like me!” moment when the initial offer was made, and I may or may not have cried a little when it became official yesterday afternoon, after a whirlwind of emails, pee tests and background checks had made my life a living hell for two weeks.
It’s strangeĀ for me to think that I have an official job – with vacation time and PTO and, gasp! insurance. Dental and vision, even!
But, despite the happy news, I’m still under some major stress, but the sweet pay raise will hopefully help out with the money problems, too. 2008 wasn’t a bad year for Matt and I, so I guess it’s karmically fair that we were handed this shit year that has been 2009. My way of thinking is, it’s turning around. Maybe there will be a little good to come out of this year, after all.
Congrats! Hopefully Matt’s situation will turn and you guys will be sitting pretty!
