June 06 THE JobI went on the interview previously mentioned in my May blog. Interestingly enough, the day I started was also the day that they decided NOT to tell the older gentleman that had the stroke they were replacing him with me. Then they told me he had his job as long as he wanted and he was going to mentor me.Then suddenly, they wanted me to work 3 Saturdays a month. Long story short; it didn't work out. SO we were really bummed about that and I did some hard praying b/c money was getting mucho tighto. I'm talking I have eaten ramen noodles every day for lunch for the past 3 weeks.
AND THEN...
This Tuesday I got a call from a lady at a TV station here in town. She was responding to the resume I sent (on nice paper and everything) the week before. She said they were just making their decision when my resume came across her desk-and I really fit what they were looking for and could I come in and visit with them. Long story short; they offered me the job today. The position is Director of one of the departments. Well, my team will be responsible and I will be helping them reach their goals so I can exceed budget expectations. I will be working on some major accounts to try to land a couple of big ones for them this year and of course training and I am sure a myriad of other things. I report to the President of the station. They offered me a 3 year contract w/ a 3% yearly increase in pay for cost of living-pension they pay in full-401K w/ 40% match-Christmas bonus of a weeks' pay-Corporate membership to a Gym right by where I will work and to top it all off; a generous compensation package w/ an awesome bonus structure that is more than attainable. We can pay the bills and have a little leftover...(or a lot depending on how many times I can exceed the budget projections)!!!! I work 8:30-5:30, no weekends and 2 weeks vacation after the first year. Anyway, I wanted to share, it's the job I have been trying to land for a few years now and I feeling so blessed right now.
SO-I start on Monday and I AM SO EXCITED! YAY! D-DayToday, our nation and our allied nations from WWII remember our fallen soldiers from D-Day; Normandy France 1944.
Over 10,000 men died on that single day.
Many, many families suffered great loss; including my Hubby's father. He was the single surviving son losing both older brothers on the beaches of Normandy.
War is an extreme answer and should be the last resort. I often wonder if our leaders today have learned from history's lessons.
