...for Government work. Now when you say this you could be referring to me! That's right, I have gainful employment... not that I didn't before. For those of you who didn't know, I worked in a large Seattle hotel. I live in a town that is quite a bit outside of Seattle, actually you can't say my town name without affecting a strong country accent (there are actually several towns around me that this applies to). So I am going to work for a CITY and it is a much closer commute.
I am so excited to start! It couldn't come at a better time. I really needed to start a new job and move on in my career. I love the place I work, or I might say I used to love it, but there is no spot for me to move upwards. Even if there was a way for me to move forwards/upwards, I am not sure I would do it based solely on my commute. My job has changed quite a bit and I am glad that I chose this time to leave, it feels right and will give someone else an opportunity to grow.
So here's to my new job with the government of a large city and to a 15% raise and a smaller commute!
Well you have a good way of saying that - but I've always said - Close enuf for gov't work ... but that's just me. ;)
CONGRATS on the new job - I'll be glad to see that you can relax a little more and enjoy life. Not that the gov't won't work your little tail off - I mean - look at your hubby!!! :)
Just think you're paid $10 more per hour than I was when I was working for a certain Police Dept. in Fbks - oops - :)
Love you and enjoy your new job and the rather relaxing drive there,

Congrats on the new job!

Posted by: bleaus at September 4, 2007 06:41 AMApparently, your comment system doesn't like the less-than symbol. The last part of my post said (less-than 20 minutes). Let's try this... < 20 minutes.
Posted by: jeff at September 4, 2007 08:49 AMless than 20 minutes, must be nice. Even my new commute will most likely be more than that. It's 20 minutes in non-traffic though.
Thanks for all the congratulations! I will keep you up to date on how exciting the new job is!
