Probably the most amazing week ever...EVER!

So, I had a job interview today at eFunds, where my dad and uncle both work, for an entry-level position in a different area from where my parents work. The interviewer was very serious about the position being entry level and would I be happy doing it, etc. etc. and making sure that I understood that the position was entry level and that I would have to be there a year before I could try to move up in the company to a new position. Which, I understood all that, and my biggest thing was this:

I'm currently stuck in an entry-level position with no hope of advancing or growing and I have to drive 30 minutes on a good day to get there and 30 minutes home. So, that being sad, the job that I did prior to that was another entry-level position where I was getting paid less, having to drive close to 1 hour each way and since I knew that we were leaving, there was no hope of growing anymore. Plus, that year, I was so fucked up and depressed that I could barely keep my head on straight.

I didn't say all of this, of course, but I was thinking it. I did say the first part, which I think won the manager over. The manager and my direct manager were both really nice ladies. I didn't feel that confident about the interview when I left and I was super concerned when I got to work and found out that they had hired a replacement for me and she was starting March 28th.

However, while I was driving home from feeding my parents cats, I got a call from the recruiter and I HAVE A NEW JOB!!!!!!

I make more money, get better benefits, more time off, and will have to drive less and just...gosh! Everything is better. Way better. I'm super excited.

To top the day off, Jake FINALLY got a raise at work, so it's been a good week for two people who, at this point, are extremely motivated by money.

I have to take a drug test and get a background check and all that crap, but it's all good! I'm just very happy. Things are looking up for us. Now, we just need to hear back about that house. Then, everything will be amazing. :)

Anyway, I'm off to print out some stuff for the new job. Hope that Band tour and everything are a-ok. :) Later!
