So, I'm pretty convinced I've had the best week ever. The bonus is that it isn't even over yet!
Just this past weekend, I switched to the overnight shift at work. This was for several reasons.
The first being that my Love is switching to overnights soon at his job. I figured that as much as I don't completely love overnights, I'd be willing to do it for the fact that I'd get to spend more time with him.
Second, for my own sanity. That place can drive the most patient person up the wall in less than an hour, and I really didn't want to say that I got burnt out by a job. I don't ever want to say "I have to give up". It's just not my style.
And my third reason had a little bit to do with the management. It really SUCKS when you know that a bunch of people are mad at you because you made them stick to the rules. Go ahead and be mad, but when the legal issues start to pile up, don't say I didn't warn you.
So yeah. I ended up switching and I love it! I have lots of quiet space and although it is mainly cleaning, I really don't mind it. And the supervisor is rockin', so that's a good deal.
BUT.
Yesterday I was offered the job. This is the dream job that I applied for, while lacking a touch of confidence that I could do it. I mean, I wanted so bad to get it, but compared to many of the other applicants that I thought had applied, I was pretty convinced that they had way more experience and education than I had. I guess I thought I was pretty low on the totem pole. BUT I GOT THE JOB!
And so I felt incredibly guilty telling my awesome new supervisor that while I just got on his shift, I'm gonna duck out and leave him hanging. Suck. But being the great guy that he is, he gratefully accepted my resignation and said that he's proud of me because he's seen me work and feels that I've definitely gone into the right career field. That was a blessing to hear, and I'm grateful for all the help and guidance he's given me. He's a rockstar boss.
Whew. Good times.
