New Beginnings

Song of the moment: New Kids On The Block - Summertime

It's been almost two months since my last entry, and so much has happend in that time. Two weeks after I got back from Costa Rica, I got a phone call on a Saturday - it was someone from a company that found my resume online, and was wondering if I wanted to come in for an interview. The way the guy described the job... it really sounded like my dream job. I thought, ok, I really have nothing to loose by going to the interview. So we agreed to meet on Friday over lunch.

The Monday before the interview, my boss decided to make me an example out of me by sending out an email to my department, pointing out that I made a mistake. It made me look like a complete dumbass - which made me furious. I was in Detroit, so I couldn't go in and say anything to him, but it ate at me all week. I was really looking forward to the interview b/c I was so pissed I wanted out. So the day of the interview, I walked into my boss' office in the morning and told him that he had crossed the line with me and that I expected more from him as a manager. After that, we had a really good conversation, and I left his office feeling a lot better about everything. So I went to my interview that afternoon with a "I have nothing to loose" mentality. The interview went really really well - I got the sense that they were impressed with me and I left the interview with a good feeling.

Needless to say, I got the job. They called me an hour after I left the interview and offered me the job! It was extremely hard to leave my job though because I've grown so attached to the people. I still keep in touch with my ex-coworkers - I actually saw some of them last week :) My new company's test facility is just around the corner from my old office, so it makes it convienient to see them :) I miss them though.

Also on a the new beginning list - Jimmy and I became a first time uncle and aunt :D Katie and Ray had a healthy baby boy :D He's so cute. But it made me realize I'm not ready for kids yet (I don't like holding babies... hahaha). Eh... kids are more fun when they're more responsive :)
