News spreads quickly so I'll speed up the process in my own words.
I {finally} have a {new} job. Yippee! After more than six months of serious searching and waiting and interviewing and turning down part-time jobs and begging for benefits and wondering if I will ever get to live with my husband again, it has finally happened. Best of all, it's right up my alley -- journalism.
Unfortunately, not everything is perfect. Hub recently learned that his job position is changing. He has been asked to make a lateral move in the company to cover a position from which someone recently quit. It isn't a terrible move to make because nothing will change except his job title and hours. But, as you might imagine, the change in working hours (and days) is the part that irritates us. Instead of working the typical Monday through Friday, he will now rotate days and his hours are yet unknown. It seems just when we finally get the chance to be together again, his job is taking our togetherness away.
But there must always be bad with good. Otherwise, we wouldn't know how good we have it. (I keep repeating this to myself lately.) In the end, I'm sure it will all work out for the best. We always keep our minds open to new adventures and this is just the beginning of a new chapter.
Back to the good news...
I'll be working as a receptionist at a local television news station. "Receptionist" is the official title, I believe, but I also will create slide shows and such for advertising sales. I am so excited to have an opportunity to be creative and work with other professionals in my desired field. I'm excited to learn. Everyone I've met so far is extremely nice and seemingly willing to help me better myself and move up in the world. Granted, broadcast journalism is fairly different than print journalism, which I studied in college, but it's all news and it's all creative and interesting and fun. I love public relations and communications. Now I only hope I can surprise myself and impress everyone. I feel good things will happen here. *fingers crossed*
That's awesome!! Congratulations Erin! I know how hard the living apart thing has been for you. I am so glad you will be working in your field too! How exciting. :)
ReplyDeleteThe hub's hours changing are a tiny setback in the spectrum of being able to live in the same house again. It will all work out, my friend. Again, so very happy for you and wishing you much happiness in your new endeavors!
Yay!!! Congratulations sweet girl!! All good things come to those who wait! :)
ReplyDeleteEven though your hubby's hours will change I am sure everyhting will be ok in no time, plus you both are blessed with jobs!
xoxo
Congratulations! You get to deal with the crazies that bother TV stations now, though I think yours has better security. You're going to have to keep me informed on how things go. I think I still remember some of the sales staff, though I mostly know the ones up here.
ReplyDeleteWoot!!! Congrats, Erin! and i'm sure the hub's job will be a good thing in the long run. crazy hours suck, tho. sorry for that & good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic news! What an exciting opportunity! And I am more than sure that you won't be a 'receptionist' for long :) xo
ReplyDeleteWell done! I hope it goes well there!
