Aug. 12th, 2004 06:57 pmI've been offered a job!
As any and all who have read my LJ over the last several months will recognize, I have not been happy at my job for quite some time. I've been interviewing at several places lately. I had a very good prospect of a job at the beach, but things have lingered and while they're more than willing to offer me a job in their Tampa office, they are a bit more hesitant to offer one in Destin since the work in that office is a bit outside my field of experience (though not of interest).
So, while on hold on that one, I've been interviewing other places. I interviewed at a local firm yesterday and they just offered me the job tonight. The salary isn't quite as high as I had wished, but it's still a very nice raise over what I have now. And they have a nice work schedule of giving every other Friday off.
Anyway, it's looking like I'll be turning in my resignation tomorrow (and the ONLY regret that I have is that I have several friends in the office. Screw the management. ) With my firm being the way they have been, it's quite likely that they won't want me to work out my notice (not that I would mind NOT working it. In fact, just tell me to go. I'd love it. Actually, the worse scenario is that I would have to work the resignation).
Anyway, while I'll contact the Destin firm in the morning, unless they counter offer I'm taking this job in B'ham and saying good riddance to the work hell I'm in now. (And now I have to figure out how to write a letter of resignation).
So, good news. I've escaped!

Childhood Favourites
With emphasis on my earlier childhood...say up to sixth grade
Movie: How early? Early, early, I was your typical Disney girl with a love for "The Aristocats" and "Cinderella." Slightly older and I'm a "Raiders of the Lost Arc" gal.
Toy(s): "Newborn" baby doll, Disco Barbie, Spirograph, and LiteBrite.
Birthday party (yours or one you attended): I don't remember anything particular about the ones in my early childhood. I think I had one that was at a roller rink once. Most memorable was my 16th and it was a surprise party.
Clothing: I have a picture of myself as a kid in purple hip huggers. And I remember throwing a tantrum in Sears at a very young age because I wanted a Heidi dress.
Song: Disney commanded my life as a tot. I guess I loved the jazzy rendition of "Everybody wants to be a cat, because a cat's the only cat who knows where it's at. Everybody wants to join the feline scene. . ." And my sister (12 years my senior) would alway be playing The Who's "Tommy" at bed time so I knew the entire rock opera from a very young age.
Book: Kipling's "Just So Stories" with "The Elephant's Child" and "The Cat who Walked By Himself" as my favorites. The other (which I have in storage somewhere) was a book I can't name but it was an illustrated short stories with a bunch of characters on a quest to kill a dragon. When I started reading myself I was a "Trixie Belden Mysteries" fanatic (I collected the enter set of something like 36 novels. . .and they're still in the attic somewhere).
TV Show: I loved Carol Burnette's show. I remember being allowed to stay up late on Saturday's in order to watch the show. I also liked Bob Newhart and M*A*S*H* as a little kid. Go figure. You wouldn't think that would appeal to the tot set.
Thing to do after school: Latchkey kid so "Gilligan's Island", "Star Trek," "Bewitched," "I Dream of Jeannie," and "The Brady Bunch" . . .hmm... no wonder I was grew up into a sci-fi/fantasy nut. :)
