The next adventure...
May. 14th, 2004 11:42 pmI got a new job today!
I had an interview yesterday with Dan, the owner of Green Earth Organics, a local organic food home delivery company. I thought at the time that he would have hired me on the spot if it weren't for the two weeks notice I'd have to give (he wanted someone to start Monday).
Today, he called me and said that the woman leaving the position had agreed to stay for a couple of extra weeks so I could give my two weeks of notice and still get training!
Not only did he want me badly enough to ask her to move her schedule around to accommodate mine, but she likes him enough to do so! I think this says great things about how my new job will go.
The nitty-gritty: I will be a customer service/reception/administration person. It is basically me and Dan in the cubby of an office, and the packers and delivery people just outside the door in the warehouse.
I'm taking a little pay cut, but it'll be so worth it not to hate my job anymore.
So, the only people at Omega who know right now are Shannon, of course, and Celeste. I talked to her immediately after talking to Dan, since I thought I owed her the most.
It was hard to tell her, especially given the firing of DumAss on Monday, but she was just fabulous about it. She said she is happy for me, but sad for her. She's sorry it didn't work out, and she still thinks I'm great, but she understands why I don't want to stay. She has offered to be a reference for me if I ever need one in the future.
So, on Monday I give my notice to Robert and then I start telling the other employees. It is going to be hardest to tell my team, as they are all great people that I really like working with (though I don't always enjoy having to supervise them). I just hope I don't cry.
The idea of giving notice and telling everyone is terrifying. The amount of things I want to have done before leaving is anxiety-provoking. But I am so excited about this new job!
Everyone who knows says I look happier and less stressed already. It is like a weight's been lifted off of my shoulders.
