On the Plus Side...
Mar. 31st, 2006 09:06 pmThere were some really strange and pleasant things going on at work all day.
Well, I mean, of course, people were nice to me because it was my last day. (I don't mean it to sound like a lot of the people aren't nice to me all the time, cause there are a lot of people nice to me all the time...the regular people I work with.)
But, it was MORE than that.
All morning, I got calls from my boss down in Santa Ana. She just kept telling me how glad she was I'm coming down there next week and making suggestions on how the drive might not be so bad. She told me someone I might be able to carpool with at some point, too.
She told me they'd decided to put me on their payroll instead of keeping me on the division's that I'd been working for, so I could get my check down there without any trouble instead of them having to send it from the old division. (It gets really confusing when you can't name real names, doesn't it?)
THEN...she called to tell me that since I'm going to be on their payroll now, I'm going to be getting a bonus every month that they make their sales goal. And, she said they've NEVER missed their monthly sales goals...EVER.
It's not a big bonus. $100/month. But, still, that's $100 more per month than I have now.
So, I was pleased.
They're letting me set my own hours, as long as I work 8, since they know the drive will be a problem.
I'm going to start by trying 7:00 - 3:30. If that doesn't work, then I'll try 7:30 - 4:00. I hope my first choice works, though. It just depends on getting my youngest to school.
Hmm...there might have been more, but my brain is getting tired and telling me I must sleep.
Of course, now that Dr. Who is on, it's hard to tear myself away from the TV, but...we are taping it. I can watch it tomorrow.
Good night everybody. Sleep well!
