New JOB!

It seems like I've been looking for a new job since I started my current job. It would have been a year there at the end of this month. I won't be making it.

On Friday, June 24th, I put in my two weeks notice. I found a new job! Not only is it a MUCH better paying job but it's also a job where I was finally able to take advantage of the degree I earned. Without a lot of experience, my degree helped me out a lot in being able to land this job. But perhaps the coolest thing? I got the offer on my birthday. Ha! I could have only imagined (and I did, actually) that would happen.

I'm going tomorrow to fill out all the necessary paperwork and I start July 11th. This job is going to open up a lot of opportunities for me. With the substantial bump in pay, I'm finally going to be able to get a new car. I guess I could've had a new car by now but I've always been cautious with money. I've been driving the S-10 for almost 9 years (since I started driving). I love the old truck but I'm ready for an upgrade. Also this could open up some potential career paths for me down the road. I'm just glad to be out of retail. I was afraid I would stuck for the rest of my life.

Life hasn't been half bad for me this year. :)
