Well, my job in Florida might be changing in the near future! Just got a call to schedule a phone interview. The move is technically pretty lateral (still basic level hourly), but the pay scale would be a slight bump up. With any luck, I can hope to be back in Florida permanently within a month!

Two months ago, I make cuts after peak season is over. One of the guys that I cut, instead of being let go, was given a chance to take a weekend shift. He declined. They then gave him the opportunity to keep the same shift in a different dept. He took it. Fine. Now I find out he was hired into our company from the temp service AHEAD of people that were good enough to not be cut. This place is a fucking joke.

Glad to have an interview tomorrow, but timing couldn't be worse with my current job in terms of leaving with my boss still liking me (and thus killing a good reference). We just had our big annual campaign kick-off breakfast this morning, and I'm not looking forward to the possibility of needing to give my two weeks tomorrow. I'm hoping the interview goes well, I get one of those "you have it, but your real offer won't come for a few days to a week" so I can wait until things settle back down in a few days to give my notice.

Oh well, such is life in a small office.

It took almost 2 months from my 1st interview to me being hired for my current job. I had about 2 interviews in that time. Don't get discouraged

I'm chalking it up to incompetence. I used to like this job. It's about time for me to move on. I just wish construction would pick back up so I could go back to what I like.

On a positive note, I found out that my requested vacation for the first week of March Madness/ My Birthday was denied. I either have to take it next week or after March. I'll be taking it next week. Just got my first tax check as a father. I didn't know I was capable of love like this.
