I'm just amazed at how things have changed in my life in the last year professionally, and how happy I am. I honestly never believed I could feel as excited about life and work as I do right now. Even my Father, who practically invented the word "pessimist" has told me that I have made all the right decisions.
I started my new job 3 months ago, and I truly have never loved a job as much as I do this one. I wake up *looking forward* to going to work. My co-workers and my boss are amazing, and yesterday my boss told me that she wants to see me move up in the company, and is going to mentor me so that I can. She's been showing me different things that have made it so that I can pretty much cover any position in our store, rotating me through different shifts, with the exception of opening/closing duties (which I start shadowing her to learn about in 2 weeks,) and has told me that my co-workers have come to her to compliment me on how I have done.
I was only originally hired as temp seasonal, but after the New Year, one of the part-timers left, and my co-workers got together with my boss and told her they wanted to see me kept on, so I was given his old position and in addition, each one of my coworkers gave up some time so that I could get 26 hrs/week. I'm just in awe - I've never worked in an environment where everyone has each others back, where you don't have to constantly be looking over your shoulder to make sure you haven't been thrown under a bus. I'm only part time right now, but when I move up to the next level, I'll be full time with full benefits and even bonuses!
Its just so nice to be in such a happy place and I don't just mean where I work. My husband is amazing, and life is pretty darn good. I can't help but think back to where I was personally and professionally 2 years ago - a lot has changed
Thanks for letting me ramble - its nice to share some good news, heaven knows I went through enough BS over the last few years to get here.
