I got the Job!!!

I interviewed last Monday for a job at Security National Automotive Corp. I didn't really think that I had done well and never in a million years would they hire me. I was expecting a letter in the mail in the next few days. Well a strange number came up on my phone this morning and low and behold it was the HR person. I was thinking oh man I can't believe they call to tell you you didn't get the job. But she offered me the position. The pay rate is the same as Ellison but they have yearly bonuses and raises and they are very close to home so I think it will be OK.

I am extremely excited and relieved to be getting back to work. It's funny that this is the only interview I went on in my job search. Joe used to say that I always get hired if they bring me in to interview. Lol

It looks like everything has worked out. Plus I got a nice month long vacation lol. Joe and I have decided that we are going to be moving when our lease is up. I love our apartment and it would be really close for me for work still but they are raising our rent a lot more than I expected. It would potentially go up 80 dollars from what we pay now and for what our apartment is that really is just way to much. So now we are trying to decide where to look for a new place. There are alot of possibilities and each has it's pros's and con's. Joe has commuted to Wilmington since we were married for work and I think it would be nice for him to have a shorter drive. At the same time I am afraid that with the DHL and UPS partnership and all of those people being laid off that Joe's job security might be something to consider also. For me the commute to Mason from Wilmington is only about 30 mins and for the amount we could save in rent it would be well worth it.
