UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE

May 23, 2010

I gots a job bitches!

After enduring an excruciating hour telephone interview that included all crazy get in your head questions, 4 hour technical in-person interview with 5 different people, application process which had to include 3 personal references, an online reference questionnaire to be completed in 48 hours by 3 past coworkers and 2 past supervisors, credit check, background check, and education check.

I received the telephone call Friday and had tears in my eyes. I actually missed the call and returned the call.  In true K fashion I was afraid, I thought it would be another rejection to file with the others and put another dent in my dwindling self-esteem, but NOPE.

Instead, it was a telephone call with an offer of an amount that was even more than I had been making at my last REAL* position and I am not talking this nightmare, 160 hours of PTO (Paid Time Off), 7 holidays plus 2 additional floating holidays, medical, dental, and vision effective START DATE which happens to be June 9th, a senior staff position, and a bunch of other little perks that make me glow.

When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”
