Ok, so this post is a little back-dated, not in the date, but in the material. I didn't want to talk about this too much online, even though I haven't mentioned any last names or the company name or anything, I still didn't want to ruin something really good for someone else because I was so excited I had to post it here.
Anyways, great news last week - Amy got a good job offer!!! A really good one! A really, really, really, really good one! It's so exciting - she'll be able to work with more experienced people in our field (actually learn, instead of having to figure it out herself with the help of the regulations manual), she likes the people at the office where she interviewed, she doesn't have to deal with clients or projects like the ones we've got here, and it's a company she's wanted to work with since she got out of school. She'll even get to start pretty quickly, and on a big, interesting project they've got going. Pretty much, everything that she could be looking at as a criteria for a job change, this company is a step up - this job offer is PHENOMENAL!! I'm so happy for her! We went Thursday at lunch to fax over the acceptance form and were just giddy in the Kinko's office. Actually had to explain to the guy at the fax machine why we were so excited about a simple fax :)
We've been each other's sounding boards and support this past year, since she came down to SC, and I honestly wouldn't have made it through this past summer if I'd still be on my own. So I know how bad things got for her (and vice versa), and how great this offer really is for her. So exciting!! She's getting out of here! I'm out in March with the move, and Amy's out sooner than that (she starts at her new place on Monday). We just have to make sure things are lined up for Tom to get out too (and we're working on that), and then we're all free! Away from this horrible place! So what, if they're left with no environmental department? If they treated us better, we wouldn't all be looking to escape! We wouldn't be thinking of it AS escape, for starters!
Today she gave her notice in to our manager. She's been trying to give notice for almost a week now - first all the managers were out at a meeting on Friday, and then our direct manager has been reeeeeally sick and out of the office since Monday. Since Amy didn't want to resign over the phone or something (we likened it to breaking up via text message), she's just been waiting for our manager to stick her head in to check up on us, and today she did! Amy was really worried about it. Not that our wonderful manager would be upset, but that since our direct manager is a nice person and has her heart in the right place, that Amy'd be leaving her in the lurch. Good news though - our manager took it well! She's been in the same place as Amy's in now - hit the wall for what the current company has to offer, and just needing to move on. Was actually really excited for Amy. So much relief! Amy'll finish out the week and say goodbye to everyone on Friday. Happy endings abound!
Hehehe!! Just thinking about her getting out makes me happy again! She's free! Wheee!!!
