Default Long Story short

Hi,
I was MIA for a few days. Sorry about leaving you all out there!

Yesterday was the worst day I have ever experienced at my job. As much of you know I was trying to make a decison as to if I should take a new job. I really thought I wanted to try the new one, but I have reservations and I talked myself out of it.

So I went in to tell my old job that I was staying. They had made me an offer as well. This was between me and the president of the company. My current Supervisor is someone that I have worked with for over 4 years here and 10 years at another company and I thought I could trust her. I told her that I had been given a job offer and that I had spoke to the President about it and that he made me an offer to stay. Well, she went to him and told him that I had told her. He took back the offer and implied that I was lucky to have my job.

Keep in mind I had already turned down the other job! So, my husband and I prayed about it last night and this morning he asked me if I had really wanted the other job. I said Yes, and that now I really wanted it. He said to call them and see what they had to say.

I called and sent an email to the HR person. He hadn't told anyone that I had declined the offer and he said that he would still like to have me come work for them (TALK ABOUT THE POWER OF PRAYER!). I accepted immediately and I will begin my background check and drug test for them. After those results are in (and I know it will all come back ok..but hey...I'm not about to test the fates here!). Then I will give my notice. I'm not breathing a word of this to anyone that I work with or in the community!

I did well with not overeating. It really surprised me because I'm a stress eater.

I hope everyone is doing well and thanks so much for all your help and support when I was struggling with my decision.

Susie,

See girl I told you things would work out. Things do happen for a reason and maybe this is what you needed to happen to have you start a new job and a new way of life. I am sure all the tests will come back fine. Let us know when you start. I think you made the right choice. I am proud of you for dealing with the issue instead of sitting back and eating through it. WE all have to do more of that and that includes myself. Great job. I am sure you are happy now that you have made the decision. I don't blame you for not telling anyone else.
