What a way to end the Week ~

The ball is rolling, picking up speed and things just seem to be getting better and better!

I had a meeting with my boss yesterday (Friday for me) bascially I resigned from operations, not immediately because its peak season, in October to give them enough time to train someone new.

I also told her of my plans, to study and become qualified, and to take on other peoples accounts, and continue to do theirs, but not as an employee, but a contractor.

It will take me a year or so of studying by the way so this is long term. She surprised me, she really did, yes to everything. A pay rise, a 4 day week and NO operations. She said she'd support me to do what I wanted, because! You guessed it, she doesn't want to lose me.

At then end of the day all three bosses had a meeting and they are going to employ two more people to take up the slack of what I did in ops (I did allot guys, way too much) and I will have a more senior roll in accounts and staffing HR.

I've already got loads of info on my course, I'm just trying to find the right place to do it with. It has to be govt accredited so I need to be careful but also pinch my penny's so to speak. As the cost ranges from 2k right up to 5k in some places. It doesn't come cheap to become an accountant.

Hubby is thrilled, I guess because he comes from a conservative background that a life qualification is a good thing. Direction. Picking up the slack of finances won't be too difficult because the shortfall will only be a matter of 40 to 60 odd dollars, thats peanuts, thats called dinner out or a new pair of shoes nothing!

Seems as though Saturn is doing wonders in my sign right now, not that I pay too much attention to that stuff.

I'm so glad to hear that it's going along smoothly. Investing in the classes is a good thing, and I'm sure you'll do very well.

I don't know why Uni but everything is falling into place right now, its truly amazing. Life's been so rough this last year I almost gave up on myself but it seems persevernce counts.

Maybe the rough time was placed there to help you appreciate this new smoother patch. I don't think anyone honestly deserves rough times, but like yin yang, sometimes they're neccesary.

Lucy, I am sooo happy for you. It all sounds wonderful and I'm betting that the bosses not wanting to lose you was dessert!

lucyt said almost 2 years ago ...

Uni - Yes, perhaps they are meant to test how much we want something.

Woman - Honesty is always the best policy, I didn't want to screw them over its not my nature, and giving them the ooportunity to come to the party was the best thing for them.

We even had wine that afternoon at work !!

It surely hasn't been all peachy and nice, and work DEFINITELY hasn't been. I sure am glad to be able to come here and purge it so I can feel refreshed and happy tomorrow. Thank you again Yakkstr!

Not fair
My son cried to me after his visit to his dad, saying it is not fair that things are the way they are. I knew that the words coming out of his mouth were not his and tried to get him say it, but it only made him cry. Of course, when the poor little thing
