I got a call the day after election day asking if I was still interested in a Contact Tracing job I had applied for way back in April. I said yes and it has been a bit of a whirlwind ever since. Last week, I got a promotion. Nearly 20 years at the hospital and not only did I never get a promotion, they actively prevented me from moving away from my position because they did not want to lose me from that position. Their lose.
I like the new job. It is interesting, fast paced, I'm working with good people and......I GET TO WORK FROM HOME! I hope I can keep working from home forever!
I know the blog has suffered extreme neglect and I would like to say that will change, but with this new job - something had to give and the blog took the big hit. All of the critters are doing well and everyone was quite happy right up until we got 44 inches of snow dumped on us. They are not to impressed with that. I'm not too impressed myself, especially as, not only did the snow shovel fall apart today, but the snow blower went into complete system failure. The electric start broke, one tire came off the rim, the auger quit turning and then the engine started smoking and all the oil spewed out the back. I shut it down just before it started on fire and, in retrospect, I think that was a mistake.
But....it is OK because I get to WORK FROM HOME. YIPPEE!
Thank goodness you didn't have to try and go to work in that. Wow and congrats on that job.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new job!! Don't worry about us people in the blogosphere. We are just happy to know that you are doing well. Send us the occasional picture and word when you can and we will be content, knowing that you are prospering.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kris I'm so happy! I'm so glad you got the job! I hate that you got all the snow, be safe out there!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your job and working from home. Appreciate the update that you and the animals are okay. Your blog readers will be here. Merry Christmas and peace, health and hope in a New Year of better and better days.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you. What a relief. I really was hating that you didn't have one.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, those doggies.
Yikes on the snow machine. 44 inches....no thank you very much. I hate the 2 or 3 inches we get once in a blue moon.
:-D
ReplyDeleteYaay!! Super happy for you! Love when good things happen to good people. Hope you will continue not only your blog, but also your craft to some degree. It's been fun to see your beautiful various creations. Don't lose anyone in those snowbanks!
ReplyDeleteConnor the Snowplow! Makes his own path,
ReplyDeleteHurray for the new job! Hip hip hurray for the promotion!!!!! Yippee for getting to work from home! Sorry about all the snow but yeah! Work from home!!
ReplyDeleteI must admit, your snow blower story had me laughing and crying and snorting coffee out my nose, LOL! Maybe with the new job/promotion the Brown Truck can deliver a new one. So happy for you!
Don't worry about the blog. Just keep us posted on Instagram so we know you're ok. Merry Christmas!!
44" of snow is mind boggling to me. I have never seen so much snow. I am glad you get to stay home. Congrats on the new job and promotion. This sounds like a daunting task. And to be without a snowblower at this point and time. Gosh... Life can be difficult.
ReplyDeleteThat's way too much snow! I'm sure the pups like it more than you do! Congratulations on your new job! So nice to work from home...good luck. And a merry Christmas to you and all your farm critters.
ReplyDeleteOVER THE MOON that you got the new job and that it is working out so well for you!!! 44" of freaking snow - Oh My Gawd! So far wee are getting about like last year a skiff here and there. Good luck with the snow blower - you need it!
ReplyDeleteThat is sooooo exciting! I've been worried about you, all way up there, from my home the way down here in Oz. It is such a relief to know you and the kids will be safe and happy there, and you get to stay with them ALL DAY AND NIGHT!
ReplyDeleteThat's one heck of a lot of snow!!! It makes it very hard to do the important work of chasing frisbees.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job and the promotion. You are quite right ... Hospital's loss if they cannot recognize talent/hard work and take care of the Employees. Especially since health care is so much in the news these days (You did explain your job some time back. I work in IT for a reference lab and deal with many of the specialties from the data point of view).
ReplyDeleteI did wonder if you were going to be in the path of that snow storm. Wow, 44 inches and presumably quite bit of wind and snow drift too. Good to see all the critters are doing well. It looks like the donkeys have a little more preservation sense about snow (haha) Did Qilin figure it out?
