Mama's Got a Brand New Job | Janis Powers

First day on the new job, and this is the welcome I received! And tomorrow, there‘s a welcome breakfast. I think I‘m going to like it here. But for now, please let the ibuprofen kick in before book group, because I‘m sporting a mighty headache. 😀 Thanks for the good wishes!

Lcsmcat @Bookwormjillk 😂 6y

Lcsmcat @CouronneDhiver So far no unpleasant surprises. It‘s going to take a bit to learn how they do things, but they expect that. So no mind reading required. 6y

Lcsmcat @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks, it has. Too much squinting at the computer. 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Lcsmcat I‘ve had the same problem at my prn job! 6y

I applied for a position at a library an hour and a half away from my current library and I got the job! I‘ve been doing nothing but apartment hunting since. I need to move within the next 2 weeks and I‘m so incredibly stressed out! I‘m excited for the new job but dying at the idea of moving!

Starting a new job this morning! I'll be working at my lovely local library, and I'm pretty excited about it. Also a bit anxious, because new things make me anxious, but that will get better.

Anyone else doing something new today?

CrowCAH Congrats! Channel your inner book heroine and you‘ll be fine. 📚 New adventures and pages to fill of your own story! 7y

alisiakae Congrats, and good luck on your first day!! 7y

TheKidUpstairs @BookaholicNatty thank you! No hiding in the bathroom to read, but my TBR is in trouble already! So many books!!! At least it's a library and not a bookstore, so if I go home with armloads it won't hurt my paycheque, right? 7y

Hi littens! This isn‘t book related, but remember a few weeks ago when I was at work feeling like a contestant on The Bachelor? Well, guess what?!?!?

I got the final rose!!!!

Even though the official start date of my new position (an internal promotion) isn‘t until February 12th, I‘ve already started the job and have started moving into my new office. It‘s going to be a hard next few months, but I‘m going to learn so much! I‘m so happy!

alisiakae Congrats!!🍾🎉 🌹 7y

Well- good news, bad news situation. The good news: I got a new job!! It seems like a good company & better pay. Bad news: I turned in my 2 weeks' notice today, and my company made it effective immediately "due to low volume", so that they could put someone else in my position. Therefore, I have to go 2 weeks with no job, unless my new company can push through all of the paperwork faster. Looks like my layoff hunch was right!

BookFreakOut That stinks, but at least you have somewhere to go and it sounds like it was a good time to get out. And congrats on the job! 🙌 (edited) 8y

NovelGirl82 @BookFreakOut Thanks!! I was really concerned that I wouldn't have one before the layoffs hit. I'm a bit upset about not having pay for 2 weeks, but we had some money put back, so I'm using it as time to spring clean, get things in order, & decompress before I start the new job. (edited) 8y

Bostonmomx2 That really stinks but more and more common in today's climate I think. Congrats on the new job. What type of work do you do? 8y

NovelGirl82 @Bostonmomx2 I'm an RHIT- my specialty is inpatient coding (specifically level 1 trauma/teaching hospitals), but I also do outpatient coding, and I've been doing auditing for the past year. I'm going back to coding, though. It has been more common to have low volume for us, as many hospitals over staffed/contracted for ICD-10, but once the major glitches were worked out the excess staff wasn't needed. I'm lucky that my experience is what it is. 8y

Bostonmomx2 @NovelGirl82 oh ok that's right. We've actually talked about this before. I'm on transcription and it's a tough line of work anymore. I hope your new job is awesome!! 8y

Tried reading this book years ago, but wasn't in the right place to enjoy it. Isn't it strange how that can happen: recognizing you're not the target audience -- yet -- but planning to return? And now I'm sucked in.
