More good news!
09/27/2011
After a mere 6 months at my new job, and freshly off probation, I’ve landed myself a promotion and a nice raise! Of course it means 6 months of probation again, but given the faith the town manager has in my ability to do this job, I’m sure those 6 months will fly by as quickly as the last 6 months.
I officially move departments October 20th, and in the mean time have to help interview & train my replacement. This new job has so many perks, first and foremost being the money, but it means I answer to a different supervisor and my current supervisor, who’s become a great friend, and I will have a more flexible schedule to spend time together, and it means I have to have little or no interaction with the coworker I mentioned several posts ago. I can’t find a downside to any of this!
And it means I’m so much closer to my goal of moving out and giving Big Sis her extra room back! I hope to give the new job a couple of months to see how it goes before leaping into a lease somewhere, and then make the move around the first of the year. Mr Marine has been drafted into joining me on the apartment hunt……another reason to pity the poor bastard! 
Given where I was a couple of years ago, the Gods are definitely smiling on me now! Long may this streak continue!
