greener pastures, maybe?

i was offered a position with the county last week. my friend, Dot, works as the tax collector assessor and needed another helper in her office so i applied. about a month later she offered me the job and i accepted. so last monday i turned in my two-week notice to a mostly un-curious boss. friday is my last day, thank goodness. i tell you what, to work in a place where no one cares about your doings, it's all very strange and i still haven't gotten used to it even after nearly 2 years.

next week i'll be in the northwest with my mom for vacation. we've had that planned for a while now. and the day after i return from vacation i'll drive to San Antonio with my new coworkers for a 2-day seminar. June 10 will be my first day in my new office.

so what will i be doing? well, i'll be working with the public nearly all day, every day, with three other ladies. i'll help the people register their vehicles with the state, give them license plates, handicap permits, process titles, and many other things i have no clue about yet. it'll be completely different than anything i've done before. kind of a mix between office and fast food cultures.

i'm a bit nervous about the learning curve, but i'm a fast learner so i should be alright. i hope. wish me luck! :-)

i think you will have no problem learning and catching on. you may be a little put off by people's attitudes if they are anything like they are here at our MVA which is busy non-stop. you get a lot of people stomping out and getting mad here but it may be more laid back where you are. i'm so happy you found another job so quickly and it sounds like it will be an exciting one - one that will change from day to day cuz u never know what type of people will come in. it will keep you interested me thinks. sorry that your uncurious boss had no interest about your leaving.

i wish you luck and will keep u in my prayers...
love ya
