I feel ashamed.
I am ashamed. It has been 2 weeks since my last posting. I told myself that I would be better at posting regularly, and I have failed. Maybe if I plead a little, they will not revoke my blogging license. ;-)
It has been hectic. We had to get the house ready for company as my Father-in-Law is here for a visit. BH and I are not the best house keepers. We try, but are always amazed at people that can keep a nice, neat house even with little ones running around.
Work has been busy as well. We had some of the big bosses in on Monday, and I had to give them a presentation on safety in our plant. What was supposed to be a 15 minute power point presentation ended up being 45 minutes because of questions. Fun, fun, fun.
Then there was the little matter of my interview on Wednesday. It went very well, I think. I am going back for a third one this week. The CEO made in sound like this next one was more of a "Confirmation Hearing" than anything. When we talked about salary, he didn't bat an eyelash at the salary I told him I would need. We even discussed other benefits. I asked for roughly 150-170% of what I make now. I don't want to jinx it, but I really think it looks good.
The one problem with it is BH. She is not sure if she wants to live in that area. She was expecting it to be very picturesque since it is near the Ohio River. She was not expecting it to look more industrial. And since it is a small town, she is not sure of the amenities. She is also worried about finding new doctors. With her health issues, that is a valid concern.
I think she will come around, but I will have to play this one carefully with her. This could be such a stepping stone for my career, and make way for even bigger jobs to come.
Keep your fingers crossed for me. I can still use all the kind thoughts you can spare.
Later,
Deej
