New job

So ever since I quit my old job I felt that the only job I would get would be at the post office. Well, I got it but it was not the best of hours. But I am thankful for it because it gave me a lot of money when I had run out of it.

Well, we got back from Michigan on Tuesday and on Weds I had an interview for a receptionist position. She never got the email that I was coming so I ended up sitting there for over an hour before she came back from lunch. I was annoyed. The pay for the job wasn't that great and I just was not in the mood.

I got a call later that day saying they offered me a job. Not the receptionist, but doing data entry. It's about $4 or $5 less then the post office, but after they hire me on (right now I'm hired on through a temp company) they pay health 100%. Which will be right around my birthday which is when I lose mom's insurance.

So that was the deciding factor for me. I went in Weds night and told the post office I would work the rest of the week and then I would start this new job on Monday. The hours are WAY better (8-4 instead of 4-midnight) and it's a SET schedule. I don't be sent home after two hours or made to work 10 hour days. 8-4, Mon-Fri.

I can always go back to the post office if this doesn't work out (if they are hiring, I don't have to go through training and stuff again, I can just get hired back on). So I'm nervous because I won't be making that much an hour. I know I will have more than enough money to get by and still put stuff away into my savings, but just not as much as I would have with the post office. Which means I probably won't go back to school for a year, but that's okay. The benefits outweigh everything else.
