BS: I'm celebrating!

Subject: I'm celebrating!
From: Catrin

To those of you who so kindly gave me reassurance and support when I was seriously p****d off at being rejected for yet another job in this thread here, I would like to announce that:

I have just been offered a great job!!!!!!

The job is doing research with children with visual impairment, assessing needs and unmet needs - and it sounds just ME for all sorts of reasons. Lots of talking to people and lots of messing about on computers too.

For those of you (and I know there are many) who are in the situation I was in a couple of months ago (well until just now actually, when I got the phone call). Rest assured, have patience, there is hope. Believe me, I know!

Just thought I'd share some good news with everybody.

Cheers,

Catrin

P.S. The money ain't bad either!

Yo!

Well done.

Know what you're feeling, as the present Mrs Skipjack is also celebrating re-entering the workplace, landing a job this very week, working for CRUSE, the UK bereavement counselling service. The memsahib is glad to be finally doing something with a moral dimension, as prior to standing still too long and getting pregnant, she worked for arms manufacturers and dodgy passport dealers in the early '80's.

Well done you.

Skipjack

And thanks everybody - so many replies already!!!!!!

Catrin - on her way to the tavern to celebrate

Great! I hope the job is as good as you anticipate it to be. And I hope it still gives you enough time to enjoy the music, and everything and everyone you love.

Naemanson - the hours are negotiable - either full time for twelve months or part time for longer! I'm opting for the part time, so I can get on with family, studies, music, social life........

Yippeee!!!

This is great to hear, I need to hear things like this, having been turned down for yet another job for which I was invited to apply by the hiring manager! Luckily, I like what I'm doing now... not that a promotion wouldn't have been welcome! Congrats again, Catrin, this sounds like a GOOD job. In the senses of civil responsibility AND fun. Let us know how it is in a month or so...

Mazel Tov Catrin, I am very happy for you.
When does your new job start?
Guess for the first while your mind will be wrapped around your new work. It is wonderful to hear persistence and faith has offered you this opportunity.
May you enjoy the work.
May you have a kind boss
May you be able to dress casually and not have to buy fancy clothing for the job.
And may they give you time to be at the Mudcat Cafe.

Like Jon, I will make a congrats toast to you tonight at our Rosh Hashanah dinner.

Bonnie

Subject: RE: BS: I'm celebrating!
From: Catrin

I start on the 16th
I don't have to buy any posh clothes (formal dress intimidates children)
My boss seems extremely considerate and is already including me in basic decisions such as where I would like to work from etc
The job is just my cup of tea, 'cos I like people but I like computers too
Its only three days a week so I should still have time for mudcat - and for a course I am just starting on creative writing

Thank you thank you one and all!

Ha, it may be three days now, bet it stretches into 5 - jobs you like doing always do!!

Well done, good luck, you're a braver soul than I, I did 6 months as a teachers assistant and vowed never ever to attempt to deal with children ever again. Good luck - you'll need it!!
