Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

DH got a new job! Large corporation with lots of room for upward growth. One of the guys he interviewed with said that they were going to have a problem with trying to keep him on the level he was hired at because the company will want to promote him.

DH is... He want a to work at this level for awhile first. Learn the business. But then he is fine with it.

Also, $1,000 more a month. Give it take? And not necessarily better health insurance, but they pay MORE or the monthly cost. I dint know what percentage they pay yet. But it HAS to be better than the old job. (SiL worked at the same company as DH for a few months. When she quit to work for the Ubiquitous Yellow Store, she took an overall pay cut, but the take home pay was more because of insurance.)

The whole insurance thing is what really made DH go "Huh..." and start looking. And after some of the crap that has gone on for the last few months, I'm glad he did.

Out of boredom and curiosity, he watched a video on how to tell if your workplace is a toxic environment. He scoffed at the beginning, he said. Then, as he was watching it, started going "oh..." Apparently half of the examples he could identify in his office.

In other news: Eldest has a job interview tomorrow for a thing that could be an actual career. Not that retail is not a career. But a job that will pay him a real wage and that has growth opportunities. So, wish him luck on that.

And other, other news: SiL is gonna have twins! They are due Easter.

MiL is going to drive us crazy with it, I am sure...

*flails* No, seriously. *FLAILS*

Lots of F words in here. )

OK.  I have ranted and babbled and dealt with some of my built up feelings.  Now I feel like I'm going to pass out.

*tired wave*

Am back from the amusement/water park.  Am exhausted.

The in-laws and Eldest should be on their way home.  The park closed at 7.  Youngest was exhausted and didn't want to admit it.  He was so tired that he fell asleep on the ride on in a really uncomfortable position and didn't want to wake up.

Did no manage to play in the water part of the park.  Oh well.

Did I mention exhausted?  Thank God for Miss Jenn who was also tired and wanted to go home.  MiL took control of her two kids and Miss Jenn took me and Eldest home.  Yay.

Liz is funny.

Narnia and birthday fun tomorrow.  AR on Saturday.  Laura, Vicky, and Mal...  Please take it easy on me Saturday night.  It's been a tiring week.
