A Fresh Start Monday

Today I started another new job...and no, I didn't get let go from the last one in the month that I was there! I had applied for this one at the same time and their hiring process was a bit slower but when the offer came I had to put aside the guilt I felt about the job I was at and really consider:

  • - interesting work on new web projects
  • - a seemingly excited about the work group of coworkers/managers
  • - better pay
  • - a compressed workweek which means every other friday off
  • - still being able to take time off for a visit with my sis


And today the list got better:

  • - a window seat!
  • - subsidized cafeteria and lots of other stuff nearby
  • - a super smart group of coworkers and nice to boot!
  • - a blackberry but no on-call
  • - two (count 'em) two flat screen monitors
  • - a session in my first week that includes lunch at a fancy schmancy spot


The people at the last job were nice - no question about that and the consideration my boss gave me there and how great she was about me leaving was amazing. Almost renewed my faith in people again. But there was still a slight connection to my previous employer and all that drama and trauma. And that is something I would rather not deal with when I have the option of starting fresh.
