promotion



I am really excited. I got a promotion. Let me start from the beginning. My boss came to me a few weeks ago and asked me to go to night shift. (I'm a supervisor for those who didn't know and I work in a manufacturing plant) Anyhoo, I told him that I couldn't do nights because I know how I am. I am basically a day person. He told him it would only be temporarily and that he promised I would come back to days in about six months. So I told him I would think about it. Anyhoo, I had about a month to think about it and I was going to do it just to help the company out. (talk about loyalty).
Again anyhoo, my boss came to me a few days ago and told me to forget about going to nights, he had another position for me. Can you believe it? I am the new (drum roll) HR specialist. Human resource. Ha and I have no idea what I have to do. I told him that, but he says he has that much confidence in me, that he knows I can do it, besides they will send me to classes to learn. Not only is it days, (M-F 7am-4pm) I no longer have to do weekends too. I just couldn't believe it. I am actually excited about it! I just hope I have confidence too to do this job. I start probably in September.
Oh yea, before I go. I am going back to school too. I am doing criminal justice, something I have been interested in for such along time, I thought it was about time I do something, before I get too old (I'm 47). If I find out it isn't for me, then I can always put my time and effort into this HR position. Well there you have it. my life in a nut shell. ha!!
I don't know what is wrong with this blog. sometimes it puts too many spaces between paragraphs and sometimes it won't put it there at all? Am I an idiot?

congrats on your promotion. HR is not a bad place to be, especially with no weekends. Hubby teaches CJ online so if you have questions let me know!

Congratulations on the promotion! Things have a way of working out, ya know. Good luck with the CJ classes. You are far more industrious than I.

Well done!

As for the spacing and other such stuff, it's Blogger, not you.

Well done on your promotion, and don't stress too much about Blogger. It's a law unto itself and has done any and all things to most of us along the way!
