New Job

I got a new job!! I had not been liking my job for almost a year and I dreded going everyday. I loved the people I worked with but there was a ton of changes and it just wasnt a happy place to be. Before I graduated with my MSW I started applying for a full time job as a hospital social worker but had no luck due to not having 3 years experience. I was getting really frustrated. I then applied for a job with my same agency and I got it :) It came with a nice raise, 15 miles closer to home, less drama and I get to keep all my vacation time, sick time etc. I am still a manager and have 5 staff. This program focuses on working with families who are at risk for child abuse so this job has new challenges which I am exicited for. Im still working at the hospital every other weekend which I enjoy. I feel so much LESS stress with my new job and its so nice to not have to work from home at night after I get home. I get to spend lots of time with Zac which is what I love to do since I barely got to see him when I was in graduate school :)

Hey Tia Girl!! It was so nice to hear from you! Congrats on your new job (and all your acomplishments in school-- that is so awesome!) It is so fun to see people from school that have married other people from school. I saw you and Zack and was like... WHAT! That is cool! You guys look great together and look like you are having tons of fun. Keep in touch :D Jill

Im happy for you that you have a job you like more now. If I worked out of the home I would be wanting to do the things you do. That is a job I picture myself having. Someday if I decided to finish school and do it, I will need some words of advice and experience from you :)

Hey Tia! Congrats on the new job. How have you guys been? It looks like you had a blast on your cruise! Scott and I need that! The furthest we get is usually a hotel in Scottsdale. But it's always a blast! Tell Zac we say HI!!
