Happy Sandi

Most people know by now that I quit my job at the newspaper. Friday was my last day. After working there for over 9yrs it is going to be strange working some place else. I was ready for a change and an amazing opportunity presented itself. I really am happy. It was very nice for the staff to get me a cake and going away gifts. Even though I didn't really want anything from them, it was very thoughtful. I guess they really do know me well. I absolutely love the scent pods. In fact I am burning the mulled cider one right now. The Vanilla candle looks great in my living room and smells fabulous as well.


I also love Tratorria's and the gift certificate will come in handy. A separate card from the publisher was also unexpected with generous gift certificates for meat and groceries. I am very thankful. To those that I worked with and didn't get a chance to really say goodbye, I am sorry about that. I must say the last 3 days I worked at the paper were the hardest and busiest. I wanted to leave on a good note and have everything done and up to date so that the new girl would not quit after 3 days like my last trainee. Training a new person is exhausting especially when there was only 2.5 days left to train her. I am certain she will do just fine(:
Friday I worked on payroll at my new job and it was a bit different than what I was used to doing, but It made me happy. I am very happy working in an administration position again. In my new job there is an added bonus of also helping customers design countertops, cupboards, vanities, desks etc. That part I am learning as I go along. The staff are so friendly and don't mind me asking questions. I always enjoyed helping customers. That is what I liked when I worked in retail for all those years.
I feel great....no more work stress and no papers to deliver because the carriers quit or the drivers missed delivering. Life is going to be good!
