Movin' On Up!

Hey Ragers and Ragettes!!

Well it's been quite an interesting few weeks for me.  And the movement continues.

Today I received a call about the job interview that I had in Liverpool.  I got the job.  It's more money but I don't think I am going to take it.

The benefit package isn't as good as where I am now.  I get more vacation days in my current job, plus we get a bonus if we hit our sales target (more often than not we do!)  and I received a huge bonus at Christmas. 

At the job in Liverpool I only get a standard package.  No incentive bonuses. 

Plus I like the area where I live.  I think that I considered it because I want to so desperately move out from where I am now.

So I had a think and as both of my managers are in Austria skiing, I called up the silent partner who sits in on the weekly board meetings and told him that I was offered another job.  He sounded a bit shocked and standoffish but he called my 2 managers and he called me straight back saying that they want me to stay on and on Monday when they return they want to have a meeting with me.

And I think I am going to use this opportunity to get a better wage. 

I also decided to grow a set of balls and I told my housemate that I am moving out in April when there is a break in the contract.

She got upset, called me selfish and walked out and slammed the door.  I didn't feel guilty like I normally would, this is how I know that this is right. 

She has since texted me saying that she feels a bit sad and let down but so far she has been nice.  I have 8 weeks to find a new place to live.  I have 3 areas that I am looking for places in:  Manchester City Center, the area around work and I found this awesome converted mill building that looks so cool!!!

I can now finally take my guinea pigs with me.  I can change my address on my driving licence.  I can finally move on.

I know that the first few months might be a bit of a struggle but I know it's worth it.  My own space.  I cannot wait!!!

So there is movement now.  Positive movement.  The next 8 weeks might be a bit strange with my housemate.  She is 6 weeks sober almost and I am hoping that this won't tip her over the edge but I have to move on.

I am excited for the future and right now I actually feel......happy.  I feel so happy!!! 

So onwards and upwards indeed!!!

Until next time Ragers and Ragettes, keep your head and standards high and your heels even higher!!

Lots of love
