...chicken butt. heh, it's always Chicken Butt....


Nono, let me try this again: Guess what?

The MIA offered me the job I applied for. I've accepted. I'll be starting the second week of April, if things go well... I'm very excited. A little nervous. Just a little sad--I've been at the Inferno for years and years. But I think and hope this will be a very positive change for me...


It's still cold and windy out....but it's definitely starting to feel like spring:)

You better be getting a fat raise, too! You deserve it.

I'm hoping to be off "probation" around then too so there will be victory curry, yes?

It'll be approximate at first, but I'll get a raise after 3 months, and it sounds like this is a good window for getting one of the Union positions quicker than normal...plus it'll be SO much less stressful.

Curry celebration sounds like a wonderful thing... April, mid april?

*Throws confetti into the air* The "inferno" will NEVER be the same. Best of luck to you on the new job! You know...if Minneapolis calls to offer you an interview for the CAS Operator job- you can still go and give it a shot. (I'm not sure you got my e-mail from a few weeks ago- but you did make the list!) Doesn't hurt to have another option open.

Anyways....I'm VERY HAPPY for you!! Stop by and see me whenever you like!! And I won't even make you bring chocolates!!

I'll keep my phone and options open...I'm glad I made the list:) Maybe if I don't like the MIA and something opens up I can switch over. *nods*

meanwhile, I think I can still bring some chocolate by sometime:D

Congratulations! I admire the way you take care of yourself. You were determined to get out of a bad living situation and YOU DID.
You've been working at getting a new job and YOU DID!!

Now that you'll soon be leaving, may I ask the official name of the Minimalist Inferno? Is MIA the Minneapolis Institute of Art?

From: [identity profile] msfledermaus.livejournal.com
I try hard....I've had to do it before, so I felt like I could do it again; even if it took me a while:)

And Dante's Minimalist Inferno is...the Walker Art Center, where both Mamichan and I work currently. The MIA is the Institute, who just offered me a job. I should take a picture of the Waker's new facade, which from the street looks uncannily like either a big scary ice cube or a Giant Angry Robot:)

It's a little scary...I've been at the Infero a long time...change is scary, but this needs to happen...and I'll be so much happier.

And I can come and see you once I get all this oral surgery and new job stuff and jury duty all settled. Whaddaya think, sir?

YES! I'm so happy for you! You need to get out of that insanity, even though it has its good bits and the security of being a known quantity.

And you're right, it does feel like spring. I think it's the longer days.

From: [identity profile] msfledermaus.livejournal.com
I am trading some security, that's for sure...but sick days are no good if you're tacitly discouraged to use them and are scolded if you do...and I really should have had a new job title and possibly a bigger raise for all the extras they threw onto my back. I know that sometimes you have to trade security for a better environment...and with a little luck maybe this new job will give me more of the things I really need:)
