Were You a Naughty Girl or Nice Girl this Year?

When it rains, it pours.....

Last Monday I was offered a promotion at work. Seems the payroll clerk had decided it was time to move on. I was offered her job with a raise. I turned it down.

You might ask why. Well, I love the job I do now. That job has a lot of stress and I mean a LOT. I don't need that in my life. No amount of money would be enough.

Needless to say, she only gave 1 week's notice. Her last day was Friday. Of course, they haven't had time to fill the position so I will be doing her job for awhile. I hope they can have someone in by mid-December at the latest. I reminded them that I have time off scheduled for early January which includes a Monday -- payroll prep day. And it also is the week after 2 weeks of holidays which are no fun....

I am sorry that the payroll clerk left. I considered her a friend. She had been there almost 18 years. But even if she hadn't resigned, the health problems she had in September are flaring up again so she probably would have been off this coming week anyways. She did say that she wants to get the health issues straightened out before she makes any decisions about what to do next. I wish her all the luck in the world and she will be missed.

So it seems that I will be in work-hell again for awhile. Because even after they hire someone, it will take them time to be trained so I'll be expected to pick up the slack. For the next couple of months it will be 50-60 hour work weeks. Of course, the extra money will be nice. And, like I told the HR gal, I won't have time to get depressed this holiday season which will be a good thing.

So, don't miss me too much while I'm gone ;)
