Ok, I have to explain....I had applied for a job at this place last October, and they selected someone else. The current job was work I liked, but the benefits were non-existent, so I was keeping a look out for something better. The wonderful HR person at the new place remembered me, pulled my resume out of the file, and called me for an interview 3 or 4 weeks ago. They called me for a second interview last Thursday, and the HR person told me she was pretty sure they were going to give me an offer the next day (Friday). I called home Friday noon to see if there was any news, and my DH said, yes, they left a phone message that an offer would be in my e-mail. So I didn't have to worry about hurting anyone's feelings by giving my notice, because they laid me off first! I got home at 4:00, talked it over with DH, and called them back to accept. Better pay, better benefits, shorter drive!
Thanks for all your good wishes!
Boy, did you ever step in it!! I say that because I noticed on your avatar where you live, and that sort of thing just doesn't happen much around here. Congrats to you!!!
