AAAAAHHHHH
Dec. 23rd, 2015 10:08 pm So, last week I had a phone interview with a store in Everett, WA (about 30 min North of Seattle), sort of paving the way for the transfer I need for when we move. The interview was for a position that would be a promotion -- I didn't think they'd hold it for me, but it was worth a shot, and they'd remember my name for a straight transfer at a time that worked for me.
Well.
WELL.
I got the promotion. (apparently, I "I nailed the phone interview" which seems ridiculous. I was super nervous the whole time). This is fantastic! A guaranteed job when I move half way across the country, AND a rather significant raise! \o/ I don't know how significant yet, since they have to make some calculations to account for the lower wages in my current location. (Washington has a minimum wage 3 or 4 dollars higher than Missouri does, so they need to get my current wage up to what an equivalent position would make there, and THEN factor in the raise for the new position. I should know soon.)
This also should narrow down our apartment search, since we have a definite area we need to look in. And prospective landlords will surely be happier about renting to us with income coming in right away.
Well.

They'll even hold the position -- for a while. But this has accelerated the timeline! I need to be out there by February 1st -- which means we're leaving a month early!
AAAAAAHHHHH
