"New" job

Normally I'd be super excited, but I'm not for some reason. Not sure if it's just the mood I'm in or the circumstances surrounding my employment.

I got a rejection email on Monday from the place I really wanted to work. Poo.

And I think I pretty much had this new job before I even interviewed.

Two weeks from now I'll be working at the front desk at the Holiday Inn in Cherokee. That's about 20 minutes from where I live. It's a pay raise, so that's good. I'm still being paid well below what I feel like I should be earning as a soon to be Nicole M.S., but I'm rooted in reality and know that I won't start making that kind of money until I land a competitive job in my field.

I'm hoping it's a better fit for me. I hate leaving a job only a couple of months in, but when you combine late paychecks with people relieving me late and the feeling of being taken advantage of by the hotel owners, I think it's time to look elsewhere.

When I told my manager she got a little upset and asked if I couldn't give her 1 more month because she's still training the night audit person. No. Once she found out that I have something else lined up and I mentioned I'm giving two weeks while others have just up and left, she backed down a bit.

The end.
