Exciting news
Hi everyone! Hope all is well with everybody, and that the new year is going good!
I have some exciting news to share with you all - I recently applied for a new job, and got news on Friday, that I was chosen to fulfil the position!! I am so very excited - it's a wonderful opportunity for me. We are a mining town, and I will be working for the second largest mining company here. It is a substantial raise, plus I get a very nice signing bonus!
Of course the downside to all this is that I must inform my employer, train a new person, and say goodbye to all my co-workers . That will be hard, but of course, I will make new friends at the new job too, and I will still see those who have become close friends, just not everyday!!
I just wanted to share my news with everyone! Have a great day!

Congratulations on your new endeavor, Lynne. What will your new job be? That is wonderful news and making new friends is not a bad side effect of your new job, either. LOL. Great news. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks Amy! My new position is Senior Financial Accountant - it's much the same type of work that I do currently, but on a much larger scale.
