I have a new job!!!

This has to be quick because I am on my lunch break, but the good news is that I got a new job!
I am going to be a Medical Receptionist at Women's Healthcare Associates which is on the Legacy Meredian Park Hospital Campus. I applied for this position about 2 months ago, and had pretty much lost hope. I had one interview, but it just felt like it went ok. When I didn't hear anything I figured that because of my lack of experience I didn't get it. Well, about 3 weeks after that interview they called me back and said the office wanted to meet me. I went in and I felt like that interview went really well. Before I left, they gave me paperwork to go have a drug test done, and when that happened I figured they were really interested. Most companies won't spend the money on drug testing if they are not serious abou the applicant.
Monday morning I got a phone call from their HR rep who offered me the job. Not only is it perfect because it is in the medical field, but its also 3 minutes from my house, a lot more money (which I wasn't expecting) there is a daycare on site for Alexxa, and I don't have to pay for my health insurance! To top it all off the hours are Monday-Friday 8-5. AMAZING! Believe it or not though, it took me a long time to decide if I wanted to do it or not. It was offered to me Monday and I didn't give my 2 weeks notice to the bank until today. Up to this point I was working part time and this job is full time. Giving up that time with Alexxa is going to be a big sacrifice. But it makes me feel better knowing that she will be at the daycare that is just right downstairs. I am also getting back into school this summer so that I can work towards what I really want to do which is nursing. Someday when I finish school and get the nursing job I want, I will be able to work 12 hour days, or I can even work nights if I want so that I will be able to be with her during they day.
Anyways, I am so excited about this new adventure! I am one step closer to my goal. Yay!
