my streak hasnt ended :)  my new dept rocks.  its a lot like my old dept was when i started in retirements - when i liked it more.  so its definitely a good thing.  my manager for some reason is letting me "do whatever i want" :)  i dont know why.  maybe the vp said something to her?  so i was talking to the vp at lunch and i mentioned i've always wanted to be in this group that i'm at now and she said she'd look into making it permanent.  kick ass. :)

i have an interview this coming week at that other place.  with my raise now i might get more than i am making now.  the lowest end of the range was more than i was making but now its less so i'll have to charm them.  i cant see myself taking it unless its more that i make but like i said the benefits are better, and they'll license me instead of me doing it on my own like i am now.  they called me last night and had even more openings that havent been posted yet that they want me to consider.  i'm supposed to call them back monday to let them know if i want to interview for those too or instead of this one.  its a lot to think about.  my work seems to have turned around at least a little bit.  i make a little more, i like this new dept a lot and if i get to stay that would be very cool, but what if i start at the new place and the way cool benefits take a long time to start?  its at the 101 and raintree so that would be just about the worst drive ever (hours are 9:30 - 6pm), and if i end up moving this summer that would be 3 jobs held in 2 years not counting the one i'd be trying for in the new place.  then again if it seems like a better place to work then it might be worth it.
