    Talking Wonderful new job!!

    Last week I started working at a new job. I am SOOOOOO beyond thrilled!!!

    I've always been stuck working in a hostile work environment (swearing, verbal abuse, etc.). Until NOW!!!

    EVERYONE at this place is SO nice!! I'm finding it "too good to be true". I waited all last week for someone to be mean...or say bad words...throw somethin'...anything bad! It never happened!!! I finally commented on it to the lady who is training me. She grinned and giggled a bit...she said she had come from a really bad work environment, too...and had done the same thing I was doing..."waiting for someone to be awful". It just doesn't happen there...

    People are nice, friendly, happy for any help you give them... I not only don't mind going to work...I LIKE it!!!

    It's even great pay and benefits!! And I found out that one of the ladies there goes to my Church (it's a big Church, so easy not to know everyone) and is interested in starting some activities there...same as me!!! So, we're going to team up and start some fun stuff! Woo-hoo!!

    Still seems too good to be true...no abuse, happy work environment, great pay. I've been jokingly calling it an "office utopia". hehehe

    Just so excited...had to share!

    ~I'm so pleased to hear that! The people you work with are really crucial to workplace contentment aren't they? DH tells me he likes to go to work. They even have foosball and ping-pong tournaments with the upper management during breaks. Praise God for leading you to such a blessing!~

    Good for you! It always cheers me to hear the "UP" stories instead of just the down ones. I'm hoping my environment improves soon, w/o changing jobs.
