#106 Employment ApplicaShawn #2

Well I was called into my Boss' office this afternoon. 

He wanted to know if I was sill interested in the position.  I wanted to say, "Does a bear shit in the woods", but instead I said, "Yes. Very much so." 

He said he was glad to hear that. 

And while it's not mine yet, it seems they shifted how they will be hiring the secondary position... based on my getting Accounts Receivables.

So, nothing is official yet, but it's looking good.

Keeping fingers crossed!

So I've officially applied for a position at work that becomes available as of January 1st 2015. 

The current Accounts Receivable person is retiring on Dec 31st, and her position needs to be filled by July for training purposes.  

Now, I'm about 65-70% trained in the position as her primary back-up, so it seems to make sense. And given recent events - loss of 4 clients from the region that I'm the Customer Service rep (thanks to lack-luster contract proposals and piss-poor pricing... and the confirmed loss of 3 more next year) it's worth my cementing my position further in the company. 

I'd still retain my current responsibilities, but since they're diminishing due to the aforementioned losses, I'll at least have the time. And again, it's about preservation at work.

So... fingers crossed.
