That's right! I got the Postmaster job I interviewed for!
*Insert ridiculously dorky happy dance here*
I've actually known since last Monday that I had the job, but my boss asked me to keep it quiet until all the other applicants got their rejection letters from HR. I told my hubby and my parents, but I have been about to BUST wanting to tell everyone else!
Someone that doesn't work for the Postal Service doesn't understand what a difference there is between a large office's supervisor job and a small office Postmaster job. So let me just tell you that the difference is unbelievable. There is soooooooooooo much less stress. When I was supervising, I knew I was stressed, but I honestly didn't realize how bad I felt until I was sent on a detail assignment as Postmaster all those months ago. The job change is actually a one-level downgrade, which comes out to be about a $3,000 difference in my annual salary, but it is absolutely worth every penny and then some to feel good again and not have to work 50- to 60-hour weeks.
2010 is really looking up. :)Labels: work
