We have great news!

Okay, I can see what's running through your minds already...no we are not pregnant. I've been with my job for 2 and 1/2 months now and I got the job thinking that it would be temporary until I found something that I could use my degree for. About a month ago, there was a position open that I applied for at my work that would put me a step up. It was a $.40 raise (which isn't much but every little bit counts at this point). Unfortunately I wasn't offered that position and I was so frustrated that I wasn't moving up anywhere. So a few weeks ago they let us know that they were hiring for a 2 Team Lead Supervisor positions. Our company is growing fast and they are constantly hiring new people and they are needing a lot more management to handle it. So yesterday I had an interview with my boss and today I had to do a phone interview with corporate in SLC. And then this afternoon they offered me the job! So this position has a 30% raise, which is such a relief to us! They let me know that my education played a huge factor. It feels nice to be getting into a position that is not entry level. This is the first promotion that I've ever had and it's a great feeling. My boss told me that from the moment she first met me that she knew I would be going places in the company, so that's always encouraging to hear. I get to spend 4 days in Salt Lake City training, so it will be nice to get to be home for a little bit. Unfortunetly my schedule will be changing to Tuesday thru Saturday. In the business we are in, it's a 24/7/365 job and so all Team Lead Supervisors have to work 1 weekend day. I'm just glad that I'll have Sundays off. But I only get to go to one more football game this season, so that's kind of a bummer. We just feel really blessed that everything is falling into place.

P.S. I'll be in charge of 10-15 people on my team and we have to come up with a team name. Anyone got anything witty or fun? I'm open to suggestions...
