GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure I've never talked about my now life.  Well, a quick synopsis of me currently:  I'm 27, I recently moved back to Ohio in January and quit my job of almost 3 years to try something new.  I had been working for Hudson News, which are the stores in airports, and was able to transfer from VA to OH back to VA (see my About moi! section, I'm a gypsy!) but wasn't really feeling that I'd go anywhere at that place, which I was completely right.  After almost 3 years I'd only had a total of a $1.36 increase.  Fucking lame.  Anyway, when I moved back here in January I decided to job search and stumbled across an HCV Intern position at the local housing authority.  I'd never done any work for housing authorities, I barely even knew what Section 8 was, let alone Public Housing.  So, long story short I was helping with the caseworkers for Section 8 and Public Housing, but didn't have something I was really supposed to do everyday, just kind of whatever needed to get done for whomever needed the help.  Well, as of Monday we had an opening at work because one of the guys is leaving!!

As of April 22 I'll have been at my job 2 months.  And guess who's getting promoted and getting a very nice pay raise starting May 2?!  THAT WOULD BE MEEEEEE!!!  I'm SO freaking excited!!!  My official title will be HCV Certification Specialist II.  Sounds fancy, huh??  Basically I'll be dealing with the people on Section 8 who are already on our program and want to move to a different unit, who want to port-out to another city/state's housing authority or who want to port-in to our housing authority from another city/state's.  It's a lot to process and get used to, especially since I've just been doing intern stuff, but I'm SO EXCITED for this opportunity!!  Not to mention this pay raise is going to GREATLY help my cause in getting my NEW CAR!!!!  Oh my gosh, I'm so excited I could throw up!!!  :) :)

So, with that...I'm off to check out the local car dealerships stock!!  Mwahaha!!



xoxo,
Me
