The Development Department of the homeless and rehab shelter that I work for just offered me a permanent position with their organization. (I'm no longer a temp!) They made me an offer yesterday which includes a pay increase, benefits and sick pay. Best of all, I get 4 weeks of paid vacation. I'm very happy about that. WDW anyone?

Best of all, I find my job rewarding. I can actually see the positive results of my work before my very eyes with the guests. That motivates me incredibly well.

There are a lot of people rooting for you right now (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?t=2985).
I'm no psychic, but I do know that good things happen to good people like you. Your turn's coming.

I swear that the collective finger crossing has significant power. The LoT has a lot (ha!) of fingers crossing right now.

They made me an offer Friday and I made my counter offer today. We'll see what happens. They're meeting about it now. They seemed stunned by my counter offer, I may have shot myself in the foot. Oy. Oh well... we'll see.

That is fantastic. As the proud holder of two, sometimes three, part time jobs, I envy anyone who can go full time with a job they find rewarding that provides those all important bennies.

If you do head East, bring us Bitter East Coasters some See's chocolates. :)
