Congratulations! It sounds to me as tho you made a good choice. I hope the co-workers quickly become a "work family" for you.

I was just thinking of you today. So you're back with SDM? That's good!! It's a job you're familiar with, and taking a courier job when you despise driving just doesn't make sense. That's like me taking a daycare job. I just wouldn't no matter the repercussions.

Congratulations to you on getting a job that you feel comfortable with! Nice to have employment that contributes to your quality of life.

Happy for you.

Congrats. Although I am many years retired I used to work as a temporary and discovered that there is no job that you do not need to have some new training. Stressful because you expect to just step into a similar position. Keep smiling as you learn new things but at the same time aim for a full time position either there or elsewhere. Retirement for women is difficult enough.

I told my husband I may never retire 100%. The thought of the boring life I've had the past 4 1/2 months, for the rest of my life is not what I want. A few days a week is just perfect.

Congratulations. Sounds like a good decision. i am quite sure you are well-qualified for the job, so who knows, maybe they will pay you more once you have trained and prove yourself in a few more months. It surely doesnt hurt to ask for an early raise if you feel under-paid at some point later.

Congratulations! Happy for you it is a job you will feel comfortable with

Sounds like you made a good choice that would work better for you. Hope you are happy in the new job.

Debby I was thinking of you as well. It sounds like you are landing on your feet! I'm so glad you have found the right choice! All the best going forward.

(Sorry about the case of disappearing words phenomenon.)

Congratulations!

Congratulations! The training on the new program is how you grow Learning will enhance your capabilities You definitely made the right choice

Congratulations, Debby! You strike me as a doer who needs to be working most of the time. I wish I had a fraction of your energy--I'm envious.

Congratulations! What you got sounds ideal to me. BTW, I also hate driving and have turned down jobs because of the commute time. Commuting in Los Angeles can be brutal, and I avoid the dreaded Sepulveda Pass at all costs - I could just never work in The Valley - at least not the San Fernando Valley, although I could work in the Coachella Valley if I wanted to moved permanently to Palm Springs.

I recently updated my resumé but have not submitted it to anyone, other than Indeed.com and getfurniturejobs.com, and so I'm not very proactive about it. I do not want more than part time work, and so that might be difficult, but I have plenty to do at home anyway. I have a lot of sewing projects to complete and hope to be able to sell what I make, but that is very much a gamble, I think. I do not consider myself a salesman, and I failed the first marketing test I took at university when I was getting my interior design degree. I blame the professor for this, as he should have taught us what an average consumer is like. I thought I was an average consumer, but later I learned (late in the class) that most people do not shop the way I do, and this is why I failed the first test.

I'm not sure what kind of work you are going to be doing, but I also would never work for a courier company. If I were young and could use my bike, it might be a different story. I did not like having to drive to various furniture vendors to do inspections, even though I used a company car and therefore did not have to pay for the gas.

When I was working, I bought gas about once a month, but my commute was 1.3 miles, and I could walk, if I had to. I didn't walk because I liked to go home for lunch.

Anyway, good luck with your new job, and I hope you get the hours that you want.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Good for you Debby. i was laid off April 3, 2020 from my office job. i have applied at hundreds of places. i only had 3 interviews,2 were for the same job and still nothing. i get recruiters calling me telling me how impress they are with my resume and how busy they are getting and still to this day, no job. thankfully i had my part time job at Safeway to fall back on and collecting Ei still. im afraid my age is a factor now, i just turned 59 last Saturday.
