Changes?

I have a second interview today. Something just came up out of the blue and I feel like I have to go for it. Recently one of my former bosses quit our company and went to work for another one. He told me he would steal me if something came up. But knowing that he'll most likely be taking a position in another state with this new company soon, I didn't really think much of it. Well, he sent me a text the other day telling me that one of the local locations had a full time position and would I be interested, oh and by the way, the position starts at $100/week more than you are making after nearly 5 years with your current company. And there's potential for promotion, unlike with the current company. I'm at a dead end where I am at right now, and frustrated with the lack of incentive to stay.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, since I know there are people within the company that are after the same spot, and J is new with that company, so I don't know how much weight his opinion holds. But I think the second interview is a positive sign. We'll see. And it doesn't hurt anything to try.

Meanwhile, my current company is falling apart around me. Not my location so much, but my hubby's. It is in major turmoil. No one is happy with the new boss. He totally took credit for everyone's hard work and a bunch of things that were already in place before he even started with the company. There are maybe three people at his location that are actually doing their jobs, the rest just feel entitled to a paycheck for doing nothing. And one of the three is about to turn in his notice. I told my hubby that he needs to stop working so damned hard because everyone is taking advantage. He's doing stuff that isn't in his job description, which is leaving what he's supposed to be doing undone. I wish now that I had never recommended him for the job. He was almost better off at Wal-Hell, even working overnights :(

For me.

It's been a long winter. Mentally, I feel even worse off than I was before, though things are finally looking up. I abandoned the gym. I...
