Most Positive Day In Months.......Had forgotten how good felt

So rarely happens, didn't want to forget to post it,

So a few weeks back I was job scared, freaking out, kids were not helping any and either was my husband.

Out of a list of 75 work at home agents my stats listed me as ranked 74.

This week due to changes, work at home agents have to bid for shifts. If you were in the top 15 you only had to pick 3 shifts and wait for the pick. Anyone under that had to bid for 15 different shifts and be prepared to work any of them in a week. I, being unaware of the shift bid due to days off, was extremely ecstatic to find the new list for the month of our rank, in my email---guess where I was--50th?? nope, 35th?? nope. Hell-20th nope. 14th!!!! 60 positions up. 60!!!! Up until last week I was still on notice that one failed call, one excuse for not being up to par and I was history.

Then I heard about shift bid, at the last minute my coach finally answered me as to why on the bid for available shifts my name was up top with about 12 other people, who had "special schedules" due to kids, hours, etc (mine was because 3 years ago when I went back to work I was unable to work more than 4 hours without having a nervous breakdown).

I get to keep my schedule, didn't have to bid, keep my benefits which take about 1/3 of my pay instead of 3/4(still really high co-pay but oh well) and moved my butt up from 74 and out of a job to 14 and not scared of getting a schedule i can't work.


Thanks to my friends at work, you all here(facebook), my kids and my husband. I already know exactly where I would be without you and I picked my butt up then too. (this just reminded me that today, oddly, I ended up telling a lady the "identity theft and mismatched fingerprint card and ten years to fix it" story----the 2 min. version that prompted her to stop feeling sorry for herself!)
