Ugh, I have had a headache since about 2 am and feel sort of nauseous. Just the fun of this months PMS. At least I don't feel bitchy and mean and nasty like last month. The meds are working.
Yesterday, my manager called to tell me that she got some answers about my band level, but she wasn't able to tell much more except that I should be a band 35 and that on Monday I will be presented with some options. I'm curious about the options. She said a would have more options, optionS, plural. I'm guessing one of the options is to stay at the company. I wonder though, if I would keep my current position or if they would find a "comparable" position. I don't really know what other options there would be. My meeting is at 8:00 am Monday. I hope that I am given some time to decide. If I'm offered the chance to keep my job or still take severance, then I have some decision making to do.
I applied for a job yesterday with another company. A friend of mine works there and loves it. I mentioned her name in my cover letter and she said she would talk to HR. I'm not sure what pull she might have since she has only been there a couple months. I'm also not sure the job is really what I would want. The job description had some good things but also some things that made it sound sort of administrative type work. And the company is in St Paul. Not really convenient for me. But it's a smaller company, which I like. I would know someone there and if they paid the same or better, I might take it if it were offered.
On an exciting note, Lisa passed her boards so she is now an RN. I'm happy for her. I hope she finds a job quickly so she can quit her current job.
