Last week recap...good times!!!

Tuesday - Had an interview with the Utah Dept of Insurance. I had received a call from the Dept of Insurance the previous Friday wanting me to come in for an interview. I had applied for this job a few weeks prior, and honestly thought I had no chance on evening landing an interview. Don't get me wrong...I have plenty of experience in the insurance industry, and I was able to answer every application question exceptionally, but in my mind I figured that since I had applied for about a dozen or so other state jobs, and have been on the job hunt for quite some time, I just wouldn't actually stand a chance. Well folks, I got an interview! And, it went pretty well.

Wednesday - While not trying to get my hopes up about landing the above mentioned position, I received a phone call from the body shop where I had taken my car a week earlier for repair of my damages (see previous post). And, I might update that I was able to get my car taken care of with no expense coming out of my pocket! The other insurance company accepted full liability and everything was turning out great! I was given a cute little Mazda to drive and everyone and everything was so nice. Anyway, I got a call that my car was all finished and ready to be picked up. I went on my lunch break and picked up my cute little car...it looked so nice. Thanks to Central Collision for making everything look perfect! And to top it off, they even detailed it. I am quite certain that my car was cleaner at that very moment, than when I had purchased it from Carmax. Awesome!!!

Friday - Work started out extremely slow. You see, my bosses were out all week so it was just me holding down the fort, and by close of business on Thursday I had completed all necessary tasks and by 10:30 on Friday, was completely done with all work needing my attention (i.e. emails, voicemails, etc). I could just tell that the only positive coming out of this day was the fact that it was Friday and each hour was moving me closer to the coming weekend. I spent the remainder of the morning browsing the internet, checking my emails and playing my new favorite game on my phone, Temple Run. I took my lunch at the usual time and returned to work to continue my fun and answering the occasional incoming phone call. Then 3:30 hit....2 hours left of my day and my cell phone rings. It's the Dept of Insurance and they would like to offer me the position. Wait, what??? You want me??? Really?? I was so excited, so of course I accepted the position and will be starting on March 5th! I will finally be in a position with benefits, growth opportunity, and something I can consider more of a career than just another dead end CSR job. I know this will be an awesome opportunity, and who wouldn't love to report the the State Capitol everyday, right???

I must say, this week has been by far one of the better weeks I have had in a very very very long time. I am excited for my new adventure. Not so excited to have to go in on Monday to inform my bosses that I am leaving in 2 weeks, but definitely excited to be starting something bigger and better!
