Everyone wish me luck

Our medical insurance beginning the new plan year in July is absolutely horrendous and very expensive, they moved us to a new High Deductible Health Plan or a Coverage First PPO both with high premiums and extremely high deductibles. It's absolutely awful. My manager is a raving lunatic and she makes me I hate answering phones all day, the associates that I talk to on a daily basis are rude, dumb, and blatantly disrespectful to us in this department. They call about short paychecks and what not and 95% of the time it's their fault because they filled out their timesheet incorrectly or something. We didn't get our raises when we were supposed to and I am just really dissatisfied with this place. Granted, I've been here less than one year but I have no desire to work for a company that runs this way, they do not do any empowering of their employees and they constantly micro manage you!

So, I applied for a position with our City water Company a couple weeks ago. Well I got a call back yesterday afternoon. I contacted the lady back this morning and I have an interview at 2:30 on Thursday for an Administrative Assistant position. The starting salary is $10-15k above what I make now, the city employee's benefits are absolutely wonderful and cheap, not to mention I would have retirement there and 401k, not just an iffy 401k like I do here. I could retire at 54 I would be an administrative assistant to HR Personnel so I would still be dealing in HR, but I wouldn't have to answer the phones at all!!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE! Wish me luck guys! Cross your fingers for me! I need this job!

ETA: I forgot to add that this goes more along the lines of what my business degree should be used for. I just got it so I might as well put it to use!

Hope you get the job that you want! Health insurance is just plain ridiculous these days!

My2Beauties replied:
Tell me about it, I would probably save $150 or more a month in healthcare!

Celestrina replied: Good luck! I hope things go the way you planned.

My2Beauties replied: Editing that first post - I would retire at 44, it's 20 years and then I'm outta there! Whoo! Sounds even better! I just found this out from two people who have known people to retire from there and that currently work there! OMG the things I could do if I retired at 44! Wow!

Sunflower04 replied: Good luck to you. I know looking for a new job is tough but I think it is great that you are going that extra mile to look. I know with my job I have been here for 5 yr and I am also a secretary for a financial company and the benefits are high and pay is low. I am just comfortable with my surrounding. Thank goodness my hubbie works for the state and benefits are paid 100%. Keep us posted.
