[Two] Weeks Notice

So I gave my two weeks notice at the job I am currently working. I have been working through a temp-agency for what will be 2 full years in the beginning of February.

It was a bit hard to tell them, but I need to do what's best for me. I need to find a position that am I able to work with an actual company, benefits and all.

They have been such a blast to work with. Yes that's right 9 women in all one department. We get along so great together! There's never a day where we aren't laughing at something, or sharing a new recipe.

Here's hoping I find a full-time position soon. For right now, we are fortunate enough to survive off my husband's salary, granted I will need to pick up a part-time to help afford my car/student loan payments.

In time, I know it will all turn out, but for now I wanted to share some of the great moments with the ladies I work with:



Halloween 2010. We temporarily lived in a trailer when our department was being remodeled. 

So in turn, we were "Trailer Trash" :) Don't worry we made our own cigarettes and beers out of paper. Got to love working with all graphic designers!

Halloween 2011: Candy Land, it was epic. We won the company contest, hands down!

Had a 70's day theme during the summer for the company picnic.

An ugly sweater contest this past Christmas.

and Yes, we do plank garbage cans from time to time.

Great times, great memories. I will miss them all greatly.


**UPDATE: Turns out on last Friday, the rest of the department is being laid off. I'm not sure if it's just weird timing on my part, or I foresaw the future. I think it's the first. But I wish all my co-workers the best, and I hope they all find something soon as well! They deserve it!

  4. Hehe I was actually laughing out loud at the planking picture. Matt and I get such a kick out of people who plank lol. We chaperoned the middle school dances and last time we were there I was walking upstairs and stepped on a child who was planking on the stairs. HA! I totally get the contract thing. My husband has been on contracts for the past 2 1/2 years and it's hard. He gets benifits through the agency, but the unknown is scary. Once he's done with school...no. more. contracts. Good luck finding your next job : )
