Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't been around much. I had a crazy few weeks with school, sports, a conference I had to attend and my mom up for week.
Bad news is that I spent a TON of money and will have to temporarily increase the debt until I get my back pay (I am going to sign up for the full Grooming course which will take me a year parttime - the one I am taking now is a pre-requisite and I LOVE it, but will not be enough for me to get certified). I can repay that money with my backpay (whenever it comes in!)
But on the great news front . . . I GOT THE JOB!! I interviewed for it last month and was offered the job last week. I am in the process of getting them all the paperwork (and it still could fall through because in the government nothing is set in stone until you are actually at your new desk!!) My tentative start date is May 4!!! It should make a difference of about $200 a pay check! I am so excited!!
Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly!

Congrads!! The government does move pretty slow, but good for you!
Oh very nice. Congrats!! Glad you are enjoying your class and I hope you get as many clients as you can keep up with.
Thanks for your kind wishes everyone! I have my fingers crossed everything goes through. I have given notice so its just a matter of timing I guess.
The bad news is that the government is really bad at updating pays in a timely fashion, lol. I expect I won't see the raise on my check for at least a month or two after I start. I guess the good news is that when it does come in, I will get a good chunk of money at once (forced savings?)
