Ok, here it goes!!
I am going to the Clerk and Master's office for Hamilton County. This is a good job with good benefits and after a meeting today with my new boss, I can say I am excited and happy about this opportunity. I will be in the Probate division (which does Estates) and I will be doing accountings (I am not a numbers person so PRAY-really it is just adding and subtracting but still) but, my new boss said he thinks my background fits this division and since Jeff is the Probate Judge then I will still be working with him to a certain degree.
I will have 12 paid personal days a year, after 6 months I will have 1 week paid vacation, then after 1 year it goes to 2 weeks vacation, 5 years goes for 3 weeks, and 10 goes to 4. I will have 11 paid holidays- I can also go in at 8:30, take an hour lunch and I will get off at 4:30 (Some know I was concerned that I would have to be there at 8 and have to pay more in child care and have a hectic morning schedule with the kids) I will also have an hour for lunch. Really, this is better hours too!
Our whole family will have health insurance for a very reasonable price a month...around $50.00 a month for all 5 of us! This is very big, as Jon has gone without health insurance since he worked at AAA Glass in Fort Worth.
I will also get more going into retirement each year and they will pay my parking ($660.00 a year) --which my employer currently pays, but if I had to take it over it would have been a huge expense.
I will also be making more so with the raise and benefits it will be very close to a $15,000.00 raise a year.
One other perk...the county is one of the first things to "shut down" for inclement weather, so if the kids' school is out due to snow etc, I will have off and it doesn't count against my vacation/personal days. SO...after 6 months I will have 17 paid days off a year, plus 11 paid holidays...and after a year it will go to 22 paid days off and 11 paid holidays! I am excited about this opportunity and thank the Lord for it! Thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers during the last few weeks...ALSO, in the past 24 hours All Glass and Mirror has had 3 calls-so Praise God again!
