Job update

Almost a month ago, I found out that the whole pain clinic thing was not looking like it was going to turn into a full-time position.  So I updated my boss and expressed my serious frustration with everything. She told me to "hang in there" and that she would give me a good recommendation if something came up. So I waited. About 3 weeks ago, she called me and told me about a job that was getting ready to open. The lady had just handed in her resignation letter. The very next day I found out that she withdrew her resignation. ::Sigh:: Okay. "Hang in there. Something else will turn up." says my boss.

A couple of days later, she tells me about another position that is available. I printed off the paperwork, filled it out, turned it in and expected to hear nothing. On Wednesday (just before Thanksgiving) I got a phone call from work and they wanted to schedule an interview for Monday (today)! Hooray! I had my interview today at 1pm but I seriously wasn't planning on anything to come of it because that's the way it's been going lately with all of this job crap. I swear to all that is holy, my phone rang at 3:30 pm and they were offering me a job!

So, here are the details. It's Mon-Fri, 8-4:30, rotate every 3rd weekend on-call, no holidays, it is slightly less money (but seriously only $0.50/hr less), you get paid to be on-call (even if you don't get called in). One of the big downsides about it is I have to pay back almost $2000 in a sign-on bonus when I took this ICU job. But, they will take little bits out of my paycheck instead of making me pay the entire amount up front. Another down side? I won't be working with my friends on night shift anymore.
 
I haven't said anything to anybody yet because I feel like the more I put things out in the universe, the more obstacles I face.  So I wanted to wait until I was offered the job before I said anything to anybody.  Seriously.  Mom didn't even find out until this afternoon around 4pm.  Greg knew because we needed to talk about the money situation, etc. (and because he's my husband and that's not generally the type of thing I keep from him) and my best friend knew because we ended up hanging out today and she helped me pick out my outfit.
 
I'm supposed to find out Tuesday morning exactly when my last day in the ICU will be so I'm anxiously awaiting to hear back about that.  A funny little sidenote: my current manager is married to my new manager and rumor is (from the husband and my new manager) is that they were going to have to duke it out over me.  Yay!
