A new job

I graduated college...a BS in ME. Exciting stuff...now what? I expected a raise when I had my review at my current job. I had a stellar review...above average and excellent marks on everything. So I did get a raise, a raise like a person who just got a stellar review would get. What about my DEGREE? I realize it's just a piece of paper, but it symbolizes something. Anyway...as you can guess, I was pretty pissed. Getting paid around 1/2 what you expect, receiving dismal benefits (and none for you wife), and working in a beat up warehouse all kind of added up over the last 9 months.

So I got a NEW job. I interviewed with a couple companies while still working at my current job and decided to go to IGT. They offered me - and Brenna - benefits at low cost to us, the right salary for my degree, and a mucho cool building with a workout center and a cafeteria! Super cool.

I think the scariest/least fun thing I had to do was to turn in my letter of resignation on Thursday...that was a weird experience. Dont most people go through this kind of stuff at 30? So, I start on Feb 20...thanks for all you prayers!
