About three years ago I was let go from one job and on the hunt for work. Now I look at it as a blessing but at the time, it was not!! I definitely wanted to work. I filled out plenty of online applications, offline applications and had a few interviews. I lucked out getting an interview in a really small law firm. He took a chance on little ol' me and hired me. I am still working for him now.
My boss has been absolutely awesome. He has worked with me on letting me have the time off for surgery, holding my job and letting me ease back into work. I am sure that was not easy for him to do. Especially since he and another attorney decided to merge their firms about six months before my surgery and diagnosis. He has been very patient!!
I really could not have asked for a better work place, either. The people I now work with let me work as I need and do not try to "baby" me or pity me in any way. I try my best to work hard there but also have a great smile while there. I like a fun work environment when it is able to happen!! I am just glad that these guys and gals have seen past that I have cancer and made me feel normal and a part of the team.
I always wanted to work with such awesome people. So glad to know it still can be done!!
I am not sure they will ever see this post but I am very thankful for a job I actually look forward to going to every day and people who I like working with. I so wanted a job like that!! Lucky me!!
