I can has job!!

I have accepted a position as the administrative assistant/office manager at Good Steward Building Management in Chicago, starting Monday.   GSBM specializes in condo buildings of 20-100 units. 

It was started by the guy and his wife out of their home, but they have grown to the point where they need a real office, and she wants to stay home with the kids more, and their current p/t assistant is moving out of state.  The signs just went up at the office, the phone and networking wiring was being laid yesterday and today.

Basically, they were looking for a me.  They need someone to run the office, do AP/AR, file all the paper trails, deal with condo boards, take work orders, handle the ramp-up to the new web portal software, and generally do pretty much everything I've done before - just on a Mac instead of a PC.

It starts out at only 32 hours a week but is anticipated to go full-time with medical after 4 months.  Not too thrilled about that, but they had originally planned a much longer ramp-up period.  I had expressed my concerns about medical at the interview, and they basically met me halfway so I can't complain too much.  I'll be working M-Th generally 9-5.

Honestly, I'm just looking forward to getting off the couch, and this should allow me to get some bills paid and get the bankruptcy case funded and started relatively soon.

Brilliant! It's a shame it didn't come in time to save you from the bancruptsy stuff. I still have fingers crossed you you don't lose your apartment over it.

The mortgage is only half a month behind and will be paid by the time I file.
Since they have been paid all along, they are unlikely to file suit for the place - banks want money, not property.
They may ask me to sign a re-affirmation that I owe, but the lawyer will work with me about that.
