Interview/Mortgage/Tree Update

February 25th, 2013 at 09:27 pm

I heard back on my interview that I had last week. My salary is about $10K more than they are willing to pay for an admin position. The HR lady said that they will keep me in mind on other positions that would be a better fit.

This is still great news because while I was interviewing with the two VP's seperately they both thought that I would be better suited for a scheduling position (scheduling natural gas). The hiring VP told me that they had 3 scheduler positions open. So since they were the ones to reach out to me I will sit tight.

Since the begining of the year I've dropped my mortgage down from $110,207.95 to $108,579.95. That's pretty good progress for two months! The thing that irritates me is that when I make and additional payment towards the principle it gets applied toward the blanace and they keep extending my payment due month. I have to call and have them issue a credit back and apply it properly. It's an ordeal! I definately have to stay on top of it.

I bought a tree yesterday! One of my goals was to purchase 2 fruit trees for my back yard. I was aiming for two trees at $20/each. Instead I ended up getting one tree for $42. My daughters have been eating alot of "Cuties" lately so I bought a Clementine tree. It should start producing fruit in October!

Other than that I am trying to plan things out that we will do on Spring Break and look into a new cellphone plan for my daughter. Right now I pay $45/mth but I saw something over the weekend and I'm hoping to get it down to $19/mth.

    Sounds like the interview was a very positive in spite of discovering the salary was significantly less than your current position. I suggest sending the interviewers Thank You notes and asking that your name and resume be forwarded for consideration for one of the three 'scheduler' positions mentioned.

    Yahoo for progress on mortgage principal. Does your mortgage have specific requirements for paying the principal as opposed to pre-paying the mortgage? Some mortgages require payments specifically directed to the principle be identified; some contracts only accept payments to principal on anniversary dates for example.
