Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Or should I say Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!
This Tết has been full of luck for me already!
First off, I had requested the day off of work because you really don't want to work on Tết, unless you have your own business and even then you only open for your luckiest customers. When I worked at AT&T my manager was always sympathetic to giving me the day of Tết off... and sympathetic to about 5 other employees... and also herself. So it was easy to request off the day and have her understand the importance. My current employer... not so much.
I request off Tết and was sad to see that I was scheduled to work. I didn't want to complain too much so I just took the request status as denied, but when I got into work I found that the schedule had been changed and I was given the day off! Happy-Happy, Joy-Joy!
I left work and headed back home. I was still on my way back to my home when the phone rang. The new employer I had interviewed with almost 3 weeks ago wanted to offer me the position I wanted! At the pay I wanted! With the benefits I wanted! WHAT?! Chúc Mừng Năm Mới, indeed!
