Decided

[loracs]

I took the job. I spoke with my current boss this morning. He was appropriately sad to lose me, but happy for my advancement. In fact, since it was his idea in the first place for me to get qualified for an Admin. Assit. position, he turned it all around and said he, from a managerial p.o.v, was successful because he helped me move up.

Telling the other co-workers was hard, esp. T. We were interrupted before we had a chance to talk very much. And as she said, before she had a chance to cry. I used lots of kleenex today.

I called my new boss, asked a few questions and then accepted the position. They wanted me in 2 weeks, but I asked for 4 and she gave it to me. I start on Dec. 4. I now go from being a "big fish in a little pond" to a "little fish in a big pond."

Mazel Tov.

I know it was hard, but I am glad, I think it is for the best, for all the reasons we discussed. You and T. will be able to stay close, and you can pitch in and help on some special projects.

this is actually very exciting (hard for you to see right now, as exhausted as you are, I'm sure).

What took you so long - a whole 3 minutes to respond to my post! Thanks for the advice.

well, I had to type it, click on "post comment" and then there's the refresh rate.

I now go from being a "big fish in a little pond" to a "little fish in a big pond."

That's called "growing room." Goldfish grow to the limits of what their habitats can support, then stop. Put them in a bigger tank, and they start growing again.

Here's to lots of room to swim! :)

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind, esp. if I start having growing pains!

Oh, I'm wishing you all the happy swimming possible.

And if there's ANY way I can make these next several weeks easier for you, please do call on me.

Thanks for the offer. Between helping with the transition at Studio, getting dbubley's house in order, getting her home, getting all her retirement paper work together AND getting the house decorated - it will be a fun (and fast) 4 weeks.

These kind of decisions are so hard. It sounded like an excellent opportunity and look forward to hearing all about it. :)

I should enjoy it. I'll go from working with a bunch of artists (which I like) to working with 75 IT geeks, which I'm also quite sure I'll like. ;-)

I could see enjoying that. :)

I know the leaving will be hard but I am so in hopes that you enjoy your new job. I think it will be good for you. The new office will be lucky to have you!

This is so good! I think you're going to be happy, and I think you and stonebender are going to see more of each other, especially awake.
