Happy Birthday To Me...

So it’s the big day for me today – the big 2-7. Woohoo! I’ve gotten a b-day call from my mom, and cards from the hubby as well as from my co-workers.

The best part of the day so far – my husband got me an iPod mini for my birthday!!

YAAAY!!!!!

*Happy Happy Joy Joy Happy Happy Joy Joy!*

Can you tell I’m really happy???

So that’s not the only good news – well – sort of. :P

I got the job!!!

Which is good and sad. Good because it’s a great opportunity for me. I get to work in the city, which opens up a number of other doors for me. It is more money for me, and gives me a chance to use my MBA for things that are more “my level” or at least that will let me work to get there.

Sad, because this is the first time I’ve had a position for more than a year, stayed in the SAME position for more than a year, and truly enjoyed the group that I work with. With the exception of the Brit, who left in June (nothing against Brits, it’s just easier to refer to her that way). She was the only one who was a pain in my ass. Otherwise, everyone else is a joy to work with, to see everyday. We have so much fun in this group. We work hard, but we goof around a lot, too. It’s mostly women so we’ll go shopping on our lunch hour or go to a nearby deli for food, go out for lunch – it’s just a lot of fun.

But again, at the same time, I’m excited about moving to this new position because it’s all young people (although my group now is, too), and we’re all eager beavers – excited about coming to work, making a difference, interacting with each other and with clients. I think it’s going to be very different from what I’m used to, but I’m really excited about the challenges that I will face in the upcoming weeks. It’s going to be a real chance for me to prove my worth, see if I can really live up to these expectations. My reputation has preceeded me. I just hope I can live up to the high hopes that they all have for me.

No pressure or anything…
