Cha Cha Cha Changes



I've been surrounded by emotional land mines this week. Packing up my apartment and preparing to move, I have become insanely jealous that the ex managed to leave me with everything from our past.

If I have to see one more photo...

But then I remind myself that I would rather shoulder the full burden then have none and I can breathe a little easier.

At the same time I am packing my apartment I am also packing up my office. I got the dream job, they called about two weeks later to tell me they had another opening on the medical practice side. I have waited for almost two months on pins and needles while they moved through the internal applicant process.

I got the call on the way home from Alpine Valley. It has been a week of utter disbelief.

I will be working from home and my region will be Massachutes to Maine. The company seems incredible, my new boss fabulous, and the pay wonderful.

But it has been bittersweet, lots of tears shed with my current boss. Our CEO grabbing me today during a starbucks run and telling me that I am respected and well liked and will be missed, and not to sound big headed, but in a company of 10,000 employees, that feels really nice. My boss's boss calling me today to tell me that everyone is worried because I do so much and it will be impossible for one person to replace me. I will miss this place, and it is just all happening so fast.

In 10 days I will driving to Indiana for two weeks of hotel living, orientation and meeting my new team.

I have been demanding change and it appears I got it, so I think it's best to shut up and love it.
