New Changes
It's official. Mary Jo finally convinced me to listen to her pitch for me to work with her. After a couple of months of wooing and me bringin my guard down a bit, I have agreed to work with her at Ultramar Travel Management. I will be going back to the world of Event Planning. I'm really looking forward to this big change in my life.
On the flip side of this, I wasn't actually looking to leave my current job. So, for all of you that thought that I was in a good place, I was. But this is an opportunity that I just can't turn down. I will be working with someone that I know, trust and like. The position is a substantial promotion from my current position. The salary is also a big leap. And to make things even more interesting, after a bit of getting into the swing of the job and the company, I will be working from home primarily.
I haven't yet given my notice for my current position, due to the fact that everyone that I could tell in an official capacity has been out of the office for the past week. And the big boss isn't even in this hemisphere. I should be able to talk to them on Monday or at least someone. I will be staying there at least until Thanksgiving. Since that is the tail end of the busy season, and it's 4 weeks from now, I think it's more than generous.
I have already talked to the others that do what I do. The three of us have been talking about how things could change as well as me giving them a heads up on the projects that I may still have hanging out there by then.
But to be honest, I have been feeling a bit weird about keeping all of this stuff to myself and not being hoenst to my colleagues. In fact when I was talking to a friend about this change the other day, she pointed out that I don't sound very excited about this. I realized that I'm not letting myself get excited in case it starts to ooze out in an inappropriate place before I can tell the right people.
But back to more changes, between my crazy landlady (who calls me constantly to tell me that she calls and not why), my lease being up at the end of the year, the new job with better money and the need for space at home in which I can work, I am going to look for a new apartment for the holidays. I'm hoping that with the holidays taking up the time of most renters, I might be able to get a good deal. So I'm taking any leads I can get for apartments that might be available December or January.
