man, as the saying goes..when it rains it pours...whether good or bad. thankfully, finally, it's been ALL good!


tomorrow, off to london and then 2 bliss-filled weeks in europe filled with friends, travel and live pearl jam, 3x!


more importantly, personally, life has been on a major upswing at home....some issues *resolved*....lots of positives in the works, and 'celebrated' a week early, 15 years of marriage, a very desired and hard-won anniversary!

to just make everything that much better, as many know i left my teaching career 2 years ago, looking for new direction, blah, blah. well, today i got a follow-up call from an interview on june 1st...basically saying i have the job if i want it, a job offer will be awaiting my return from europe, a whole package waiting my approval/negoatiation! :D:D:D seriously, just amazing! completely outside my field or experience, a real job for 'the man' in the corporate world, huge international client service/accountancy company, US HQ in NYC.

funny how it all works, it IS all 'who you know'...heard of the job, by chance, a friend of a friend...guy that my husband works with, his sister passed along my resume, gave my name a push, and then i got interviewed by 4 partners/directors....truly well-liked, impressed em even being totally outside my field. i KNOW i'd not have even been considered/interviewed if not for her...so wow! i hope i like it, complete change for me...but yea, for once in my life..i am going for the fat paycheck, and i'll save my artistic creativity for my own time/work :p....and i hope to enjoy embracing my organizational/anal'retentiveness for the job...hahaha.


so hell yea.....LIFE IS GOOD!!!
:cool:
Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...


I am myself like you somehow

    YEA!!! thanks!
    i am so truly happy!
    in all honesty, this is by no means a 'dream job'....but yea, it is a dream opportunity, and given all i have gone through, worked my arse off career-wise in work that yes i loved, but yea...not much personally to show for it...and sucked up all my creativity. so yes, i do believe this position will appeal to other skills and interests, and save the rest of me...for me...oputside the job. it IS a fantastic company, brilliant compensation, posh NYC location...i think i'll like it. :) whatthefuckever, for once, i will be well paid! hahaha. i'm getting old, so yea...bout time. ;)

    i REALLY thought i'd be leaving w/o knowing, so it was AWESOME to get a cal today from recruitment, AND an e-mail from one of the partners. will be wonderful to come home to all this change/excitment....if all works out, i will more than likely start july 30th, so still plenty of time to give notice/professional counrtesy to my current employer...who i adore, but yea...the pay will never be up to par. so sure...time to move on!

    happiness on all fronts! always more to work on personally, and lots of change/challenge on the horizon...but hell yes......


    and in this moment, i am HAPPY! :D
    Stay with me...

    Being "dreamy" has its privileges--and its just desserts. In the interest of preventing ever more well-intentioned redundancy, is there another word for expressing congratulations? If such a term exists, it escapes me at the moment, so I suppose "You rock!" will have to do. Best wishes as you begin this new chapter of your life.
