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!
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
....and i hope to enjoy embracing my organizational/anal'retentiveness for the job...hahaha.
so hell yea.....LIFE IS GOOD!!!
:cool:

im having an up and up spurt as well. when life is good, its damn good.
enjoy every moment!!!
and say hi to eddie for me
HAVE A BLAST AND IM SUR E YOU WILL GET MAN OF THE HOUR
So glad for you!! Congrats!! That is amazing news.. amazing. Good things come to those who wait. WOW I am so happy for you. After you get back I want to hear all ABOUT your trip and see some pics. You take care.

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.
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!

yea, it's a done deal....the job is most definitely mine! still have to get all the paperwork straightened out, etc...but yea, got my official offer on monday. so psyched, an even better offer than i initially anitcipated, unbelievable....fantastic compensation package all the way around! bout time!
i'll be starting july 30th, a full week of orientation...sounds like i even may go to georgia? for one day for somethin', haha, don't remember fully all the recruiter told me, but i'll find out soon enough. so i won't actually start training for my 'real' position until first full week in august, and then i'll see how it all goes. hope i like it!
today i give in my notice with my current employer. i hate doing that, but eh well...gotta be done. i am just glad i can give a full 2 weeks notice, was afraid i might not've been able to...and i can take a week inbetween to get my own shit together, wardrobe, etc......very cool. my manager hasn't been in since i've been back from europe until today. she's been great to me, but yea, i need to make way more! so wish me luck today! hahaha!
and yes, europe was fuckin' BRILLIANT, all of it! eventually when i get all my shite together, i'll upload/organize all my pics on the computer and will be sure to share! i have some fantastic pics of everything...and dusseldorf was right in front of mikey/jeff...so amazing pics!
