A Fresh Start

I just sent my official resignation/transfer letter to my boss. YIPPEE!!!!

On Monday, I was officially offered a promotion to a Faculty Assistant position in the Biological Sciences division on campus. This is a promotion, and I'll be working with some people that I'm already friendly with. I'll be part of a group of FAs who can show me the ropes, with official support and structure for education and development. And I'll be on campus, and have greater responsibility and less supervision. I'm so happy about this.

The one downside is that I will no longer be in Hillcrest, which was quite convenient for social outings during and after work. But that is far out-weighed by the fact that this is a significant move in the direction I want to go in.

My first day working on campus is December 1st. Woohoo!

Today is Friday! Life is pretty damn good. S and I had a couple of rough days, but she seems to accept that we've broken up and we're being friendly again. I'm so grateful to everyone who has been there for me this week.

My work rocks! They think I'm awesome, and I feel like I'm doing something useful. My supervisor is impressed with me in general, and she and my boss want to help me move forward in my career once I get my feet under me here.

The less fun part is that I have some business that needs to be taken care of, like dealing with the woman who backed into my parked car last weekend, and some payments for stuff that I let slide.

But for the most part, life is good, and I feel like I'm on the right path. And it's good to be back on livejournal!
