I may be movin' on

The guys have gone fishing and J is still asleep. I'm sitting here reading blogs and trying to think of something to say.

Had an interesting week... on Wednesday I got a phone call from a woman wanting to interview me for a new position within the company. I was pretty excited since this came out of the blue. A few months ago I interviewed for a job that fell through. It seems those folks liked me -- they really liked me! -- and kept my resume. Well, when this position opened up they gave my resume to the woman that called me...

Anyway - had the official interview on Friday and it was great! I really think I have it. It is a promotion, but with no direct reports - thank heavens. I will have a LOT more responsibility so now I am hoping I didn't oversell my abilities. :) It will be a challenge, but I'm looking forward to doing this work. It is everything I love about what I do -- graphics work, building websites, creating newsletters... oooooh... I hope it is mine!

I had to tell my boss and his boss on Friday before I left. They took it very well - as they should- because what I do right now is BORING and I need to move on. I work on a presentation about once every two weeks and create a poster once a month. In between I am searching for something to do. Trust me, I enjoy sitting at my desk reading blogs all day, but I need to feel like I am earning my keep. Know what I mean? I am waiting on the day my boss calls me in his office to fire me for blogging and internet surfing... I may be exaggerating a bit... maybe.

Carl is already spending my promotion money. Heck, he is even talking about retiring. I told him I just want to enjoy having the extra cash. My plan is to take whatever extra pay I get and apply it to bills. I would LOVE to be debt free and then enjoy all the extra. That would be awesome. I just have to convince Carl that now is not the right time to leave his job and open a franchise... or buy a new truck...

I don't have the job yet and I hope I'm not jinxing it by writing about it. This is going to be a HUGE opportunity for me with high visibility to the big muckety-mucks of the company - I'm talking the CEO and owners, baby. I hope I can sleep the next couple of nights. I was told I would hear something on Wednesday.... hmmm.... my fingers are crossed!
