NEW JOB!
Apparently this is a good week for gettin’ in where ya fit in. First Devon, then dearheart, now me!
I’ve had this particular iron in the fire for quite a few months, and now the details are all finalized. Start date: June 1.
Without giving away the employer, I’m going to be working for a sports organization, coordinating equipment & coaching, the “new athlete to this sport” program, the “corporate teambuilding through this sport” program, and other random things as they come up. Anyone wanna suggest an obscure sport or activity that I can use as a reference for cryptoblogging? How ’bout a contest - the entry I decide to use, gets a prize of some sort. I’d totally use Astronauting, but that’s already taken.
The new job location is fabulous and gorgeous, the work is interesting and challenging, and so far all the people I’ve met that I’ll be working with are fabulous.
I’m SO FREAKIN’ EXCITED!

YAY you! Congratulations, I hope it’s *exactly* what you want it to be. They’re lucky to have you?

windsurfing!

Congratulations, peechie. It was clear that you weren’t happy in the old job, so this is especially good news!

YAY FOR YOU! That is awesome news, and much better than getting branded!
Suggestions for a coy work title: Ballerina, Fireman, Princess? Basically I chose “Astronaut” because it’s what I wanted to be when I grew up - since space isn’t really in the cards for me (yet), I can just use my imagination and pretend I’m floating in Zero Gs as I wade through this corporate bullshit!

LOL, Col. I was scratching my head myself, but thought I’d just leave it alone because obviously you had a point to make.
hahaha.
So, J, how did giving your notice go??
May 13th, 2005 at 4:41 pm
I suggest actually using the sport name because NO ONE would think that you were doing that after all the kerfuffle.
And CONGRATS!!!
