New Job

Well... there will be more to come with this post... BUT... I got a new job. It's kind of crazy. I had this dream in December that I worked for Carol's sister in the Interior Design department for the church- not knowing there was an open position. I told Carol about the dream and conveniently I was approached about applying for the job and I pushed back. I love my current job, plus I thought it was a demotion for me. Well, after many fights I finally inquired about the job and turns out... it was a promotion for me. HOLY SMOKES!!! So... I went up to talk to the people in that group and I ended up in an interview, sort of against my will, but it happened. The people were so fun. There were 4 of them. After talking to them, I got so excited. I was so scared and nervous though because it happened so fast and it wasn't like I was out looking for a job. There were certain about my current situation I wanted to change, and I did want more work to do. I like to work under a little pressure, call me a masochist- I know. I just like to be busy and have a to do list that I can cross off. It's one of my hidden pleasures, crossing things off. I put stuff on my list so I can cross it off. Well anyway. I talked to Leland about applying for the position. Oh... I haven't even told you what it is. It's the Assistant to to the Temple Interior Designers. And anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE interior design, so it's a good fit for me. Anyway... I talked to Leland about applying for it. He told me that if it's something I wanted to do, he wouldn't hold me back, especially because it's a promotion, but that he really didn't want me to go. Well... I applied for it. I interviewed with the director between Christmas and NewYears. I was a little torn. I would have happy staying at my current job but would have loved Interior Design. Well a week and a half ago I got a phone call offering me the job. I didn't know what to do, especially because they added more to work load (I now support the great Jesse Baer) and there was another change which helped calm the workplace, so I was happy. Well, it was tough, they let me think/pray about it and get back with them. That is what I did. I was so torn. I seriously didn't know what to do. After many tears, prayers, pondering, reading scriptures, I finally got my answer. Of course when I told Jesse I cried- like a big freaking baby. But I'll only be three floors up from where I am now, and it will be fun to learn new things and work with something that I seriously love! But there are a lot of people that I will miss seeing/talking to everyday, and that makes me so so so sad. One of those people I just wrote off today (you know who you are). Anyway... I start on Monday and I am super excited, but super sad at the same time. In fact, I don't really think it's totally hit me that I won't be here everyday, at my desk on the 8th floor.
