New job!

Slight disclaimer.....I wrote this awhile ago before everything in my life turned upside down then left to right. 

After being at a job that I was grateful for, but at the same time knew was totally making me stupid. It was simple and there was no room for advancement. It was so bad that it didnt even have to come to work and no one would even notice.  I knew I had to find a way out. So following Christmas/New Years break quite a few jobs had opened up around campus. At the beginning of this year within a two week period I had three interviews lined up...THREE! I felt immensely lucky to have the opportunity to interview for three departments on campus. So after scheduling the interviews I get a call back from one of them, they said they cant hire me because there isn't any space in the budget. Bummer. So that leaves two interviews. And they so happen to be on the same day, back to back! Thankfully in two buildings right next to one another. The first one goes OK a little disconnected but overall OK. I felt they were not really feeling me. The second one on the otherhand couldnt have gone better. I was interviewed by three people and we connected instantly. It was a great feeling and I immediately fell in love with the program. I hoped that I got it.

So fast forward to a month later, I get a letter from the first place and they reject me. meh. I'm OK with that. So now its time to wait on the second one. I don't hear back from them for a while. Actually I hear from HR, they want to know if they can check with my boss for a reference. I get excited because I know this means I;m almost in. On the otherhand I also become scared, I now have to tell my boss that they need to speak to her!! Eeek! She actually is pretty receptive and understanding! Awesome!

So fast forward to another week and i get the call that I have been waiting for its the HR department and I immediately start crying because I know that this will change my life. And it has, I love my department and the students in it. I couldn't be any happier.
