"R" day

This is it!

About 4 weeks ago, the process started. I had a phone interview, and then scheduled an office interview in the same week for a new position, new company. Then about 3 weeks ago, I got a call saying they were going to start checking my references. 2 weeks ago I checked with my references and they started getting phone calls. Just after that I got a phone call that the references checked out really well and they wanted me in the office again to meet someone new. That was a week ago tomorrow. They told me at that point they expected to have everything set by early this week and be able to give me a call.

On Thursday afternoon last week, I got a phone call. I called back after work and was offered the job position. I asked to have a couple of days to think about it, talk to my husband, etc and call them back on Monday.

Today is Monday.

Today is the day where for the first time in 7 years, I'm going to accept a new job offer, and hand in my resignation; it is R-day.

I'm a little nervous, not scared, tho. I'll give 2 weeks notice, because that's nice, and then I'll start learning something really entirely different. I'm mostly excited. I have been feeling quite done where I am for a number of reasons and it's good to feel like I'm moving on. I will have to purchase probably at least a new outfit or two, I haven't worn business casual to work in over a year now. I also did find out that between Memorial Day and Labor day my Fridays will end at 1pm, which is pretty cool. Other than that, I'm excited to be doing something new. I've had the same job since graduating college, and that was kind of a long time ago.

Oh, and they need people who speak spanish, sounds like I'll get quite a bit of practice, so that's SUPER bonus for me, tho I'll have to learn all new vocabulary. Who doesn't love that?
