Update-y Stuff
How many of my entry titles in the past year have included the word "update"? That's a sad thing. It means I spend a lot of time on the fact I don't updage as much as I should. Anyway.
I start my new job a week from tomorrow. I don't know that I've mentioned it on here before, so I will now. It's with the same company, just a different branch. But I'm getting away from sales, and will be a supervisor on the operations side of things. It will be a challenge, but I'm very excited.
Speaking of jobs, Congratulations to Emily on your promotion, and Aarti on your new job! 'Twas a week of job-related goodness, apparently. *g*
Lots of things have been happening in my life. Just before finding out about the job (which I had interviewed for in early February and, by this point, had assumed I hadn't gotten it), I was doing some heavy research into grad schools. I was even thinking of starting an online MBA this summer or fall. I was excited to be back in school. But then the job came along, and I decided to take a step back and slow down a bit, go for the grad school thing next year instead.
So there's that.
And then this week was insanely busy! Went for dinner with coworkers on Tuesday, for what may be the last time as my new office is fairly far in the opposite direction of where they work. Wednesday, J came over and cooked a huge three-course meal (fresh tomato-basil soup, homemade chicken parmesan, garlic bread and garlic pesto bread dripping with butter, and strawberry shortcake with homemade brandy whipped cream. Yummmm!) for us. Thursday was the Awkward and Awful Date that Shall Be Forgotten, and Friday was Matthew Bourne's A Play Without Words (read phrases like so fraught with mounting sexual tension followed by orgiastic resolution and One leaves the theater sated, utterly spent.
Then last night, the roomies and I went down to Venice where C has been house sitting. We had a cook out, and some friends came up/down/over, and we just sat and chatted and ate and had a good time. Sean, Ryan, Caitlin, Sarah and I stayed over and came home this morning. It was so nice and peaceful down on the canals with the ducks and the super-friendly little kitty cat that would rub against your legs and talk and purr and lay down to be pet. I miss my kitty!
All in all a very good weekend.
