    Default I did it!!! Got a new job!

    Craziness... After 10 years, I've resigned after being offered a (hopefully) great position with a new company.

    This was such a long process, I applied for this position in July and after 2 phone interviews and 2 face to face interviews, it's mine. This is a new position for the company, so they have built this position around me, my skills, and my knowledge, which feels incredibly awesome.

    My resignation was bittersweet though for many many reasons. I cried my eyes out before I sent my resignation to my boss and HR. Even though I have been unhappy for a while, it is still sad. I've spent 10 years there, it has been my professional life for a long long time. I'm still pretty sad about it but know in the end this is the best for me.

    I know I will always have a job to come back to should this one not work out but it feels good. But right now I'm just not professionally fulfilled there anymore.

    *sigh* I'm definitely happy with my decision. Nervous, but very happy. Next stop, shopping. LOL, It is a business to business casual dress code. I've worked from home and/or in a very casual environment for the last 10 years. I live in flip flops and shorts, LMAO.

    Congratulations and good luck on the new job.

    Wooot wooot!! You go girl!! I knew you could do it. Big step for you, but seems to be a big step in the right direction. There are two main steps to success: First step: Knowing what you NEED to do Second step: DOING IT!! The first step will get you nowhere if you don't go ahead and take that second step. And you did!! *hugs* Big congrats!

    Thanks! Yep... I'm getting more and more excited. My recruiter called and said the company is crazy excited for me to start too. It's a good feeling, to feel appreciated anyways.
