Moving On Up!

Guess what?

This week I interviewed with a small company and they offered me a position as the Assistant to the CEO. The money was straight. But nothing even closely related to what I really wanted to be doing.

But I said to myself, “Self, this is not about you. This is about stability for your family. I know you want to be happy but you can be happy after your kids are grown and out of your house. It’s time to sacrifice.”

I cried but I sucked it up and decided to give notice at my lovely private school.

When I went into to tell my daytime (temporary) boss that I was leaving she arranged a meeting with me and asked me what she needed to do to keep me here. I gave her a salary and she said she’ d see if she could get approval for it.

Today we met for lunch and she told me that she got me what I wanted with a significant increase after the 3 month probation period. And get this, my position, didn’t even EXIST before I started working here. They made the position up for me.

You all know I LOVE working here. I LOVE being here. I LOVE everyone here and the opportunity it presents to learn a new trade. Development is another term for Fundraising so I’ll be hob knobbing with Miami’s elite as I try to convince them that my private school is a worthy investment.

I’m so happy!

And to think, I get to quit my night job now. I’ll have more time for my sons. I can start to look for a place to live. The best thing is, I am LEARNING. I love to learn! And I’m just ambitious enough to take this thing and blow it up, because I’m about exceeding ALL expectations!

I am on my way!
