My Promotion was officially announced at work yesterday. Since then, my inbox has been flooded with congratulations and well wishes. I can’t help but blush a bit when people say things like “Jess, I’m so happy and proud of you. You so deserve this.” You know what, I do!! I’m not going to feel bad or selfish in soaking up this good feeling or eating up the compliments. A gray cloud has been lingering around my world and I am gladly accepting this piece of positive and good news. I’m going to run with it and hope that it brings more good news. Wouldn’t it be nice to bottle feelings like this up and take them out on a rainy day? The saying is true:
“Things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they are right.”
With the news of my promotion come a lot of bittersweet feelings with leaving my current team and most importantly, my boss. My boss is the reason I DON'T want to leave. We have become so close over the last 2 1/2 years. When she announced to my team that I was leaving, she even choked up a little bit which in turn, I did too. It's nice to know that you have made an impact on someone, so much so that they get emotional with the idea of you leaving. The good news is, I am still in the same department and in fact, only will be 4 rows down from her. We have already set up regular lunch dates and I have a feeling she will be down visiting me a lot, and vice versa. She is the BEST boss I have EVER had. Period. Her biggest worry is that she wont be able to find a compatible Admin Coordinator. Obviously, I'm irreplaceable... duh, but I am confident she will find a perfect fit.
Word has spread about my open position like rapid fire. There have been several people who have reached out to me to set up informationals (mini interview to learn more about my job etc...) I kind of feel like a celebrity. Never in my lifetime as anyone been so interested to be "Me." One of the girls I met with yesterday even said she was nervous to meet with me. I had to laugh. I like to believe that I am a very approachable person and not in the least bit intimidating so to hear that someone was nervous to meet with me came as a little bit of a shock. Guess I'm kind of a big deal. People KNOW me. Hahah. Couldn't resit quoting Anchorman!
I'm feeling good. I'm at a good place right now. This is the fuel to my fire that I needed so badly to keep going. I'm hopeful and confident that all of the other pieces I am trying to juggle will fall into place, soon. Cheers to ME and a new chapter of only good and happy things!
