In My Life:
Well this week has certainly been pretty interesting. On Monday, I had a one-on-one meeting with the state Director of my division of the company. One of the things we talked about was if I was interested in moving up within the company. The very next day my direct supervisor turned in their resignation. The day after that, the Director reached out to me to let me know that they were taking advantage of the timing to do some restructuring. Without going into a lot of detail, they are replacing my supervisor, but also adding an Assistant Director to oversee both sites that I admin for. And I was encouraged to apply… so I did. My interview is Tuesday. If I were to get this, it would be a HUGE promotion. I mean, the raise I just got was nice, this raise would be significantly more. Do you know how many more organizations I could help with that raise?? I would also go from hourly to salary and would need to travel between the offices. But I’m super excited. And really nervous. I know that I have a lot of support throughout the company, but this is by no means a sure thing. And if I don’t get it, that’s still ok, because I love my job and have no problem continuing as Lead Admin.
In other work news, regardless of which position I have, I’ll be getting my own office at my home site in June. We’ve been needing a larger office and have been having difficulty finding something, so the other tenants on our floor are leaving and we will be expanding into their space, which will have both a proper admin/reception area as well as a separate office for the AD. I will be needing some things no matter which office is to be mine, so I’ve been creating a wish list of various office supplies and decor that I’d like to get for my space.

Good luck wih the promotion! That sounds very exciting and it’s nice that you’re happy either way, whether you get it or not. but it sounds like you have a great shot! 🙂
Happy reading this week as well…
Thank you Greg! I am really excited and nervous, but I feel good about it.
