I got the job

I found out yesterday that I got the job at the private school here in town.  I wasn't as excited as I thought I might have been.  For one thing, I couldn't share the news immediately with Andrew.  For another, it meant I had to tell our best friend that I needed to leave my job at school.  Thirdly, I also know that while this job will be fine, the job I really, really wanted was the job at the high school.  It had been eight or so years since a high school secretary job was available, and it could easily be that long before it happens again.  I also hope that I don't regret giving up my carefree summers in order to take the job.

On the upside, they did offer me the job at the top of the pay scale they had offered, which definitely makes it worth it!  I am excited about the four mile commute instead of nearly thirty.  I am excited about being a part of a team.  I am excited about not having to be up at 5:15 each morning.  I am excited about being able to have coffee each morning, and not worry about whether or not I'm going to be able to use the restroom when I need to...I can go whenever the need arises!  That is a huge benefit.

I don't like change, but our friend at school who hired me was incredibly supportive and awesome.  This sis a wonderful opportunity!
