Hi Everyone - Sorry I've been off the grid lately but my show really knocked me down in terms of my energy level - add to that the major suckage that is my job and well it's just been a slow depressing week. BUT all that's going to change.
I was on the phone on Wednesday talking to my professor when she asked me the usual question of "how's work". I told her that I had already made up my mind that I was quitting on Monday regardless of whether or not I had a job. (This is not something I have ever done before nor would I do without a lot of thought) I'm not going to get into the reasons why because this is a HAPPY POST.
So my professor mentions a position that is a temporary position (perfect) working for her as a graduate student advisor. I emailed her my resume, she passed it on to the director and the next thing I know I have an interview the next day at 3:30. The interview went swimmingly, I had a phone interview with another person from 4:15-5pm on Friday and Friday at 5:40 I got a call OFFERING ME THE JOB!!!!
I am sooooo happy. I am giving two weeks notice on Monday which I don't think they are going to be happy about but honestly I've stayed places longer than that and it's never good.
So the position is this: basically Lesley University has two "adult" graduate programs one is an independent study model and one is a interdisciplinary model. My job is to recruit, follow up and guide students who are interested in these programs. In a friendly casual environment that doesn't have a CFO with his head up his ass.
The money is a little more and there are benefits even though the job is only temporary. Lisa the woman who has this job is taking a leave and since I'm going to graduate school in September I can't take on a regular job (I mean I could but it wouldn't be right).
Anyway guys I'm so happy right now I feel like a huge load has been taken off my shoulders. I do plan on posting art pictures I just haven't gotten back to the library yet.
