Promotion

What a time it's been recently. So much was happening last week but I couldn't write about it. Now that it was announced at work, I can finally write about it. I have been promoted to manager of my group!

Basically my manager is moving on, and I have been chosen to take her place. Part of the reason I was stressing out last week was the trip I had to take on Friday to interview with the "big boss" for the position. I flew out Friday morning, spent the day with him, was given the position on the spot, and flew back Friday night. That was quite a day!

When I got into DFW airport Friday night, I picked up Kevin, who had come in from NYC. It was so neat to have him here to be excited with me. Though I didn't have a chance to tell him the full story until Saturday afternoon. Friday night we got home and went straight to bed. Saturday morning I got up early for class, then met with my group afterwards. So it wasn't until Saturday afternoon that Kevin and I got to talk. I got to go into glorious detail and get it all out of my system. (Believe me, I wanted to come here and spill my guts, but when it comes to work, you understand that sometimes I need to be discreet.)

So Kevin and I spent the rest of the weekend together and it was really great. We watched movies, cooked, went shopping, and played video games. I like it when he's here and we do normal, every day type stuff. This weekend was totally normal, though not at all long enough - he flew out this morning.

Now I'm back into the daily grind except I have all sorts of new challenges ahead of me. It's going to be very, very interesting to see what the future holds.
