Official

So it's official...I have a new job!! My salary still hasn't been agreed upon but as it stands right now, it will only be a little bit less than what I'm currently making. There's still some negotiating going on and they might be able to match what I'm making now which would be awesome but either way, I have a new job!!! I am so excited to have a job where I will be busy and where I'm going to have actual real responsibilities. And since I'm tranferring between federal agencies, my last day at my current job is next Friday...which is so incredibly soon. Ack!! I'm trying not to freak out.

Generally I don't always handle change well, particularly fast changes. I keep reminding myself that I'm okay, it's going to be alright, etc. I never realized how much personal stuff I have at work until yesterday when I started packing things up...I have a lot of stuff in my office!! My goal today is to get as much of my personal stuff packed up so this weekend I can drive in and pick it up. And then the next step will be trying to figure out where all this stuff is going to go in the apartment, temporarily at least. One step at a time...

I'm so excited!!! I'm also getting really nostalgic about leaving but I know it's the right step.

Off to pack.
