5 more days
So including today I'll be here only 5 more days. It's such a relief. So far everyone here has been wonderful upon hearing about the job change. Of course they understand that this change is in my best interest. And with things so slow here, it's not putting anyone out.

Yesterday was one big rollercoaster for me. I played phone tag with the human resources director. Since she called, I expected a job offer. Finally, near the end of the business day, she called with an offer. It was exactly what I wanted. I immediately accepted. I couldn't believe what an easy decision it was and how right it felt. When I was getting out of college and looking for a teaching job, I got two offers in one week. I had such a tough time making a decision - nothing felt right. In comparison, this is so right. Just a few weeks ago I was saying that I wanted a job with a better salary, normal hours, younger co-workers, and the opportunity to move up. This job is all those things! "Ask and you shall receive."

Communication
Women communicate differently than men. Last night I went to visit my friend, Susie, and see the new house she just had built. The house is gorgeous and everything she wanted. I'm so happy for her. Through the course of the evening, we talked about many things but it occurred to me that our conversation mostly came back to our relationships with other people. I guess I haven't been talking to women enough because this struck me as oddly wonderful. What a wonderful night I had!
