To think that the beginning of February I was bored, still looking for work and worried about finances.....it seems like a world away.
It's now March 17th...been at the job for about 5 weeks and I have never worked harder in my life. Since it's just a different division of the same company I had worked for 10 years, it was easier to get up to speed, but the hours I'm putting in are crazy. For example: this past week, never home before 8 pm and last night I got home at 9. However I am thankful that I finally found a new career that I love and look forward to going into the office.
Recently, I got involved in a project cleaning up some "fall out" from a few clients we worked on last year. This was a very sensitive issue and had a lot of visibility..since I was closely involved and brought it to resolution, I got noticed by some of the real higher ups which is great. They have now asked that myself and my boss be in charge of getting our new location in another area of Georgia up and running (which needs to be done by May 16th mind you). The building is almost complete, and this week we hired 22 people. It's been crazy but a lot of fun.
On top of that, then I have been asked to go over seas over the summer for 3 weeks to work on a "off shoring" project. I'm very excited at this opportunity...however the thought of 3 weeks away...is a long time.
In other news...my new housekeeper starts today. WOO HOO!. I can't wait. I'm working my ass off..and am no longer going to spend my weekends trying to clean the house. I feel a little self indulgent with this one...but hell why not!
It's St. Patricks day...so I supposed I'll HAVE to go out tonight for a few beers...but they are MUCH needed after this week.
Hope y'all have a great weekend!
