It feels really weird starting a new job tomorrow. I’m excited, but nervous. I hope I will be a good supervisor. I hope I will like this job as much as my last one. I will keep you updated…
The One Where I Got a New Job! May 18, 2008
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. The trip to Texas was nice, but it was really good to get home. We got home on Saturday and I had an interview on Tuesday for a new job. I got offered that job on Wednesday and will start it on June 2nd. YAY! I will be a Student Services Manager on the Columbia campus.
I usually supervise people just because I’m bossy – it’s not actually in my job description. Now I will supervise three people and get paid for it. It’s a great next step for me career-wise. Also, did I mention no more 2.5 hour commute each day and no more 120 mile round-trip gas bill? YAY indeed! However, I’ll definitely miss my co-workers and students in Aiken, but it’s time for a new experience…
Thursday I had Dissertation Bootcamp Reunion and I may finally know which direction I want to go with my research now. Friday we had an all day off-campus retreat for my current job. Then I went to the house in North Augusta for some more painting (I forgot my camera, but I’ll post an update soon). I did that Friday night and most of Saturday (except for Saturday evening when we went to dinner at Jenny’s house – a member of my Dissertation committee). Today I’m getting ready for my presentation at the NACADA Conference which will be today thru Tuesday. I’m also hoping to work on my book review that is due June 1. After Tuesday, I’ll be back at work like normal for a week and a half to wrap everything up before leaving.
That’s it for now… I’m too busy for stuff like this! I’m sure that means I’ll write more soon…
