Employed

So the news is......I have a new job!

Through a bit of inopportune timing and surprise recommendations, I was offered a position at the LINK in our hometown. (Our town's chamber of commerce/economic development/education liaison/newcomer liaison organization. Very fitting for this Mac of all trades!)

I wasn't looking for a new job, and I'll miss my co-workers here at the W terribly, as they have shared in my first working years. I'll be forever grateful to this place for being a progressive (that's right people, I said progressive) place for me to find my voice. Ideas and inspriation were always welcome here, and I have been so very fortunate to work with, and not for, some amazing people.

My new adventure in the working world promises to be challenging and exciting, and I am both thrilled and terrified. It's a strange juxtaposition to deal with sad goodbyes and happy hellos in a very short amount of time. I cannot stop reflecting at how fortunate I am, that I was able to choose between two jobs when many are unable to find employment at all.

Tell me, how do y'all deal with new opportunities? Head on, or one toe in? I'd love to hear some fabulous words of wisdom. Keep the stupidity to yourselves.
