what's got two thumbs and can now boss people around?

thanks you guys. i received some solid advice from some of you guys. and some laughs from others. always appreciated.

i did some serious self reflection for the past few weeks. i knew moving forward i was going to put up my BEST efforts in the promotion interview. i studied, and practiced in a mirror. i anticipated possible questions and ran the answers thru my head constantly. i owned it. it was actually fun, if i am being totally honest. no nerves. i wasn't sure i was going to accept anyways. it was a WebEX panel interview. cake!

i got offered the position!. i had some leverage, so i asked for a few concessions.

i took a long hard look at myself, i figured i was more nervous about the CHANGE, and less the job. i do not love change. never have. bottom-line, i couldn't stomach going backwards. going back to my old position is going backwards. onward and forward, always. my new job, which is right where i am now today, starts Monday!! my work load got halved since we also hired a second supervisor. i was managing two areas. now only one.

i can take a breath. now to go celebrate and buy myself something. my wife is happy as well.

That’s great news, congratulations. You’ll get used to the change and never look back.

You bought the rifle yet?

Congrats!

Read the Dilbert comic strip daily and use it to make sure you don't do anything the "pointy hair boss" does and you'll be fine.

Outstanding! Congrats, and I'm sure well earned and deserved!

I'm really glad that they hired a second person so your workload is reduced as well. I think that's a big deal towards keeping you sane and your stress at a better level.

Woo hoo! Drinks on Vash!
