Can you even stand it?!?! I can't! After 6 looooooong months of job searching, endless resumes and cover letters, uncomfortable interviews and even more uncomfortable rejection letters and emails, I GOT A JOB!!! Sadly, my last day here at the theatres is Friday, Feb 15th. And tonight will be my last show here as an employee.....Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. I'm excited to see it and it is definitely bittersweet for me, but I am definitely on to a better, healthier job atmosphere.
I have been hired at tpt (twin cities public television) as the Development Assistant in the Philanthropic Funding Department. Pretty fancy, huh??
I couldn't be more excited! I will be making more money (so Rian and I can start saving for a house), I will be a lot closer to home and I just have the feeling that it will be a great atmosphere to work in along with great people. For the first time in so long, I feel wanted in a job and feel like I'm not just an employee but that I'm part of a team where I'm actually making a difference and using my skills. And especially, be challenged and excited by the work I'm doing.
My new boss sent out an email this morning to all of tpt welcoming me to the tpt family and she had so many nice things to say about me. That just solidified to me that I'm moving in the right direction to a positive work environment.
It will be a bittersweet end to my time here, but lord knows I'll be back for as many shows as I can go to. The people here (that I actually like) I will keep in touch with for sure.
I've already gotten emotional about leaving but know that I cannot stay here any longer and that I'm meant for bigger and better things than being a front desk/admin asst for any longer.
I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life. And start off with a clean slate....see where the world decides to take me now.
And of course, what goes better with a new chapter in your life and a clean start?
A NEW WARDROBE!!!! That's right folks, its time to go SHOPPING!!!
