well we're movin' on up (movin' on up!)
so today is my last day in my current position as a "Senior Clerk" here in the Admissions Office. tomorrow i begin as an Admissions Officer in the International Office (of Admissions) thinking about it earlier, i had a feeling of accomplishment (something which rarely overcomes me) and that i had really done a good job here. despite the fact that i am a little bit of a slacker here (or it feels that way) i doubt they'd have promoted me so rapidly (i've only been here 3 months) if they weren't anything but quite pleased with how i've discharged my duties.
that i was able to stick it out in this job at all felt like a victory to me; at first it was very hard. i almost quit, and was seriously depressed when i began. i toughed it out largely to avoid disappointing my girlfriend, and also because i had a very sympathetic boss. he really bent over backwards to make things more comfortable for me here, and i owe him a lot for that. and also for what was undoubtedly a very positive reccomendation for promotion.
in fact, i'm a little sad to be leaving his service, as in addition to being very nice and easy to work for, i like him a lot as a person. he's very smart and kind and politically progressive, and enjoyable to talk to. he'll be joining Liz and myself for dinner this Saturday, (with his partner) which i am really looking forward to.
thanks to all of my friends, who in many ways which you may or may not be aware of, helped me through the difficult early period of my job and to this point. as Bo has suggested, i will be celebrating on Friday evening. (don't worry Sarah, i'll try to do it prior to your party, wehre it will be all about you)
