it's amazing
i was driving to work friday and realized that i wasn't stressed out. i actually wanted to go to work. isn't it funny how you can just live with the stresses of your life until you adjust to a constant sense of trepidation?
friday was the first day i didn't go to my old job at my old building. i didn't have to deal with my old boss who'd been talking about me behind my back to my coworkers. i didn't have to deal with bumping into him after i had hr talk to him about how that was inappropriate. i didn't have to do the work that i'd lost the motivation for doing after i found out about how he was retaliating for me leaving and him having to reassign my existing projects.
so, friday i went to my new building to start the next phase of my career...a division product engineer. i will be responsible for correcting quality issues, driving quality improvements, and helping to introduce new products for my division. i am now working for abrasives on products that are used to polish optics and semiconductors and products that polish car engine parts. my new job is a lot closer to ie than my old job, but they thought that having a ee on board would be a good idea anyway. so far i'm excited about it, but i don't officially start until tuesday.
other life things are going well. mikey and i are in one last big cleaning blitz before our house goes on the market on wednesday. they break ground on our new house on tuesday. we've picked out all of the flooring and lighting and exterior colors and all the other little decisions you seem to need to make when building a new house. i find myself daydreaming about how i'm going to paint the various rooms of our house...it's funny how none of those dreams include marblizing anything.
also very exciting...i got an email from kelly!!!! am i the only one who didn't know that she'd moved to florida and gotten engaged to egon? i miss my kel!!!!
btw, we're going to be in ga july 3-10. we'll be spending the first part of our vacation in atlanta and the second in albany. we'll be staying with adam & amy and going to the kev/jenn wedding. other than that we've made no concrete plans. it would be great to see some of our favorite friends again...hint, hint.
