Well, so-I did it.

I was offered a job today. I accepted. HOORAY. This is a bit of a dream job for me. I've been applying with this company for about a year and a half, and first started actually talking to humans there last June, I think.

After not working FT for 10 months, I am nervous! I know this position is going to be a BIG challenge-the work load will be heavy, and I will be busier and have more meetings than I ever have. It's a challenge I am definitely up to, but still makes me nervous.

PLUS, I have never worked in an office this big. Seriously, there are like 2000 people in the facility where I'll be working. Instead of being the only meeting planner or one of a few, I'll be one of several. I'm entering the (much faster) pace of corporate meetings. I'm thrilled and excited and so ready to do this.

I am not patient. It's genetic. But patience and persistence paid off here. I got one of (in my opinion) the very few jobs in Austin worth waiting for. I've said it before-there's just not a lot here, outside of state associations, which don't float my boat since I've worked in international and national associations. A state association would feel like a step back at this point.

Anyway...yay! :)
