Exciting news… I got a new job. I couldn’t be happier right now!!!
I’ll still be working at the University, which I love, but I’ll be working in publishing again and also earning much better money. After I got back from travelling last year I took on a temporary admin/events management role at the University. I like working here, but the job just didn’t excite me and I was bored to death. So now I get to combine both the things I love (university research and publishing) and be paid well. Hallelujah!
I have made the best friends here at my current job and I couldn’t stand the thought of leaving, so now I’ll just be working downstairs from them. Also, the lovely B is now working just down the road from me so now I get to stay close by to her for lunch dates.
The best thing about getting this new job is realising I have the most fabulous and supportive friends, family and colleagues in the world. I have had so many lovely emails, texts and phone calls from everyone who is genuinely happy for me. It just blows my mind that people care so much and it makes me fell all warm and gooey inside. My apologies for being so soppy!
Lucky I have a couple of girlfriends staying with me this weekend so now we can celebrate with a bottle of champagne… or two… let's face it, it's going to get messy!
Congrats on the new job, how fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSlightly envious that you & B get to hang out and lunch, but I guess I can gate crash next time I am over the Tasman!
Awesome news hun!! I also work in a university (two, actually!) and love it. I think they're really great working environments - so different to the real, corporate world.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job :)
ReplyDeleteYayyy, congrats again! I hope you are out to dinner somewhere fancy-schmancy right now :-)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new job and **YAY** for better money.
ReplyDeleteWhen I moved from Auckland to Tauranga I took quite a big pay drop which I accepted as I wanted to get out of the rat race, but soon discovered that having $200 less a week was very noticable as after the mortgage and bills were paid I didn't have a lot left to play with. lol Was so good to get back onto a decent salary and have the freedom to some disposible income to play with.
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you. Could you please pass the old boring job onto me - I could do with boring right now. See you next week :)
