cat’s out of the bag…
Published July 11th, 2007 in family, life, workor at least it will be, this morning when i get into work. remember a while back i mentioned something about a secret? well yesterday i officially resigned from my current job and i accepted a new job at an agency in boston. i’m very excited for this new opportunity, especially since it’s so close to home. i’m finally going to be able to experience what it’s like to live and work in the city (as opposed to living in boston and working in new hampshire).
i have to say that turning in that letter was a bit emotional. i’ve been at my current job for a little over two years, and i really do like it, however the drive was really eating up so much time in my life. i leaves me little time to wake up and work out before work, or even come home to make a decent meal. at the same time the thought that i won’t be driving up there and seeing all the familiar faces will be weird and might need tome time to getting used to-but i do look forward to riding the T to work and seeing new friendly faces!
so i’ve been meaning to back track and talk about my trip to miami-i have so many pictures to share and stories to tell. all of which i did try to update on a daily basis, but it was so hard! so instead, i think i’ll do a little recap sometime this week. it’s my second day in boston, and i’m on my own. camilo stayed behind in miami till next monday when he leaves for colombia. so yesterday on my way home i stopped by the supermarket to buy some thin chicken breasts, some fresh strawberries, & some lettuce for me to cook for the week. once home, i ended up just having some strawberries accompanied by few martini’s. lisa came over with lina, jackson played for a little while. i had one too many martini’s (two to be exact-note to self: one’s enough) and crashed early-the earliest i’ve crashed in a long time-how’s 10 for a bed time…now i’m up super early and i’m ready for the day. good morning wednesday!
8:58am update
ok-so it’s been announced. no fireworks or anything. lol. seems like it was kinda expected, but then again it’s not like i did a good job of hiding how i felt about my drive. i’m happy everyone is happy for me. i’m happy for me. on my way to work this morning i sang at the top of my lungs, text messaged all my friends to have a wonderful day, and wore a smile on my face from cheek to cheek. i can’t wait to get home today-hopefully my friends are up for hanging out tonight…
11:49am update
in case you’re wondering… i currently commute 55 miles (each way) to work now… the new place i’ll be working at is only 3.9 miles aways from home. yay!
11:10pm update
what a day. it’s getting late. i’ve been in bed for about and hour now and i can’t fall asleep. i’m kinda tired, i really really want to fall asleep-but i can’t. so here i am. update of the work day was that it ended pretty well. i’m feeling really good about my decision to accept this new position. on my way home, i was looking forward to hanging out with kristina since she said she was going to be in the neighborhood-at the last minute i thought that the milkyway had 80s aquanet dance night tonight, so tried calling up a few other girls to see if they were interested-anyway, they all ended up having plans already. then kristina ended up canceling her stopping by. now that i check out milkyway site-i find that it wasn’t 80s aquanet night after all… it was ’sick pleasure’ monthy punk, skate, hardcore and thrash night-which i actually wouldn’t of minded checking out. maybe lisa would have been interested? had i known i probably would have asked her! not that i would have wanted to be there all night-but i would be down to check it out. anyway-it’s 11:28 now, and i think i should call it a night (try to anyway)… later!
New, friendly faces on the morning T? Good luck with that. Congratulations!
Now I’m going to have to read your blog ALL the time just to stay in touch. There are worse fates I suppose.
Which agency (Digitas? Arnold? or the one over in Southie?)
Congrats. I don’t know why, but I totally missed that signal in your earlier post. I totally thought you were going to say you were preggers.
Talk to you soon and I’m certain our paths will cross again. In the meanwhile, keep reading Bowl of Cheese and stop by http://www.tdf07.blogspot.com - it’s my Tour de France blog and it’s where I’m also going to do some Paris blogging when I go next week.
ALSO, I’ll probably miss your last day as I don’t come back until July 31. SO, definitely send me an email or look me up on LinkedIn so I have your info.
OK. Back to work.
Jeff
DARKSPARK: lol…thanks! i can’t wait. watch, i’m going to be making all sorts of new friends on the T-that or reading a lot more (=
JEFF: no no-no preggers for me…not yet anyway! and yes, i’m totally going to be checking out your blog & keeping in touch. we should do lunch or something before the end of this week…seeing you won’t be around the next week.
