BD, I'm liking the book a lot...I hope you find value in it, too.
Pam, the rain held off long enough for us all to get under the tent at graduation! the weather here has just been miserable -- cold and rainy -- but the ceremony was great and the party my family had for me afterwards was awesome.
So, I got the job offer today. The salary was as expected but the benefits are really, really bad. I thought they would be less than stellar but the health insurance is $$.
I panicked a bit and called h and we had an ok but strained conversation about expenses, etc. We both rallied and talked through a few more things...world's better than we would have done 3 years ago!
he called back a while ago to give me a teaser on the surprise weekend he's planned for me this weekend...what an amazing guy I've married!
As I was writing this post, a thought occured to me...that while the $ related to the job is tough, I'm wondering if I'm not using that to deflect my fears...of the changes (monumental) and of course the ever present fear of failure...('cause surely the people I've fooled here for 7 years must be insane, right?!).
Anyway...just babbling...
