employed

I went in today to sign some paperwork and to get the hiring process started.  After my background check is finished and I review/sign the contract I will officially be employed.  

It has been a really difficult process trying to find a job that I felt like was a good match for me.  I sent out so many resumes and went to so many interviews only to find that each place had a pretty significant issue that made me feel very doubtful that it would be a good working situation for me.  This job came along right before I was about to accept a position that I had strong reservations about.  It has nearly everything I had on my dream job wish list and the things that were on that list that it doesn't have were not ones that I was overly concerned about.  The best thing about it is that the group I will be working for is incredibly supportive of their employees and highly values the balance between work and personal life.  

Finally, after so many years of school and all the drama that ensued with my program in regards to graduation because of the the time I had to take off (a whopping two and a half weeks) after my c-section with George, I am going to be able to actually put all my hard work to some use.  

Of course, this does mean my internet time is going to be severely limited...

Oh, my lovely internet, I will miss you and all the things I learn from you.  At least I don't start for another six weeks so I have some time to adjust to life without you in it everyday.
