change

i always saw myself as someone that thrived under stress. in college, i procrastinated and would write my papers the night before or even the day they were due. i told myself i did better because of the added stress. i love working at st. margaret hospital, but over the last few months i have been asking myself if i get everything i need from my job. so, i applied for a couple different positions in the upmc system and have had 2 interviews. i was offered and accepted a job as a care manager for ccbho (community care behavioral health organization) and will begin my new position on june 8. i am excited, nervous, stressing out over my change in schedule and location of employment, but happy. i will be working evening shifts and rotating weekends and i will now be working downtown. but i feel good about it, and i am getting a pretty significant raise, so really, i can't complain. ben is also going back to his job on tuesday- he has been off on an fmla since january. i have been spoiled by having my husband be a "stay at home dad/rock star musician" and am nervous but happy with the upcoming changes. my friend angela will be watching the boys while i wrap up my old position and orient on daylights for 1 month. cross your fingers for me that all will go well.
