Well, I took the night, and slept on it.
I read the letter a few times, then closed the email. And didn't log back in. I acted as if nothing had happened, made myself dinner, played some x box, cuddled with my kitties and watched some documentaries, relaxed and went to bed.
This morning, I re-opened the email. Re-read the hiring agreement, digitally signed it, and replied. Evidently they had been waiting on it, because Within 5 minutes I received a very enthusiastic reply back. From both the big big big boss in Seattle, and my boss/partner here. They say theyre thrilled to have me on board and just from speaking with me they think im going to go very far with them.
Holy. Crap. I did it. its done..........
The stage is set. The audience in place. Props are ready. I talked the talk. Now its time to see if I can dance. In 3 weeks.
Wish me luck.
Am I nervous?. A little. But I think that's only because this is something new. I DID have a good feeling every time I was in there. And maybe because this is entirely unlike anything ive done before. But at the same time I enjoy helping people, and many people I spoke to said this was a big thing they got out of their jobs. Yes, theres some downsides. Your going to find that regardless of whatever job you do. But theres a lot of upsides. Oh! and their benefits really kick *** too!.
I technically could almost work anywhere, as they (we) have 400 offices worldwide, from Canada to NZ. My partner said when he expressed interest in transferring here from Toronto, they sent him out for a couple weeks to see how he felt about it and then paid his moving expenses. I realize theres ALOT more to moving overseas. But still!. Maybe one day, who knows right?.
The possibilities are a little crazy to think about. But I think this leap of faith is a growing step for me. Even if for whatever reason it doesn't work out, I can stinll look back and say I took that step, instead of saying I let fear stop me like I have in the past.
Wish me luck
