New Job!

I guess it's time for a new post and since I haven't posted about my new job I thought now would be a good opportunity so I don't lose all my viewers!

I recently posted for a new position at work in another department. I wanted the job so bad I could taste it! It is more interactive in terms of interacting with students and the general TWU community. I've enjoyed my job in Accounts Payable for 2 1/2 years and felt that now it was time to move on to a new adventure, one more suited to my personality. Well, when I found out I was the successful candidate I almost fell out of my chair I was so surprised. I knew there were many applicants and a few that I knew and who I thought would definitely beat me out. So, it was a serendipity! By the way, that's my favorite word and it means "unexpected pleasure" (smile). I'll totally miss my co-workers and that will be an adjustment. I'll have to make sure an visit them - keep them in line! Anyways, my new title is Housing Office Coordinator and with the title comes a raise in pay AND an extra week vacation which is just the icing on the cake. It will involve all aspects of dorm living for students I think. Putting them in rooms, dealing with their complaints and other issues. A fair bit of conflict resolution I'm told. Maybe my psychology course will come in handy for this job! Today is their Christmas lunch which I've been invited to. Yikes, that's the only part I'm a bit anxious about - being the new girl on the block. Oh well, I'll deal with it! Anyways, I start on January 2nd and am anticipating a great experience.
