Promote from Within

Today is the first day in three years that I won't be able to walk in the 5 mile Breast Cancer walk on Belle Isle. Instead, I get to fight the walkers as I go to open the Dossin later. And because I'm bummed I can't walk it this year, I gave my mom a hefty donation and sponsored her walk.

The Tigers are up three games to nothing and can clinch the ALCS. Holy crap! I'm very jealous of two, I mean 45,000 people who are going to Co Park tonight. I'll be watching in my cubicle when I should be closing the museum and then listening on the radio until I get back and watch the remainder of the game. Go get 'em Tiggies!

My meeting yesterday....yeah, I got promoted. Big time. And I'll have people reporting to me. And it will be a Monday thru Friday job after there is a new weekend manager hired and trained. My degree is worth something now. And I won't have to worry about making the payments anymore. I can relax a little and adjust to a new world. I have a grown up job now with a salary and benefits. I think they talked about the job with me in mind for filling it because I "have really impressed everybody" at the museum. It's exciting. The days will be a little crazy at first, but I start with the full-time hours on Monday. All the hardship I faced after graduation has now finally paid off. And who said Friday the 13th was supposed to be unlucky?
