Hectic Mom's Blog (aka Cindy)

I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster.  The car has been going up and up and up and up these past few days... And I've just gone over the top and I have to hold on with everything that I have.  I can't yet see if it's a ginormous drop or just a little dip.  But, I'm starting to feel the air whishing through my hair.

I got a job bump.  Not a little one.  I'm so excited.  And I'm also scared.  And I'm also sad, because my boss (who I have worked with for 8 years) isn't going to be my boss anymore.  He was a really awesome manager.  I'm excited because I'm stepping into his very big shoes - while he goes and steps into bigger shoes.  Our management chain is also changing - which will be interesting.  So, I'll have a new manager.  I'll be managing managers.  I'll be managing an organization.  It's what I've been working.so.hard.for.  I'm confident that I can lead our team to be absolutely outstanding.  However, I'm not as confident that I will have the flexibility that I have now (I can take off early to take my kids to their things).  I'm a star with my current manager, I'm hoping that I will be a star with my new manager - but it's going to take work to build that credibility that I've worked for the past 8 years to build with my current manager.  So, it's a little scary.  And - I feel like I'm just holding on getting ready to take the drop on the rollercoaster. 

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

And on the flip side - I'M SO EXCITED TO DO SOMETHING NEW, but not too new.  I feel like it's a whole new fresh start.  HOLY SHIT!!!!!  (sorry Pam.... It's the only thing that really fits. :))

Until tomorrow...
