It's official as of this morning..I will be switching to a brand new full-time job with a completely different employer starting in mid-January 2009. This new one is a public sector employer with a corporate culture that does try to did a little abit more for balance of work-personal life. My current job is a contract with private firm.

In January I also will celebrate a milestone birthday (50). So right now it feels like a triple gift: Christmas gift, New Year's "gift" and birthday gift. laugh

Oh yea, remember my birthay falls on same day of a niece who will turn 1 yr. old. Just for this double birthday alone, January will never be a dull month again! smile

Orchid

Whoo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm jumping for joy at your amazing news. Way to take a stand for yourself and what is best for you.

And welcome (almost!) to the world of 50...I keep finding more and more freedom to be me, with less and less of the "I Should's" ruling my life. Now that, in my mind anyway, is a good thing!

Thanks for sharing your good news...and all your news actually.

You so deserve it, Orchid! Hooray for you! I'm glad you are getting what you are worth, or closer to it!

You are a wonderful woman with a great mind and it's always wonderful to see that rewarded!

Enjoy and please share your stories as things change!

Hi Meredith.,..I think it's just us two birdies on the board right now. I read somewhere that you donated jewlery to poor young girls. What a beautiful generous thing to do.

Orchid, congratulations! Wow, that was a surprise. You snuck that one up on us. Did you enter your birthday date in the calendar? Don't forget to do so!

Edelweiss, isn't it some weird hour before dawn in Germany right now? Yes, I donated to the same organization I did last year. I was thinking of giving maybe even more, but I ran out of time and steam. But 75 pieces was good! smile Maybe next year I'll aim for 100.
