AW: good news

I took LilShirley into work last Friday to say hello to everybody, and I got called into my boss's office to chat when my direct supervisor wanted to hold the baby. I got a promotion for next year! I'll still be doing what I currently do, but this is an added title and pretty significant responsibility. It also paves the way for what I hope to ultimately do, career-wise. 

Anyway, I thought I'd share here, since I don't think I can share this news with anybody at work yet. 

I am serious...and don't call me Shirley.

    Thanks! I live really close to work and the hours are very "mommy" friendly.  

    I'm sorry to hear about your own work troubles. Hopefully, things will blow over somewhat soon :(

    I'm going to tell myself this on the many days when I simply don't see the point in exerting the effort on changing out of a sweatshirt that smells of baby vomit.

  • Woot!
    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.
  • No seriously. A promotion while on maternity leave? That is the stuff of mommy magazines! That's great!!! You are an inspiration to all working moms everywhere!

    Honestly, that's part of why it's so crazy. I had lunch with my BFF today, who was like, "You should take leave EVERY year". This is like finding the golden ticket. I feel like Charlie :)

    Thanks for the congrats, everybody. Now, off to check to see if the CIO thread exploded into the potential this topic always has ;-) 

    ETA: BTW, all of the kids in the sigs here are super cute, from the squishy baby cheeks to the toddlers to the big kids.
