Quick UpdateEntry #676877
Hi all, I hope you're having a good Thursday. I had planned to take more time to write this entry, but my schedule for today got turned upside down as soon as I got in the office. It's ok, though. The day has gone by quickly.

It looks like things are on track for my agency move next year. It also looks like they have some pretty good plans for me when/if all goes through well. They seem very willing to make the transition a smooth one, and I like the ideas they had about integrating my expertise into the systems they have now. It's different, but it's a good kind of different. All in all, it's looking good and I'm a lot less nervous about this move than I have been lately. One very big plus is that I get to dump the accounting duties. Bye bye! As you can tell, that's alright with me. I like being an administrator and it looks like that's exactly what they want me to be 100% of the time over there. Hooray!

I think this is going to be a refreshing change for me. And while the transition might be bumpy (aren't they always?) it looks like it will be worth it. They assured me that all of them came from similar work backgrounds to mine and that they understand the adjustments I'll be making. They also said they thought I'd find it quite favorable and that while there will be cross training, I shouldn't be stretched quite so thin over too many areas. So far it's looking good. Every time I come out of their office, I'm happy.

Two questions they asked me caught me a bit off guard. The first was that they asked how I felt about making the move. Not my registrants or from a work perspective, but how I personally felt. I told them truthfully that I liked their environment a lot and that I'm excited about it. The second thing is that they asked if I'm a notary. Gulp! Good thing I decided to renew my commission last month. I almost let it lapse! They were very happy to find that I just renewed and I'm good for the next 10 years.

So work is looking up. Of course, I'm still a little nervous. Who isn't when you're on the brink of a major change? But I suppose the next few months will tell the tale and we'll get it up and running.

Because of this, it's probably a good thing that I've started on "Invalid Item" . I'll definitely want to have that rough draft done before things get too crazy with this. I'll be swamped with last minute license renewals in late January, and they said something about starting system conversion conversations/processes in February. Since I've started, I think I can get a rough draft done, or close to done, by late January. If not, I should at least be progressing nicely and it should be a relief to have that to finish up in my free time. It will all work out. Still, I am glad I decided to start now and not wait until the first of January like I originally planned!

Tomorrow's the big craft show, and I'm so excited! Mom and I always have a great time there. I hope I can get some good Christmas shopping done. I have high hopes. We're all ready to go and we're just waiting for the gates to open at 10AM tomorrow. It's always a fun day that passes too fast. I'll let you know how it goes. That and Dad's birthday supper Sunday night are the big plans for the weekend. Saturday is free, so we'll see what we feel like doing.

Ok folks, I'm off. I hope you have a great day and a Happy Friday tomorrow if I don't have a chance to drop in.

Bye!
