It really is time for me to go- in more ways than one.

I got a freaking new job guys.

I type this to you in shock.

Here I was, getting on to write my last post from Kuwait and say my goodbyes and mention how I’m going to suck at feedback for the next week or so-

and then it happened.

I got a new freaking job.

For all my nestie friends that have known me for a long time now, you guys might remember the constant whining and crying about my current job. You’ve been with me through the days of the Emperor in Waiting, and then the New Emperor, Scotty, and everything in between. I’ve posted about it a lot over the last year. And then you might remember that a few weeks ago I mentioned applying for another job. Well- that “another job” is the job I got.

I’ll be honest. i’ve sort of been holding out on you guys for about a week (I’m terrible, I know). I got a call from the department manager last week saying he wanted to hire me, even knowing I’m getting the hell out of here for a month in a half (again, the praise chours lets out a deafening shout). He said he didn’t care and he wanted to hire me and we could work out everything else later.

So-

I got the call, and the call was great.

But it was just a call.

I still had to wait on the molasses of a HR department to process everything while I did the “Please let everything go through smoothly” dance. So, I’ve been dancing about a week now.

I thought I was going to have to dance during my vacation too. Nothing ever happens in a timely manner here. It’s like the heat zaps our will to work or something.

So, I’ve been doing the “Please let everything go through smoothly” dance for a week, extrememly stressed that I had to trust other people to make sure this all happens (I hate relying on people that don’t really care what happens to your crap, you know?).

In fact, I’ve been so stresseed over recent events that this weekend Will and I got into a tiff over how I worry incredibly too much (he’s right). I decided this morning that he was right.

During my time with God this morning I gave my worries to him. I told him that I knew that the department wanted to hire me and that I knew I just needed to trust that God was big enough to take care of all the things that I was worrying about. I stopped trying to be in control of the situation and simply gave everything over to him.

Well..

God was faithful. This morning I got a call from HR saying everything was ready to go and I was clear to freaking start tomorrow!
That’s right ladies!

Bye Bye Marketing Admin!

As of tomorrow I’m officially a brand new woman!

I got a really fast paced, always changing job in a great department. Basically, our department justifies why our company is here and why the army needs to keep us. It’s a huge job with constant negotiating and writing up proposals, and I’m so excited to be apart of it.

Yay! Brittny has a new job!

So, my secret is out and you all know. I’ve really wanted to tell you but I thought I better wait until I knew for sure everything was taken care of.

Like I said, I thought I was going to get on today and talk trip stuff and in turn I had job stuff to talk about too!

Now lets talk trip stuff.

That’s right.

I’m entitled to a really long post right? Afterall, I’m not going ot be posting for a few days! I know you guys are all dying ot know my itinerary for the first few days (ha ha), so let’s get to it!

I start my new job tomorrow. It will sort of be weird starting a brand new job tomorrow knowing that tomorrow night I’m gone fr 45 days, but nonetheless it should be an interesting day and very fast paced. I’m also attending a quickly thrown together appreciation luncheon for yours truly too, so the day will fly.

We fly out tomorrow at midnight.

We get into Minneapolis on Monday afternoon (I love flying to the states and gaining all that time back, it’s great). From the airport we’ll probably check into our hotel and go straight to the Mall of America. They have a Cingular there and we’ll get temporary numbers for our phones for the next month or so. After that it’s off to Don Pablos where we’ll have our first American meal (actually, we have “American food” all the time here… but you know what I mean). From there it’s back to the hotel so Will can…

you guessed it…

watch Monday night Football.

I’m sure I’ll be extremely tired from all the travelling and I will conk out while he’s watching the game. Plus i’ll need my sleep becuase the next day is shopping at the MOA!

Okay okay, I know you’ve heard enough of my life for today. We’re bringing our laptop so you won’t miss a thing! ha ha, lucky you. So, you’re not rid of me. Sorry guys!
Speaking of which, I figured I might as well be honest and say I’m going to suck at reading blogs for the next week or so. I promise I’ll be keeping up while I’m home though, it will probably just take me a lot longer than normal!

So that’s my big update. I’m trying to type quickly because I didn’t expect to leave tomorrow and I have a few loose ends I need to tie up before I go (ahahahhhh! I still can’t believe it’s all happening!!!).

I love you guys.

Say goodbye to the admin,

Say goodbye to the girl in Kuwait.

See you all soon! Well, not really, but at least I’ll be a lot closer!
