The Other Big News

You may recall from the last post that I said there was other Big News. That news is this:

I received a new position at work. I will be a Marketing Communications Specialist, dealing in brochures, posters, promotional material, catalogue developement, website and image maintenance, and promotional item inventory management. Oh, and some trade show graphics as well.

Flippin'. Sweet.

For those who don't know the backstory, I started at my company in December of 2005, pulling parts in a warehouse as a poor post-college kid wondering when my degree would finally help me get a Real Job. From there I moved to the shipping department, when I met someone in Marketing. Upon talking to Awesome Lady as I was carrying a box up to her cube for her, she got me a stint splitting my time between helping them with technical drawings and manuals and the warehouse, as a test run to see what I could do.

Turns out I passed the test run, and in April of 2006 I contracted with the Marketing Department doing the same work. November 2006 rolled around, and with my contract up, they kicked me over to the Training Department working for Mr. M, this time as a Full Time employee.

After several months, Mr. M and I received a New Young Manager, who I then worked under as a designer and eLearning developer. This did not suit my strengths very well, however, and so the New Young Manager began helping me locate something that would be better suited to me.

By the way, New Young Manager rocks, and I hate to lose him as a boss, but them's the works.

Anyways, long story short, the marketing manager, The Stone, offered me a position working in marketing doing all the things I've been trying to get into. I start January 2008, and I'm very, very excited about that. New baby, new job, it looks like life could be pretty good comin' up (not that is wasn't already, just even more so).

So that's the Other Big News that I have. Our Creator has treated me very, very well. Undeservedly so, to say the least, but I am still grateful for it and humbled by the amazing gifts I continually receive from him.

WOO!!!
