Boy how change scares me...

Alrighty ladies and gents.
Just recently, I've been offered a new job, and after long deliberation, decided I had to give it a shot.

I've been trying to get this receptionist position with Fortis College for probably 4 months. Well, I was trying 4 months ago, thinking I was in for sure, but then it fell through. Then I got a call last Thursday saying the girl who had the position just quit and asked if I wanted the job.

Now, when I originally applied for the postition, I was oblivious as to what I wanted to go to school for. Now that I know, I wasn't so sure about the job. At Massage Envy, I work evenings Mon-Thurs. This is perfect for my ideal morning school schedule. Fortis is a Mon-Fri morning job that would force me to take night classes- an idea I'm not too fond of.

Also, since I originally applied, I got a raise and a promotion at Massage Envy. The offer Fortis gave me 4 months ago was enough to sway me then, but not now if it meant sacrificing my school schedule. I told that to the potential boss, and he agreed to an amount that I'd be stupid to refuse.

I'd be doing all the same things there as I am at Massage Envy, minus the sales (which I hate- I'm no saleswoman). For almost 6 grand more a year, plus benefits. I looked up next semester's classes and decided there will be classes in the evening I can take, and accepted the job. Thursday, November 12th will be my last day at Massage Envy, and Monday, November 16th, will be my first day at Fortis.

As of right now, I'm surely not butterflies-in-my-gut-excited, but I do know it will be a great opportunity- financially and professionally. But I'm still scared to death.

Another major downfall is that I'll rarely get to see Denver. As of right now, his and my schedules are practically the same. With me starting at Fortis, they'll be opposite Mon-Thurs.(So I'll only get to see him Friday nights and Saturdays. Not sure how I'm going to handle that... He is my sanity and my happiness. I already miss him and I haven't even started the job.)

ALSO:

I've found career motivation.
A few weeks back, a good friend of mine from work mentioned that she wants to go into sonography (ultra sound tech). All of a sudden, I was stoked by the idea. I've always had such a fetish with prego bellies- how hadn't I thought of this earlier? I would have a blast being the sonographer at an OB or something else like Fetal Photos. So for the first time ever, I'm motivated to go to school for a specific career. I'm amazed, because I took this last semester off to do just that, and it happened. So now I'm planning on joining the DMS (Diagnostic Medical Sonography) program at either SLCC or Weber once I complete the prerequistes for it next semester. :] And as exciting as that is, I'm still nervous- that's a big decision to make.

I hate change.
But everyone else tells me it's good...
Hope this job turns out to be a good choice.. wish me luck. :]
