A little whining

OK, I'm just going to whine a little... after three weeks of basically wearing jeans and slippers, getting back into the skirts and stockings routine is NOT fun. Yesterday, it took three tries to get a pair of stockings on without putting my thumb through them. Today, I wore one of my most comfortable pair of shoes -- or so I thought. All I could think about by 4 p.m. was taking off my shoes. Out of respect for my new co-workers, I did leave them on, although I did consider it a personal mitzvah.

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled (Top Chef) programming ;)

Extra, extra... read all about it!

I've been keeping secrets, but that is finally over, so I can share at least some of the details! I was recruited for a new job at the beginning of January, and after a visit to the potential employer and a lot of thinking and soul searching, I decided to take the leap and accept the new job.

I'm very excited about this new opportunity -- the staff is very energized and excited about their work, and the VP that I'll report to is one of the good guys in my line of work. It's a chance for me to focus on the things I like and do well, with the support of a great team and some of my favorite vendors.

So, I've got a little less than three weeks to work at my current job, then I'm moving to the greater Newark, NJ area. (No, I'm not going to live in Newark, but I am going to work there.) I start my new job on St. Patrick's Day.

There's a WHOLE lotta cleaning and packing and painting and organizing to do between now and then...
