Eeek!

I got the job! I'm excited and scared all at the same time.

I had a lot of thinking to do over the last week. After I had the talk with my supervisor on Friday, she came to my office on Tuesday and told me that she had some plans in the works. She asked the librarian who took my previous position if she'd like to move to serials and she agreed. Then she asked my assistant if she'd like to take some reference hours to cover for the librarian taking over serials and she agreed. It was incredibly flattering that N. would make these moves for me. And they were good moves. If I decided to stay, that would be exactly what I would want. So, like I said, I had a lot of thinking to do.

I was making a list of pros and cons in my head. I was talking to friends and family and getting advice/opinions. Ultimately I decided that the only thing that really made me want to stay was fear -- fear of the unknown. That's not to say that there aren't things I will miss, and miss terribly. But moving away will be a great opportunity for me.

So, the admin from TSU called Thursday, confirmed the salary she quoted last week, and asked me to let her know Monday what day I want to start. I'm hoping it will be June 11. That will give me 3 weeks at work to finish up and a week off to get settled.

And now the fun begins: packing and moving!
