Holy Crap.
I just got a promotion.
I am now the Interim Director of Communications... I am talking to the Deputy Athletic Director tomorrow morning about the increased compensation, and the Athletic Director about where I'm headed... as in, at the end of the year, will I have the position in hand (provided I do a good job). I think it's a good opportunity for me... given that I have been here for 6+ years, I know the department/coaches/media really well... I don't have to start over somewhere new.
I'm excited, terrified... I don't know what to think right now. I have been so burned out for so long... I didn't think I wanted to do this. I have wanted to go home for so long... and now, I'm in charge. One of my friends just said to me "maybe this was meant to be." ... and maybe he's right... there had to be some good reason why I've been stuck here for so long.
I don't know what this means for me & my relationship... But I have to do what's good for me right now, I guess. But, hey, at least I'm in charge now, so I can take my vacation days whenever I damn well please!!
Holy crap.

This! Congrat Bri!!!
It is, but it isn't a huge change - it's essentially the same job, just with supervisory duties, and I am now the main point person for anything that goes on in the athletic department as far as media goes. So, for example, right now we're trying to get funding for a new football stadium - my boss has always handled all of that stuff (because it's a controversial thing, being a state school & all) & now that falls on me. So I will have a direct line of contact to the president's office for those kinds of things, and god forbid anything bad happens, I have to handle that with the media as well.
I have to wrap my head around all of this. I'm still not sure how I feel about everything right now.
Throw some of that good job luck over to me, please!!! =D

I can't help but be nervous for what this means for me & BF... especially with things still not great after what I told you all about last week. I would like to say that he will make Albany his home base from here on out, but I don't know that he will. He told me before that maybe our destiny isn't to end up in Maine, and that he would be wherever I am... but I don't know that he feels that way anymore. He also doesn't know what's going on with his job, so that's tough right now too.
Thank you all so much for the congratulations... I feel like I might need you all even more in the near future, whether it's job stress, relationship stress, or maybe even a breakup :-/ I LOVE YOU ALL!
