Back in the Saddle!

After a really long wait and 3 days of rollercoaster-like (meaning there were lots of ups and downs) "negotiations", I finally got a job offer today ... which I accepted! I am happy with my new job. It has met most of the criteria I have set and I am confident I can live with those with which I had to compromise. Also I am super excited to get back to work. I've actually gone shopping today in anticipation of my re-entry into the workforce. Oh and I'm already dreaming of things to buy with my first paycheck! I am getting ahead of myself but am just so excited. I am so looking forward to working on projects, interacting with people, wearing corporate clothes, attending meetings, facing deadlines and sitting behind a desk! A little weird, right? Yes, I know that in maybe 3 months time, I'll be wishing I could go on vacation and won't be as excited to go to work every morning. But for now, I am really giddy with the thought of working again. I am going to enjoy this for now and hopefully the feeling lasts as long as it can!

More details on my job tomorrow ... for now, I just wanted to share the good news =)
