Oh my, it seems I’ve forgotten to come post my big announcement here on the blog. Last week I received a promotion at work. I’ve gone from Booking Manager to Booking and Events Manager. I’ve also gone from supervising no one to supervising 6 someones.
Am I crazy to accept that? Maybe.
Am I overly excited to FINALLY be stepping into some big girl shoes at work? Heck yeah.
As the Booking Manager I managed the master calendar at work, handled client events (concerts, recitals, receptions, etc) and… yeah, that was it. It was a big job, but I had been doing just that job for 6 years. I needed something else. Now I’m doing those two things and also managing the special events for Walton Arts Center and running Front of House activities. I can’t even express my excitement in words.
I’ll be getting my hands dirty learning new stuff and I am loving it so far.
In other news, the Sweet Boy and I might be moving 11 miles out of town come August. We need to go see the house first but it comes with a drive way. A drive way is something I’ve learned to cherish in my 2 years at the house I’m in now. Don’t get me wrong, I will miss the heck out of this house, but I won’t miss the parking issues. It’s almost like I live in Chicago based on the parking alone. But I don’t. I live in Arkansas. I’d like to have a parking space.
Oh, and I’m 29. 29 year olds shouldn’t have to fight with 21 year olds for parking. Sorry, it just shouldn’t be that way.
