Change is in the air
On Wednesday morning, Mr. Tldz had a second interview for a position he was interested in. Yesterday, less than 24 hours after the start of his interview, he was offered the job. He gave his boss 2 weeks notice today and will start his new job on August 4.
There’s not a work from home situation with this job, and it’s a longer commute than he has going in to his current job; so we won’t see him very much during the week. Agent Murphy will miss his Daddy. It will be a tough adjustment for all of us. But career-wise, things didn’t seem to be going anywhere with his current position. This new job comes with a better title, a substantial pay increase, and based on the few interactions he’s had so far, a better manager. So we think it will be worth it. And it will make us even more focused on getting the house ready for sale. We’ve known we’ll need to look for something bigger, but now we know what part of town to look at in order to ease the commute to this job while giving good commute flexibility to other areas of town that tend to have the sorts of jobs he’s interested in.
I’m so excited for Mr. Tldz’s opportunity, but I can’t help but have mixed feelings. I remind myself that we had a very special blessing to have him home almost all the time these past 6 months or so. In no way is that a typical situation for most folks, and now we’ll just be going to a more “normal” situation. Still, it will be hard. I guess I’ll finally be getting a long, full dose of what it is to be a stay at home mom.
