The promotion at work is finalized! I will no longer be doing billing, but will be working on special projects, internal audits, and system improvements which in many ways I was already doing except now I’ll have more time to focus on those things, I have a cooler title, and I’ll be getting paid more. Woo hoo!
As a result this means I can actually take vacation time during the beginning of the month which I haven’t done in six years. So come October we are taking a two week road trip to the East coast, a trip we had planned, and scrapped, over seven years ago.
Right now the general plan is to make stops in Pennsylvania (Hershey, and maybe Pittsburgh), Boston, Massachusetts, and Portland, Maine. We picked October because it’s our favorite month and the Fall foliage should be at its peak according to some websites I’ve checked.
If anyone has recommendations on places to stay, or things to see, feel free to comment or send me an e-mail. I’m so excited!
Congratulations!!! I like my job a lot more since I was promoted over a year ago, but the down side is that I feel like I can take less time off because we’re such a small team and one person being gone can cause a huge headache for my coworkers :(
