Falling Into Place
Sometimes there’s all this mystery on blogs about special, in-the-works projects: “I have something really awesome going on, but I can’t tell you about it. Sorry!” That’s not irritating at all, is it? I didn’t think so.
Fortunately, I won’t keep you in suspense. I got a job.
Sorry, that wasn’t quite right. I got a job!!!
I won’t go into great detail, obviously, but it’s in a suburb of Boston, overseeing the libraries at two elementary schools in a lovely little district. The schools are gorgeous, and I’ve been very impressed with the principal, the current librarian, and the teachers I’ve been introduced to.
I am absolutely thrilled, and I can hardly wait until August to start.
I am so deeply relieved about how this has fallen into place. It means we know what general area of Boston to live in (if I hadn’t had a job, we could have moved to a suburb on one side of Boston and I could have gotten a job 15 miles outside of Boston in the other direction, and then I’d be dealing with a really long commute). It means I can spend my summer working on lesson plans and programming for the year, instead of applying for jobs, interviewing, and writing cover letter after cover letter.
But mostly, I can’t stop thinking that, come Fall, Bart and I will be living in our dream city, both with our dream jobs. Life is sometimes just too good to take in.
Yippee! You're living the dream! Are you sure you can't stop in Columbus to visit us on your way out? I'm thrilled at your employment success and so soon!
Congrats! How absolutely exciting for you guys. Good luck selling your house and getting moved (I hate packing!)
Congratulations! Welcome to the professional library world!
That's awesome, so when are you moving? Congrats
Congratulations! I had a little excitement rush for you so I can't imagine how excited you are. That job sounds like a dream. I loved my elementary school librarian and for a while I wanted to be just like her. How exciting.
Yea! We are really happy for you!
Congratulations!!! Happy for you guys!
Yay!!!!!! I'm so excited for you that I'm breaking my one exclamation point rule. Congratulations!
Sounds EXCITING!!! You will LOVE Boston (cept the fact that you don't like cold) 🙂
Really though, we LOVE it here…I'll email more info. And let me know if you have questions…I have lots of people i could connect you with.
FUN!!!
I promised it would all fall into place, didn't I? 🙂 Yay for you guys!
Way to go Janssen! Have a wonderful summer doing just what you want. What a blessing.
YEA!!!!! Congratulations- that is WAY exciting- I LOVE when life just works out that way- and there's nothing like living your life in limbo- ahhh annoying- so I'm excited you can plan accordingly (where to live, lesson plans ect.) woohoo!
Congrats!!!!!
YAY! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!
CONGRATS! I'm so stinking excited for you (and also insanely jealous. Why am I not qualified for such an awesome job??) Yay for you!
That is very exciting news. Congratulations!
How absolutely wonderful for you, Janssen! It's nice to hear such good news.
Hooray and welcome to Boston!
