Working Girl

Well, I'm entering the workforce again. Tomorrow. I have been trying to avoid getting a job since I got married, but I knew the day would come eventually. Starting tomorrow I will be the new Marketing Director at eFileCabinet. (I actually don't know if my title will actually be Marketing Director, but I'm sticking with that until I hear otherwise.) For some of you, that company name may sound familiar. Yes, that is where I was employed when I met my dear husband. I was the Events Coordinator for 2 years, then got let go do to downsizing a little over a year ago. The current Marketing Director quit yesterday and the CEO immediately thought of hiring me. He knew I would never come back and work there until she was gone (we didn't get along to say the least) and seems genuinely excited to have me back. I know he is panicked because they have a huge product launch on the 23rd. Luckily, I know the product pretty well, so things should transition pretty smoothly.

When I got laid off last year, my job responsibilities mostly got shifted over to marketing, so I will still be doing all of those tasks, among more marketing focused assignments.

Since Kevin still works at there, they are putting my on a 3-month trial basis, just to make sure there aren't any problems. Kevin couldn't be happier. He gets to see me A LOT more, and we can pay off all of our debts and start saving money. We get to carpool, so we get to save even more money!

I think this will be a really good experience. I can't believe how perfect everything seems to be working out. I feel incredibly blessed.
