Been Too Long
Since my last posting was about my new job, you might have guessed that it's keeping me pretty darn busy. From January to March, I was completely swamped and working way more hours than I had planned. Since mid-March things have slowed to a more reasonable pace and now I'm just spending way too much time on Facebook and Babycenter, LOL.
This month, Paul also started a new job with the federal government. I'm so proud of him as he's been working toward this for years. Especially in this economy, it's quite a relief for him to finally have some job security.
Jacob turns 10 months next week; hard to believe we're almost at a year! He's developed such an adorable little personality and charms everyone at "school". He's got two teeth, and always seems to be working on the next one though it hasn't poked through yet. He's rolling all over the place, and sliding and scooting backward. He gets up on his knees and rocks, but no forward movement as of yet. He'll take his own sweet time :)

My Dream Job
Funny how it works that these layoffs always seem to turn out for the best. I was laid off by Google in the acquisition of DoubleClick back in Spring 2008. Laid off at 7 months pregnant; I was shocked. However, I quickly realized that this was a great opportunity to stay home with my little peanut. It's been a wonderful 6 months of tons of Mama and Jacob time.
I wasn't even looking for a job when I was contacted by a friend from Right Management last month. I got to know Right when I was laid off from TNC back in 2007, and almost got a job with them until the funding for the position was cut. This was exactly the field that I wanted to break into -- career coaching. Well, lo and behold, now with the economy tanking and thousands getting laid off, Right's business is booming and they're hiring. And they have the PERFECT job for me -- part-time home-based Career Management Consultant.
I'll get to work from home so I don't have to worry about spending time commuting or getting dressed up. It's part-time so I still get to be with my peanut every afternoon. It's good enough pay to justify the cost of part-time daycare. And it's exactly the direction that I've wanted to go in with my career.
YIPPPEEEE!!!
