A Brand New Challenge

I have had many changes happen these last two weeks, and I am very excited, nervous, and scared!

I decided last September to look for another job, but to be a little picky with what I was looking for.  Well, the opportunity arose for me to apply for a position with a four-lawyer firm in Concord.  They practice the area of law that I currently work and love - probate and estate planning/elder law.  I faxed my resume over on March 19th, was called for an interview for March 24, was called for a second interview 15 minutes after I arrived home from my first interview.  That interview took place on Monday, March 29.  I left their office at 11:30, went home, and then to work.  At 2:00 I received an email requesting my references.  One by one, they called me to tell me that they had been contacted.  At 4:00 I was offered the position.  Talk about a whirlwind!  I gave my  notice to my employer of 13 1/2 years Tuesday morning.  I don't think the reality of what I did really hit all of us until Wednesday. 

There were many factors going into my decision, but I think the biggest was for the first time in my life, I felt I needed and deserved more.  I have never put my needs before everybody else's.  This job is going to allow me to grow, make more money eventually (:-) hopefully), and also removes me from a very unhealthy environment that I am, and have been in for several months. 

So on May 3, I will join the law firm of Flood, Sheehan & Tobin, in Concord.  YEAH!!!!

CONGRATS Martha!  You deserve to be happy!  I'm so glad you got the job and will be happy doing something you love.  The best part, I bet, is to not have to deal with the unhealthy environment you are in now!  I'm proud of you!

How did your current employer take it?

He was actually really good about it.  I don't think he was too upset.  On the other hand, the one person in the office I have had difficulties with is going to make my life a pure living hell for 4 weeks.  I am up for the challenge though!

Congratulations on your new job, Martha - and you snagged it at a time when they are so hard to come by.  You must have really impressed them -- understandably!!!

Martha, you continue to inspire me!!  You always have such a positive attitude, even when you are struggling.  I'm sure they saw what we all see, that you will be an amazing asset to their firm!  Best wishes on your new journey and congratulations!

thank you all.  I am so excited.  It is going to be a long month, but it will probably take that long to go through 13 years of stuff I have collected!!! 

It means so much to me to have everyone's support here.  I am truly blessed to have two great families!!
