So a while back I was hit with a curve ball at work that just threw my world upside down. I'll tell this as a story as it has made a huge impact on my life and consequently my time here!
So I was texted by my Postmaster that he needed to talk to me about something but that it wasn't urgent. I called him and he said he needed me to come in so that he could talk to me, he then reassured me that it was nothing bad, and proceeded to ask me to come in when I could.
So I am obviously concerned because it is something "not bad" yet it needs to be discussed in person. So I go into his office later with some trepidation. The Postmaster is there as is the Supervisor. They request that I shut the door when I come in and then they just sit there and stare at me me for a minute.
FINALLY, they decided to explain to me that my Supervisor is going to be detailed to another unit for an unknown length of time. That left a hole in the management staff, and he wanted to know if I wanted to fill that vacancy.
So after all that worrying and concern, he broadsides me with an incredible opportunity. To which, of course, I accept.
Fast forward to a couple of weeks later and it has been utter hell, but things are finally starting to come together. He treated me to lunch today and let me know he felt I was doing good job and that he is glad that I accepted the offer. I have been working 12+ hour days every day since this all happened, and I was already working 10+ before that, so I haven't had much free time.
Another fun thing that has happened today is that a coworker that I haven't seen for several months came to visit and was just amazed at how much weight I had lost since we had last seen each other.
Today has been an excellent day and I am happy as can be!
