...9 years ago today my Husband and I went out on our first date. I can't believe its been so long!!
In other news there has been a bunch going on in my world!! 1st and foremost, I awarded a $100M contract on Friday that I have been working on for MONTHS!! I am super super excited to be done with it and hope to have a little calm at the office now that it has been awarded. Speaking of work, I have been presented with two very interesting promotion opportunities at work. The first is becoming a team leader in one of the other branches (so I won't be supervising my current peers). The nice thing about this option is that I stay working in my same location, and get to move back into a management role which I haven't been in since my last agency. The negative of this opportunity is that this branch has a large amount of seriously tedious work. The work they do is generally not high profile, and can be extremely time consuming. But the people I would be managing for the most part are great, and I think I would be able to make a positive change in their current environment. There is also a large need for training, which is something I love to do.
The other option is being in charge of a very special and high profile contract ($1B). The benefits of this option is obviously the high profile nature of it. If it succeeds, it would be a HUGE career booster. Its a different type of contract that we usually do which means professionally it will be really challenging. I was signed up by my boss to attend a 1 week training this week about this type of contract so once I learn a little more about it I will have a better feel for what it would entail. The downfalls of this opportunity is that I'd have to be on-site in a work trailer at the project location which is literally in the boondocks. I'd be the only one from my office assigned to the contract, which means I would be fairly isolated; and most importantly, I wouldn't have easy access to the wonderful subsidized daycare my work provides (which I fully intend to use should I finally get KTFU). It would still be available to me but because of where I live and where the project is located it wouldn't make sense to use it. The head of my office wants a decision by Wednesday. So we will see. I can't really decide.
In TTC news, I am dutifully taking my BCPs but have been spotting for about a week now which is really odd for me. I never usually spot between my periods. I will ask my Drs office about it when they call with the results of my B/W which I hope they will do tommorow!! (or I will be calling them!)
Hope everyone had a GREAT weekend!

9 years! I consider it your anniversary with me as well. :) These promotions sound like great opportunities. I vote for the one where you are managing people and still convenient for daycare. People management experience is guaranteed career booster and you will be FABULOUS as a manager.
I can't believe how fast time flies :D Congrats on both opportunities. It sounds like it will be a tough decision.
Congrats on the work opportunities - yeah, you! We are powerful career women, huh? HA! I hope the results are positive...and obviously call me if you want to talk about work - I just went through the same pro/con decision, so I understand the added layer of stress!
Congrats on both opportunities at work. I wish luck making the decision.
congratulations on work! having choices, what a great place to be. and congratulations on the 9 years...time flies when you're having fun.
