A Downer and then an Upper

So yesterday was my second interview at Ecos. It was with Barbara, the newly hired Executive Assistant to the COO who will be my supervisor, and Daniel (I think that was his name, it may have been David). It was a difficult interview - the questions were pretty challenging, mostly because many of them were situational and rather vague. I left the interview feeling pretty down about my performance, I didn't feel I was being very articulate and was afraid I had just screwed myself out of a job.

However, this morning brought some fantastic news. Kia called and offered me the position. I was and am so incredibly excited! My first day is next Wednesday. They offered me $13.50 an hour with a comprehensive benefits package (that I don't have to pay into!). I will be getting full medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance after 30 days. Plus a 401K after 90 days and they have an incentive program. It's perfect.

I really thought this was not going to happen, but it is and I am so incredibly happy! This is a whole new chapter in my life. I feel like things are finally starting to come together. I'm finally with the person I love, in a city I feel at home in, starting job at a growing company doing something meaningful in the world. Life is good :)
