The New Job

Yesterday I accepted a job offer from Excel Photo, a professional photographic processing lab. I am going to be their next Network Administrator. I am very excited! It is very obvious that God led me to this position. There were so many “random coincidences” that led up to it.

Yesterday I gave my two weeks notice at my current job. It was very hard to do. I love the people that I work with and this is not going to be easy for them. We are a very small office and now 3 of the 6 people that will be there when I leave have worked there for less than 6 months (1 has only been there a week).

I enjoyed the people that I worked with and being able to see the results of my efforts immediately. I really enjoyed helping members of the Credit Union. It is very difficult to leave that.

However, I am leaving it to go back into the CS/IT field. I will be supporting a 90+ computer network as their only IT person. The possibilities for growing and learning are tremendous. I will get to build computers, repair computers (fixing software and hardware), network, program, and do web development. All this at a photographic processing lab. I can’t think of a better match of my skills and interests that this job.

Thank you to everyone who helped along the way! Kathy, for first e-mailing the job link, Krista, for the encouragement, Ben, for recommending me for the position, and everyone else who prayed and encouraged me. Thank You also to God, because this is so obviously His provision.

So, I am excited, terrified, happy, sad, and still in shock. Wish me luck. These next 2 weeks are not going to be easy for me.

This is awesome to hear. I'm happy for you, and happy that it matches your interests so well. The next two weeks are going to be awesome for you I know it. I have been in the place you are at, and it is exciting but at the same time scary.
