So, I've known for a few days about my job offer, but I was waiting for the official paperwork, (via email,) to come through, before I announced my news in work, to everyone. The paperwork was so slow coming through, I had only told my Manager, my senior Manager and two of my closest friends in work. By Thursday, my manager, and friend told me I really should tell everyone, they, (my team mates,) would be upset if I didn't tell them and just disappeared. Which I must add, was never my intention but I hate fuss over me, I have an aversion to being the centre of attention, (which I know is very un Leo like,) but that's just me, even my own birthday is slightly uncomfortable... because it's all about me.
Anyway, I told them... my team, and of course, news spread like wild fire around the department. Everyone was both happy for me, shocked and intrigued at how I'd come across the job. It was lovely though and I could not stop smiling for days.
I have since found out about my new contract and, the fact that I won't get my new contract for 6 weeks AFTER I start the new job, well I'm trying not to let that freak me out but let me tell you, my controlling self is not doing well with this revelation. What will my salary be? (It will be roughly what I'm on now but I need exact figures.) How many days holiday do I get? What will happen with my pension? Do they have flexi time? What exactly will my job be? Apparently, this is all on a need to know basis, and I don't need to know until 6 weeks in. Cannot tell you how far this is pushing me.
I'm still floating in a cloud of happy disbelief, I have two more weeks left in work, as I know it, before the next chapter begins.
