New Year, New Job

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to never work a day in my life.

Actually, it was to choose a job I love, which, according to Confucius, is the same thing.

Well, I did choose a job.

On New Year's Eve I was offered a position as the General Manager of an event center in town.  My job is to attract and coordinate events (weddings, etc...).

When I was first approached about the job in early December, I said I wasn't interested.  

At all.  

I was emphatic about it.

At the time (and, to a certain degree, now) I wanted to go back to a 9-5 job.  

No more nights, weekends...  

When I'm done for the day, I'm done.

This is not that job.

But, I get to continue doing a lot of what I've been doing the last 2+ years to promote tourism, and I really like a flexible schedule (when you have a 9-5 job, you kind of HAVE to be there by 9.  I hate that!).

So, I accepted the offer.  Signed all the papers on Friday and set up a booth at a bridal expo on Saturday, with no training whatsoever.

The best part is - I get to have all the fun of planning a wedding, without actually having to get married!
