I feel like I have two lives these days -
Public Life: where no ones know Mike + I have broken up + as far as most of my friends know, I am planning to live in Connecticut until who-knows-when.
Private Life: where I am once again single (+ confident in being so) and will be moving to LA in oh, about six weeks time.
WOWZA. Lots for a girl to handle. I'm doing okay with it though, honestly.
To catch you up on the work front, I was officially offered the position I had proposed to my boss a couple of months ago, which I gleefully accepted. Same pay (which going from NY to LA is in effect like a raise because of the lower cost of living, yippee), the responsibilities I had requested and more (which have me managing the Dallas, Texas region on up to Montana - you read that right, Nicole!!!), and I get to mainly work from home...my home in Los Angeles! Yahoo...couldn't have worked out better on that front, if you ask me.
The move is happening in January. They are still trying to fill my position here in New York, hence cannot give me an exact date, but the position I am filling in Texas will be open and ready for me to step into as of the last week of December. So we're playing a little balancing game at the moment, but it will be sorted out soon.
Meanwhile, my job change affects two of my other lovely coworkers (taking a few of their state responsibilities from them), so I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that when they get the news today from my boss, that they will not be resentful of me... I feel badly for that one.
Mike + I put in our apartment release request yesterday, so we officially will no longer pay rent in Stamford come January 27. I should be on the West Coast by then, anyway, but that is the date I will be financially not responsible for the rent here.
So gosh, I don't know when it will officially become public that I'm turning in my Metro Card and heading back to sunny Southern California. I am trying to put off for as long as I can making it official about me and Mike, simply because I hate sharing those sorts of details with work (we're all Facebook friends), and I certainly hate having Facebook people that you aren't really close with anyway, making all sorts of "omg what happened???? i thought u were so in luv!!" comments. You know the ones.
So once again, I am grateful to have this private little forum to share the ups and downs and private things with. :)

First off, big time congrats - I'm so glad to hear the job situation worked itself out! I am completely jealous of your 'work from home' future.
Secondly, I totally understand what you're saying about the whole facebook drama crap. My advice, just hide your 'relationship' status part on there (you can make it so only you can see it). Tell your friends and important people, and who cares about the rest
I'm happy for you that you're finally going be be HAPPY again...you're taking the steps you need to, even though they're extremely difficult. I know it's hard to share things like that on Facebook...maybe you can talk to your coworkers individually so they understand a little better about what's going on? Just a suggestion :)
And I about fell out of my chair when I saw the word Montana written on there :) :) :) This makes my heart HAPPPYYYYY!!!!! What stores/locations/cities do you cover?
Can't wait to hear about your new adventures and things coming up...keep your chin up and keep on smilin'! Love you!
Congrats on the job news! That is very exciting for sure! :)
I have to agree with Chelsea on the facebook status thing. Hiding it may be a good idea for now. I removed mine completely so only people I'm close to know if I'm seeing someone or not....and of course, other bloggers :)
Girl, I haven't commented in FOREVER. So much has changed for you. Good and bad. I'm thinking of you, and am glad you are coming to the WestCoast, although somehow I'm sad you guys broke up and all and life is kind of like "crazy" on your side of the world. Heck, you should blog on my blog...after all it's a crazy little world sometimes. :) Jokes aside, I'm thinking of you and wishing you all the best...and I AM BEYOND happy you have goals to look forward to. CA awaits you that's for sure!
