So until today I had not heard of a lateral promotion. It was explained to me that it is equal to my current position but is a change of job duties. This is nice, I receive my same pay but have no staff to deal with, nor do I have to worry about meeting the expectations of the state. This takes a HUGE load off my shoulders too. I am going to be the accounting technician. I will have a lot of numbers to deal with, not my favorite thing but it will be a rather repitious job, well I will be learning a system and then using it with a variety of numbers and such. I am actually looking forward to this. I can actually get paid for the number of hours I put in and not necessarily be putting in WAY more hours than I am paid for.

I love my department but it was getting to be WAY too much for me and my stress levels were WAY too high too.

 

So wish me luck in this new area of my career. My Executive Director mentioned returning to school to me while talking to me about the position. I was part way through my degree in business management. Things are seeming to look soooo much brighter for us. I think the stars have finally positioned themselves to make positive things happen for us. WONDERFUL!!!!!
