As of April 3rd, I will be General Manager of a spin-off company to the one I currently work for. Right now, I am Executive Administrative Assistant to the VP of North American Operation (the VP's right hand for short.) My boss approached me last Friday and offered the new position to me, asking me to think about it over the weekend. We had a meeting today, and I accepted.
I have only been with my company since mid-September, so for him to offer me such a dramatic promotion totally floors me. I am very good at what I do now, but to think I've proven myself in that very short span of time for him to consider me as his first choice for this new company is a real pick-me-up. Compared to a year ago, when I was wallowing in the depths of a deep bipolar depression, this is HUGE for me, and I just wanted to share my great news with everyone.

 I just wanted to say thank you to each of you who posted. I am still in a bit of shock, but the excitement and anticipation are starting to take over (yes, i'm a bit hypo-manic, but nothing I can't handle). This has been a busy week of planning, since we take possession of our new office March 25th, I have to have it totally ready to go by April 3rd, when the phones start ringing (UGH!) I forgot how much "stuff" it takes to start up an office!!! Azalysa -- a year ago, I too was on a medical leave from work with horrible, horrible people, and I thought I would never be able to function in a full-time job ever again. With a lot of patience and a lot of positive thinking (I control this, it WILL NOT control me!) I started full time with my current company after being reduced to tennis shoe slime upon my return to my prior job (ask JMo, Jan and any of the vets, they all know the story!) only to get laid off two months after my return. It's amazing how fate works sometimes..... It may seem bleak at times, but a lot of dealing with mental issues is 'mind over matter'. I know that sounds easy to say, but I'm BP1 and I refuse to let the demon win this round of poker. This is the hand I was dealt, and I'm gonna bluff my ***** to make it. As long as you can do your best to try to stay positive, find the right med combo AND DOC, your demon doesn't have to win either. (((((hugs))))) I know how you feel! Keep your chin up, it does get better if you let it! Rayna - Good to see you too hun!  Dolfin
