Today I received a completely unexpected phone call. This morning the phone rang and the caller ID indicated the U.S. Government was calling me…this was a little after 8 o’clock. I assumed it was just my local office calling, but I didn’t notice the area code and couldn’t fathom why they would be calling me since I was due for an upcoming shift in just a few hours. To my surprise, it was the Human Resources Department calling from Boulder, CO informing me that I had been selected for the new General Forecaster position here in Albuquerque! I wasn’t expecting a decision for another few weeks, so this really caught me off guard. I very happily accepted the position offer and received a congratulatory hand shake and confirmation from the boss later today at the office. It’s so relieving to have that monkey off of my back. I was really hoping for this promotion, not knowing when the next vacancy might come available. Being married to a meteorologist, there have certainly been challenges regarding employment in the same field and in the same city, but I have no doubt been blessed over the last couple of years. Although my career in the National Weather Service is still young with hopefully a long and prosperous future, this is a giant step toward meeting many of my career goals. Thanks to everyone for your support, prayers, and encouragement.
