Telling the Boss

So I did it. I told the boss. The day, leading up to the actual MOMENT I told her, was one of the most excruciating in my entire life. I was expecting the worst. And with my co-workers' past history of sharing their experiences with the "grown-ups" at work...I think I just wanted to prepare myself for the worst that could possibly happen.

I was NOT prepared for what actually DID happen.

My boss LEPT UP from her chair, squealed, and threw her arms around me. She told me to wipe my teary eyes and celebrate dammit. She mentioned that everyone was wondering if I had just "ballooned up" after the holidays. She even mentioned other, less travel intensive opportunities at the office. WOW. Was that a relief or WHAT! :)
