new opportunity...

today while at work my former manager emailed me to let me know that a position on her team has opened up. she told me to forward my resume to her manager and let her (former manager) know if i'm interested so she can give me a strong recommendation. wow! i applied for this position 4 weeks ago, along with my now former team lead. she got the position and i didn't. it was no big deal. i realized maybe it wasn't the right time, maybe i needed to stay put in my position for a while longer, maybe i needed to keep working on my relationship with my current team mates. so getting a heads up from jan (former manager) was unexpected. the thought of her putting in a strong word for me is even more unexpected...but makes me proud in some way to realize that she knows how hard i work at my job.

so...new position = possible pay raise + better benefits!! what am i going to do? apply? or not? i don't know (is it crazy of me to not know what to do). the obvious answer would be apply. but i'm finally starting to get along with my teammates and its been a long time coming. we would all still be working in the same area, just one different teams. i guess i should pray about it, weigh it out more and then do what feels right.

You will see them, right? I mean, if you are going to be able to advance where you are then, I say apply. Especially if you are getting more money and better benefits.
