The other thing is

[petronia]

I got a promotion, or rather I got a somewhat different job at the same company. So I am currently wrapping the one up while trying to get a head start on the other (this involves meetings. Lots and lots of meetings. It's a boss-level job, though I am not specifically the boss of anyone).

So, different home and different work in the span of three months. XD; My instinct is not to announce these things -- I actually hate how "life changes" are supposed to be the subject of social bulletins; not other people's, but like if I got married or moved to California it would occupy enough of my time/spoons without OHGAWD having to make a big deal of it, my social life is supposed to be a break from my life life -- but I thought I'd try, yanno, not being a weird person for once.

Congratulations!

Heh, my mother is always asking me what news I have of my best friend, and I have to explain to her that we don't actually talk about what's going on in our lives because what's the point? Instead, we talk about games and J-dramas...

I dunno, announcing the Life Change was easy. Except then, it's suddenly two months later, and I'm just coming back to the Internet for anything other than Facebook and a couple of this summer's series. And have what, two months of other people's lives to catch up on!

And, again, hey, you signed up for this too! And now they're actually taking you at your word. Busted!

Suspect the way I subconsciously feel about it is, if you announce a new job only to get fired within the month, it would be doubly awkward and annoying. Better to wait until you've been there a whole year, at which point it is old news and does not need to be announced at all, so either way you win! (Extend logic to apartment, relationships, health, etc.)

The money is sweet, not gonna lie. XD But more importantly I was getting bored at the previous job, so the invitation to apply came around at an opportune time.
