JOB UPDATE

I got it.

: )

Working on details of when my first day will be.

Also working on details of celebratory happy hour (probably early next week).

Thanks, all, for your tremendous support and good wishes, and MOST especially to my crack team who helped me craft that great cover letter.

They won't be able to read this for several weeks, probably, as they are traveling, but a deep debt (um, pun intended) of gratitude to my mother and stepfather who recognize, appreciate and support my desire to move into this kind of work and are willing to help me through the transition.
