I Can Kiss Reception Goodbye!

Well, for now at least...

As of next week, I am temporarily being promoted to an admin assistant while one assistant goes out on medical leave for 6 to 8 weeks! The even better news is that, provided I don't screw up, there's a good chance I'll be able to (quoting my boss) "transition into a permanent admin assistant role!" Yeah, ok, I'm super excited. Granted this is not a huge leap in terms of a career move, but to me, anything that gets me out of the reception rut is a good thing. Please cross your fingers that I don't screw up. I need this to go well. The VP I'll be supporting is a high-level, intense, German guy. He's generally in a good mood and tends to be humorous, but I'll get to see the bad moods too. My boss cautioned me to "keep a thick skin" when it happens. WHEN it happens, not IF. Great. I suppose in order to KEEP a think skin, I'll need one to begin with. Can I buy this somewhere?

In equally exciting, somewhat related news, John's boss may be sending him to a conference in Nor Cal in his place later this month. My understanding is that it is five days of hands-on instruction on how to install/configure solar systems. This would be such an amazing opportunity for him. Cross those fingers one more time that he really does get to go.

All in all, this week has been phenomenal for both John and me!

OH, and I get to see BTE in 2 weeks! You know that never hurts.
