Shocked

Yes, don't worry--I have something else lined up!!! Wink
My last day at McGraw-Hill will be May 23rd, 2 weeks exactly from today.
I start a new job on May 30th, right after Memorial Day weekend. Very Happy

I like my current job and I truly enjoy working with my colleagues, but I can't stand working in NYC. I needed something back here in NJ. Additionally, I needed something that paid better, as I have a 3 BR, 2 BA house to maintain on my own...

Starting at the end of the month, I will be a Senior Copy Writer for a company that does marketing for Merck. I'm pretty excited! Very Happy

So, I just had to share my life-changing event for the day. Smile

Thank you!! Very Happy

Yes, it's Merck, the drug company. I won't be working directly for Merck, but I will be working directly with them.

It was so touching today, as I was telling my colleagues that I was leaving, they were all so sad and asked me what was going to happen this coming Halloween. I'm the unofficial in-house decorator, so they were bummed. Maybe I missed my calling...LOL! Laughing

Tell them you'd be willing to decorate for a raise Laughing

Congrats on the new job! I hope it goes well for you! I always freak out when I have to switch jobs.

Congrats Torrey,

I knew something must be up when you posted the new more mature photo last week. Laughing Laughing Laughing Very nice by the way.

Hope the new job turns out great for you.

THANK YOU! Very Happy

You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for the support!

Os--if I got paid to decorate, they'd be in trouble! I'd have the place all decked out 24/7! Laughing Tee-hee! I just took down my Cinco de Mayo decorations on Monday, and now there really aren't any good holidays for a while! Sad

Kathie--thanks so much for the compliments on my photo! Smile It's funny--all of those pictures have been taken by the same photographer. The guy that sits on the other side of the wall from me is a photographer on the side, so we did three different photo shoots here in the city.
