I'll be Wearing a New Hat...

On Friday, February 1st, I was offered a job with Livingston County's Office of the Aging. I will be the Senior Nutrition Program Director. I accepted and will start February 25th.

I had seen the posting for the position in the newspaper back in mid December and was surprised to see it. I hadn't recalled every seeing a posting for a position like or similiar to this ever in Livingston or Monroe Counties. Another bonus was that they weren't requiring any certification in dietetics [a cert. that I am lacking]. So I talked the possibility of me submitting my resume/application over with Rick. You know me, analyze and analyze some more - what if this? what if that? Thank God, I am married to a patient man who can look past these sometimes annoying traits of mine. He actually sees the benefits in me being so obsessive - says that way we are usually prepared and organized! Like I said, Thank God!

So back to the job posting, it seemed as though it fit my qualifications perfectly. Almost too good to be true. I decided to give it a try with the philosophy of "you won't know if you don't try"! I interviewed for another "contracted position" that the County was interested in me for a few weeks ago and then for the posted position this past Monday.

The position looks to be very interesting and challenging. The Office of the Aging has an amazing reputation and the Director of the OOA is very respected from what I have heard. She will be who I report to. I will be responsible for all the Nutritional aspects/ offerings of the Office of the Aging.

I am excited to be back in my field of study and with reasonable working hours. It will be an adjustment for the family to have me working outside the home again and hopefully that will all go well, most days!
Feeling both excited and slightly nervous too!
