Just had to share! I was really nervous taking my promotion, worried that I wouldn't be able to maintain the minimums required. But my team is totally rocking!

Since I left my "probation" period (month of October), as well as in August, we have made the minimums each month, this month with 9 days and many more shows to be submitted to spare! I'll be sending out an email to my team, but I am just really stoked that things have come together so well for my team so far!

Thanks for letting me "toot" my own horn!!

I thought the same thing and started laughing out loud to myself in my empty kitchen.

Seriously, though, that's awesome NikkeD!! I was worried about the same thing when I promoted to director, so I know what you mean. Way to go! It only gets easier and less stressful as time goes on. :D

Thanks y'all!I'm off to bed...I seem to have managed to catch a cold (or did it catch me?), after having the stomach flu over the weekend...YUCK!

Thanks for all the well-wishers...I purposely tried to make the headline a little funny to give us all a giggle tonight.

"See" you tomorrow!
 
Well you certainly accomplished that, lol.

I was so distracted by laughing that I forgot to tell you
 
Congratulations. Great work.
