So I got promoted this week to manager (nee research analyst). My boss sent out an email announcing it, and said some very nice things about me. Co-workers, too, were very positive and congratulatory.
It's weird because I didn't see it coming, and am totally stoked about it but still a bit nervous cuz I've had some horrendously bad managers in the past and holy crap I want to avoid doing what they did!
That said, my current boss is really an excellent manager, and so if I can learn from him then I think I'll be in pretty decent shape.
Other updates:
* Got my hair cut short again (cute!)
* Going back to DC for a few meetings next week (yay!)
* President Obama
* Discovered a fun site called Geekologie.com (Note: adult and potentially offensive content on that site, read with healthy funny bone)
* Really digging on this bass thing, hoping we can play a party or gig soon
Off to give sauteeing squash a go for the first time. If I can't get it to be tasty with butter and salt, I'll never like it.

a) congrats!
b) wanna meet up while you're in DC?
c) about the managers? I HEAR YOU.
Congratulation Liz! I think you'd make an outstanding manager. You have the "reality check" qualities while still keeping the drive to get things done.
Your first "team building" should have something to do with the Sounders :)
