update from a whirlwind

[fox]

About a month ago, a few of us went for coffee between Christmas concerts and in the course of the conversation about networking and jobs and whatnot one of my fellow singers mentioned that a friend of hers works at an organization related to the one where I've been working for 10 years and is trying to hire someone there to do what I do and long story short, today I gave notice and in two weeks I start at that related org for approximately twice my current salary, better medical insurance premiums, and an office with a window? It's a lot to process and it's all happened really fast and I'm very sad to be leaving ellen_fremedon and the rest of my team, but because the orgs are related I think there's a decent chance I'll still see a lot of them and everyone has been super encouraging and happy for me. I'm sort of hoping in the next couple weeks I go back to sleeping soundly and experiencing less digestive turbulence.
