Why don't you get a job?

{subject artist: Offspring song:Why don't you get a job?}

I admit that I've been trying to keep this under wraps a bit because I'm still gathering all of the details but I will tell you what I know so far.

1) I applied, interviewed, and was offered a job - yes, it's still with IHG.
2) I accepted it and will start on 1 Dec, although my soon-to-be boss along with my current boss have discussed having me split my time between the two teams while they phase me out of BPT. So I might still be around the office for a few more weeks.
3) This is a home-based position
4) This job will require that I travel to different hotels and train a group of properties on their systems.

Definitely excited for the opportunity. It's involves training (which I enjoy doing), traveling (which I enjoy doing), and a substantial raise (which I enjoy...oh...I mean....which I will enjoy getting).

With all that said, I haven't even let myself think of leaving those people that I've come to refer to as my IHG family (we even have a "family portait" from our trip to New Orleans. haha!)
I'm hopeful that between Facebook, softball, fantasy football, and parties at R&R's house, I will remain in touch with friends. But it just won't be the same not being able to turn around and shoot the breeze with Dan and Dan's Angels, or loiter in Janice and Jeff's area, or chat with Theresa chillin' in RP, and so many others I will miss having regular contact with. *sniff-sniff*

So there's the news.
