My Promotion

Hello,

Good News, I got promoted on Friday to Senior Compensation Analyst. A goal I had set out for in 2012, so check! Bad News I wanted to celebrate with all of you, my friends and I couldn't. So I'm doing it through a blog because it is the 21st century after all and how else do you celebrate with your friends from all across the country.

This is my second time being promoted in my life. First time I think I was around 24/25 and I was promoted from the Assistant Account Executive role to Account Executive role on the KFC account at DraftFCB. Gosh that seems like an eternity ago, doesn't it Jacks? Anyway, since then I've changed career paths, worked for four different companies, moved across country for a job and been laid off twice. So I would say I've come a long way and this is a sort of milestone for me. I just want to thank all of you for being such supportive friends through it all. I wouldn't be here without all of you in my life.

Now, I know Senior Compensation Analyst doesn't sound all that grand, but it does feel good. I'm not great at receiving positive recognition, I get kind of embarrassed, but not in front of people that I care most about like you.

So how did I celebrate, a couple of beers with Kate Wodder, Conor, her boyfriend and my boss, Keith, the guy who promoted me, I had to reciprocate with something. Then a whole bunch of couch time this weekend, boy am I getting old.Anyway, I wanted to share the good news.

Also, another one of my goals this year is to write in my blog at least once a month. I missed January, but I didn't write them until February, so hopefully, I will find some great stuff to write about. I look forward to chatting with you this year.

XOXO,
Kate
