'Tis the season...

... to change jobs during the busiest time of year!! I took the plunge and accepted a lab tech position in industry - of the seven years I've been working in biology, this is my first non-civil servant job. Before this I have worked for three state agencies and one federal agency. Pretty crazy considering I'm a libertarian, huh? Anyway, I decided to stomp on the what-if monster and just focus on my career!! So far (I've only been at my new job two days) I am loving doing benchwork again and feeling like an important member of a team again. Of course, I'm still in the honeymoon phase, so I'll report more on that once the newness buzz wears off...

I'm happy to see that three of my fellow adoption bloggers have recently been matched and two have their new babies home with them. This gives me hope that Kyle and I could finally become parents sometime next year (inserting the proverbial *knock on wood*). I'll admit it's been hard to have yet another holiday season approaching with no little one in sight. But, it's been a busy season and that is keeping me preoccupied. Santa, guess what I want this year??
