Finally, a minute to update my blog: Last Monday, I was offered the position and accepted it. First day on the job will be 8/28. The "bosses" had to take $ from 2 funds to meet my requirements, and I actually rec'd more than what I asked for. An incident that pushed me over the top was this: the Friday before I was offered the job and accepted it, I had 2 cardiology stress tests. In the second test, I was attached to an EKG, blood pressure cuff, IV (for the radioactive dye or whatever it was) for injection. I am on a treadmill, and all vitals are being monitored. I am watching the screens. The nurse on the right side of me wants me to walk/run and talk at the same time. Pulse rate is 124. She injects the dye. She asks me what I do, and as I am explaining it all, my pulse jumps up to 148. The nurse freeks, says she has to stop the test, pulse too high, too fast. They are checking vitals. I say..."Don't ask me about my job, and I will get my pulse rate down." I meditate and it goes right back down. And a light switch goes on in my head AGAIN, that if I stay where I am, the job will kill me. I am excited about the new job. It is high profile, very prestigious, lots of government people watching it...and can't wait to leave the old job!
