I started a new job on Monday. It was with a company I've been working for, for the past three years, but in a different location. I was exhausted with the thought of proving myself all over again. I had established such a great routine at my old location. It was (I thought) perfect.
So I dreaded going to work on Monday. My boss was out of town and I felt at the interview I was hired not because she wanted me, but because a higher-up had forced her hand. Several of my boss' higher-up managers had wanted me permanently and I really felt that they weren't impressed with me. The person with whom I was supposed to work came in to the interview, asked me two questions and left abruptly. I did not have a good feeling, so it was with great trepidation I started work on Monday.
I am on a special project and the person I am directly working with is my polar opposite. He is right-wing Christian and I am left-wing atheist. It is absolutely incredibly unbelievably fabulous how well we work together. In the two decades I've been working, I have never ever worked with someone like him. He is slightly insane and totally brilliant. I feel like I'm in love again. Not in love like a romantic love (at all), but just like OMG, THIS is what people feel like when they work with someone who is talented and sincere and smart. I told him I felt that in the interview he was a bit disgusted with me and he said that he had asked everyone he knew about me and brought my name up to dozens of people (this is a very, very large corporation and I am a small cog) and he only heard good and he asked me two questions and I answered them correctly so he had nothing more to ask of me and left. Every single thing we have done this week, we have been in complete and total sync. We took the mundane and made it great (well, only in our heads for now!). I feel like we can actually read each others' minds at this point. After just a few days! I am so gushy and so totally HAPPY, I cannot even describe it. I went to work every day with a bounce in my feet. I felt ridiculous and silly, but so GOOD.
It is so incredible to work for someone dedicated and smart. It has been SO LONG. I had today off and I tell you if my co-worker had asked me to work for free today, I would have. I mean he has Jesus signs up and it did not even bother me!!! I just totally hope this lasts!
Oh. And I have gushed about him enough to everyone IRL. That's why I cannot anymore! Thank you for listening to me!!
