New Job

I have just accepted a new position in my office. I will now be representing the Department of Family Services which will include child support enforcement, terminations of parental rights, child welfare cases, and any legal issues which may arise from this state agency. I am very excited about this new opportunity especially since it will mean more litigation, which is what I truly enjoy. However, acceptance of this new position is not without trepidation, while I know I can do it change is always difficult and this position will definitely mean more travel around the state and less time with my family. So, here I am again struggling with this balance. I feel that this is a good decision for my career, but whether it will be good for my family is yet to be seen. Here's hoping!

So did you change divisions? That's exciting. I'm sure you'll make career and motherhood mesh. Someone has to or else men will rule the world.

I am changing divisions. Starting on July 1. I will be in the Human Services Division under Robin. So, at least I will still be in the same office. We scheduled my first trial yesterday. It won't be until Feb., but it will be a serious trial lasting 5 days! I'm already excited about it.
