Fly Me To The Moon

I guess I can announce it since I formally accepted the position last night...

In 2 weeks, I will become the Manager of Financial Planning & Administration for Continєntal Express (legally known as ExprєssJet)!

And my first official duty is to hire my own analyst!

Now I know I have been adamant about leaving Houston this time around (for fear of being stuck in Houston my entire life), but I think this is a good compromise. I actually told my parents a couple months ago that I would only stay in Houston if I could work for an airline like Continєntal, which would give me the free flight privileges so I could travel. I never would have guessed that this would really come true.

I'm going to leave the sad goodbyes for a later posting. For now, I would just like to say the following things:

1) A big thanks to Shervin who told me about this position (not once but twice) and convinced me to apply months later, after I originally told him "there's no way I would get a manager level job."

2) Andrew - you better watch out. Flight privileges means that I could potentially be in LA every weekend. Remember how you said it might be nice to have me as a pet?

3) Everyone pray for Alina - she will need it as the remaining indentured servant in the JPMorgan Private Bank Capital Advisory Group. I'm going to try and convince you to jump ship too.
