Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm...

Monday I sat down for a conversation with my boss about recent doings in the office and my workflow. It was a good conversation with little resolution beyond "I know you're working hard; keep going!" and a vague promise of "someday, we WILL have more support staff!"

Then yesterday, an email was sent from HR noting a new position in the Boston office for a support staff person. Jaws dropped! There was singing in the corridors! OUR CRIES HAD BEEN HEARD!

I'm being a bit dramatic here, but it really seemed almost impossible that we would see this happen anytime soon, due to budget concerns and now, the woes of the economy.

I just ended a 40-day period where a bunch of us collectively prayed for and encouraged each other toward big hopes and dreams. Having extra help at the office wasn't on the list of things I was praying for, but seeing this nigh-near impossible thing happen gives me hope that other nigh-near impossible things just might be around the corner.

Wonder what will happen next...
