A Promotion

Monday morning my manager (a woman I've met exactly 1 time) summoned me into her office. My Team Manager was out on vacation for the second half of July, so I didn't think too much of the meeting. When I got there, she said that my TM had previously mentioned that I was interested in a particular position with the company; she wanted to know if that was still true. I agreed that it was true. (In fact, I just applied for an opening in June, but did not get chosen.) She explained that a position had opened up and that my name had been mentioned several times, so she just wanted to find out if I was still interested. Yes, of course.
At this point, I thought she was going to encourage me to apply for it. I thought it was a nice gesture, but with our current house/moving situation, I had not yet decided if I would do so.
Then she started providing the few details that she knew. The TMs I would be working for, the date I would move, the date the new team starts. I'm pretty sure I just sat there looking clueless, but excited when it hit me that by saying "yes", I had apparently just accepted a promotion!
Anyway, the title is Technical Resource. Basically, every month or so, a new team or two of associates (anywhere from 8-20 people) starts with the company. The Tech Resource assists their Team Manager(s). I'll do things like assist in training, answer lots of questions, coach them on concepts/procedures, QAP their work, etc. Most of you probably don't care about the actual details, so I'll leave it at that. :) The most exciting thing is that my day-to-day job will be COMPLETELY different than it is now. And don't get me wrong, it's not that I dislike my current position, I just think this is going to be SO much better. Also, I'm ready for a change!
So the team doesn't actually start until Sept 10th, but I will be moving August 24th...to get ready for them, I guess. This afternoon I met one of the TMs that I'll be working for; she seems very nice. She said that 2 associates were brought on as early-hires and she's decided to let them start an early training with the Flex department next week. Since she is still managing her current team, she may have me work with them as early as next week. She's supposed to let me know on Monday, as that isn't confirmed yet.
Since my TM was out until yesterday, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone at work. They wanted her to be aware before the word got out. Anyway, she announced it to my current team today, so now it feels more real. I've been wanting this position for a while, so I am VERY excited!! I can't wait to start!
