I started my new job on October 26, just several hours after I returned from Europe. I wanted this job more than any other jobs I was interviewing for and/or even briefly considered. However, I was hoping to hear back from someone else.
On Wednesday afternoon, I finally received a message I had been waiting for three weeks: yes, you can start coming to Ferris, and we will discuss everything when you are here. I knew that it “should have happened,” because a resident agreement landed in my Inbox two weeks earlier along with the WiFi login, but I was waiting for this “you can come.”
I’ve admired everything that’s been going on at Ferris since I stepped in there for the first time in March, and I feel lucky to be part of it and to contribute my ideas to what is being developed there. It feels dreamy each time I walk in. I am surrounded by the smartest people, both at my job and at Ferris, and I can’t believe I lived without meaningful conversations for so long. I just hope that things will stay the way they are now. I am definitely “in the right room.”
