Thanks to all of you for your congratulations and for your support over the years.  I'm one of those people who only posts when I feel I have something to contribute, although I check the boards every day.  I have learned A LOT from this site, just from reading and "listening" to you all.  It has definitely helped.  

You know, they could have offered me an administrative assistant position, and I would have jumped at it.  When the boss first told me that they had given her permission to hire an assistant and was I still interested (we had discussed this several times over the last few years, with me gently letting her know that I would welcome the opportunity if it ever arose), I assumed it was just going to be an administrative assistant.  When she developed the job description and showed it to me, I was bowled over!  There it was - a job to be done under limited supervision, with tons of things for me to learn and do on my own and be responsible for.  It just blew me away!  

To give you some perspective, I've been wishing for something like this for a good 6 years or more.  So it was definitely a long time coming.  

Then again, it was worth the wait.  I've worked really hard during this time learning company financial policies and developing my relationship with this boss.  So, maybe it is good that it took so long because now my position is so much more than I thought it would be.

Thanks again for all of your congrats - I am flying high right now!!!!
