Well it's official. My job is on the job board now for all to see and apply for - it closes next week and I'm working on my application. It's a wonder they didn't just tap me on the shoulder but I guess that's just the process. I'll be relieved once I submit it but then the waiting game begins. It feels weird having to apply for a job that you've been sitting in for almost 3.5 years, 2 of those as a contractor.
