Promotional

I've known about the possibility since late November, but as of this morning, at work, I have officially been promoted. Though it is one of those neat little pay-free promotions (as in, sans raise), not that I'm unthankful for the opportunity. It's a big step, provoking the comment to a colleague... failure is not an option, but it is a distinct possibility. Not an original statement, but a genuine sentiment.

Basically I was over one software project with about ten folks, and now I'm over three software projects with about forty people. Within minutes of the position being official (and I define official by my name being in the appropriate block on the officially distributed organization chart), I received notice of no less than five meetings I am to attend over the next couple weeks, that I didn't know about when I walked in the door this morning.

Challenges, they are awaiting.
