The best news I've gotten in six months

I have been at my job for six months. I like that the hours are normal and the people are nice and it's in D.C., but I hate the work. It has been a constant source of stress for me, both that I ruined my career by taking this job and that perhaps I was confused by my strong spiritual impression that this was the job for me. But whenever I wanted to quit, I prayed and felt like I should just stay and wait. It has become a daily test for me to trust the Lord and walk into the dark.

Anyway.

I had a meeting today with the head of our department--my boss' boss. My first day here he told me he wanted me working on this project that is his baby, and I've been doing it ever since. On Monday he set up the meeting with me and I was nervous because I needed to tell him I hated the project and don't plan on staying here after my obligatory two years, since it seemed this project was supposed to be my career. I was dreading the meeting all week.

Today I met with him. He says this area he has me working on is not for me. He asks me what I want to do. I say I want to do stuff more directly related to the law. He says he can make it happen. He gives me suggestions, tells me to think about it and meet back with him in two weeks with a game plan.

I've never felt so happy.
