something good will come our way/maybe this good thing's gonna happen today

amazing how something unexpected can change your plans.
when i got to work today, there was word that the big man wanted to talk to me. he offered me a lead position. i've been hoping for this since i got there, because it means 40 hours a week and a 75 cent raise. it may not help monumentally, but it can help. and i was talking with a girl i work with, vaguely telling her my situation- and she said maybe it was fate's way of telling me not to leave NY yet. i don't believe in fate, but it's definitely one of many things that have been pushing me to stay until July at least. Some of my friends, even my mom had suggested I do this, give it a year and then decide. And on top of that, there is The Crush. And for once, I'm talking about a crush who has a crush on me... I've spent the last week, since our pre-date, trying not to let myself get too involved... but it's just another thing that's happening to me right now, something possibly good that's on my plate-

it's scary, but i'm going to roll the dice and take these risks. New York is stuck with me for at least another six months.
