It's been a long while since I've been here - trauma so I'm back

[kel]

Well I went into work and read the guys proposal and I didnt read it the way my mom presented it.  I am starting to get irritated at the company where I want to work!  It is getting ridiculous!  So I am having a hard time praying because I cannot tell what God is doing though all this and I definitely dont want to make a wrong move.

My mom said if he came in as a partner she could back off.  Thanks for your warnings, girls.  I feel the same way.  The risk is too high to take her at her word and continue on with such enmeshment and anger.  I also think my health will get so much better without all the stress.

But I feel jerked around by the other company.  So jerked in fact that if I don't get the job, I am going to express to them my dismay over what I really consider their lack of professionalism..........................and for their lack of concern for the welfare of the store.......

I just got off the phone with another company.  I really wowed her.  I figured I didn't have anything to lose and I am not desperate.  In fact, SHE called me.  I posted my resume and she saw it.  So I didn't feel like I was going after them.  So I did a great job and I knew she loved me.  Then she called back and basically told me I could count on about $13,000 per year less than I am making now.  Plus this morning I was watching Joyce Meyer and she basically said "sometimes you need to change just so you can grow..."  Which confirmed that I really need to leave my job even if it looks like it might be better..................and go with my dream job - IF they offer it to me and at this point I am beginning to doubt it.  Once my friend told me - go where the peace is, Kelly, go where the peace is.....so I am waiting for that peace that transcends all understanding...........................I'll go there.

You never know.  It will be less pay at first.  But anything could happen down the line.  A foot in the door.  That's all you need.  Follow your heart and the good things just may follow you!!

Ok, so after I post this I am on my way for the 4th interview with my favorite company.  Not the new DM or RVP but the store manager from another store.  Gee Whiz, I started with a store manager, went to the DM, phone interviewed with the RVP, they redrew the lines and I feel like I am back to square one.  In with some others who are interviewing for the position.  Meanwhile, the DM is REALLY interested in buying my store and when I told him how much my mom wants for it, he freaked a bit.  But I told him she is not ready to walk away without a profit.....

So we will see.  Either this girl likes me or not!!!!

A lot is riding on this.  If I leave my mom will be more apt to sell.  The DM should have hired me when he had the chance!!

Hee hee, Kelly, it gets more interesting by the minute!!  When they finally hire you, maybe you should just take over.  You have more common sense than they do it seems!!!

Well, PP.....it IS interesting.  So I went to the interview and this woman liked me, too.  I asked her why they haven't hired me and it pointed right back to the RVP from New York that wanted someone who read fashion magazines and was glam!!  Well, now that she is out of the picture both this woman today and the DM both want me and are going to highly endorse me to the new RVP.  So I don't think I'll go after the second interview with this other company that called me (or maybe I will - just to keep all avenues open.....)

And I plan on talking to the man who is in negotiation to buy our store.  I really want to give him all the information and to tell him about the DM who feels led to buy our store.  He was talking about how he needed to do this..................it's weird, I want his job and he wants my job.  He doesn't realize how hard it is to run your own b usiness but boy he has years of retail experience!!  He could make it successful!!!

So I should know within a week or so!!

Keep your foot in the door.  As long as people want you keep your foot in the door, even if the money isn't right.  It is good experience to keep the interview process going.

I am glad things are humming along and hope the deal gets closed on the job you want so much. 

Isn't it interesting how lucky you are a decision wasn't made earlier since the NY woman wanted someone "glam".  PATIENCE Kell, PATIENCE. - your friend - GS

THANKS G.  I am still amazed at the timing of the whole thing.  The gal from yesterday said she has one more interview with someone who has rescheduled 3 Times.  I hope I get it.  I think I will.  I also hope the dm Will buy my store.  I told him how much my mom wants for it but I feel he it is Gods will He will make it happen no matter how far fetched it seems.
