And the lack of consideration in not letting you know.

I'm sorry Kel, but I agree you're better off not working there.

OC - there is so much about the way the church bookstore guy treated you that is just wrong and very painful.  First he is lieing to you b/c you already know that he offered the job to that lady who was in your store so he wasn't always looking at the part-time employee PLUS why would you want to work for such a small-minded person who doesn't even see the HUGE potential for what is possible.

It actually hurts to even read how he treated you.  But it might help for you to remember how important it is to learn this now.  The furniture store sounds great to me.  I kept my mouth closed but from the beginning I thought it sounds good.

Yeah, don't these people know that when you have a church that is exploding you need to try to keep up??  My h is mad enough to maybe even stop attending there...

The furniture store is good but it is every single weekend..........without exception unless you have a wedding or something.......the District Manager position is travel but the furthest away place is 3 hours and you go there one day every three or four weeks...I like the idea of not being stuck inside somewhere.....I would hate a job where I sat behind a desk....

But thanks for saying that.  I know I have that job.  I know it.  I just hope that I do not take it and then the economy turns even worse and no one buys furniture.  Plus she was going to put me in the sofa area but they have too many people so they are putting me in bedroom furniture...

I hope you will have options.  This person is the Regional Sales Manager for what type of business?  Is this the cosmetics counter job?

Good Luck, OC

It will fall into your lap when you least expect it!

I was job hunting when I took D and left the alcoholic. It was 2 months, but one day the noon news was on and in the middle, jobs were posted; one was right up my alley.

Happened to be a day Joe had come to see D and me and we were staying at Mom's having liinch, but Mom would not turn off the news for the Queen of England. (She and I both, at the kitchen table, were keeping one eye on the TV and one on lunch and company.)

(I got the job.)

No, GS, they offered the job to another for the Cosmetic Counter Manager.  My mom and I went in there on Sunday to buy me a new coat for my birthday and I saw them training the new manager....a blonde!!!  Brunette abuse!!!

No, this job is for a company which goes into hospitals and takes baby's first photo.  It was ironic because we had just bought some for my daughter and her new baby.  Then i read it was in Omaha and Lincoln and Cedar Rapids and Des Moines.  I live in Des Moines, grew up in Omaha, went to college in Lincoln and have family in CR.  I think this is the perfect job for me.....

I will not know until next Monday

Well, I am having a melancholy day......the gal who interviewed me for the District Manager position for the baby photography company told me to call with any questions.  Her email was on the card so I dropped her an email and thanked her for the interview.  I also asked her a couple questions.  She has not responded which makes me believe she is blowing me off because they are leaning towards another candidate.  I just do not know.  I have had so many disappointments.  I will start the furniture sales position on Monday but I am not as excited about that as I am the other.......I just wish God would bless me with the perfect job so I can not look back...

Hey Kel, it's Saturday...maybe she's doing other things???

If it turns out that Monday is your day for a new chapter...go into that furniture business with joy in your heart.

You are free.
