Hi All!!  Well, this is how it all played out......I started at the furniture store this last Monday.  I called in sick to worik.  They let me off at noon so I went into work and told them my headache was better.  No word from the baby picture taking company.  So I sent my mom and the rest of the management team telling them I would continue to work part time at the store until the end of the year (doing this because the training pay at the furniture store is not enough to get by on for twelve weekis!!)

Then yesterday I got a Dear John email from the baby picture taking company.  The only thing that makes me feel good is he said it was a very difficult decision but they went with someone with more experience in that kind of job.  Then I have to admit I was relieved that I would not be traveling all the time.

So I talked to my mom and she was nice about it.  She told me I had to do what I had to do. 

I had such a pep in my step yesterday that I went to Jazzercise.....I am happy.  I cannot wait.....

Then both my kids told me if I start making the big bucks at the furniture store, maybe then I can consider leaving my husband......although we have been getting along pretty good and he is drinking quite a bit less......but we will see what happens when I am working all weekends...............

Thanks for listening and being there for me.........I think I have jumped...!!!

I wish you well, OC

I often, if ever, play my cards in advance, then I don't have to explain why I had a bad hand. The JINX thing.

Just keep a-lookin' and a-searchin' and a-hoofin' it...just keep a-hopin', a-prayin'  that someone is payin' it!

I was never looking for a job in such bad times!

Take anything and they know you are serious?
Love

I JUMPED

Feeling good.  I started my job last Monday.  Trained for five days and go in on Monday and do it again.  I am itching to sell.  I see customers come in and I want a piece of the action.  I am biding my time.  I know I will do well.

I called my mom and she seems a little sad.  My dad and her went on vacation and left the day after I told her I was leaving.  She told me she just wants me to be happy.  Oh, yes, mother, if that was the case you would have retired a long time ago..............but I am happy to be doing something else.  Yes, I work many more hours and do not have the flexibility but I will make more money and my mom does not have the final say in my life!!!

I love that.  And soon enough, she will retire.  And then it is MY decision whether I go back or not.........probably not because she will run it into the ground....

But I am happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  You would not believe the weight that has been relieved!!!  I jumped I jumped I jumped!!!!

And even though we found out my h got laid off for the months of Nov and Dec and I am on that time of the month...............I do not care!!!  It is all gonna work out!!!!

Love, Kellyi

Hi KELLY!

Congratulations! I sell, too...after a lifetime writing/editing for a living, and I really enjoy what I'm doing.

It helps when you believe in what you're selling, and I like our product.

But I really enjoy being a type of salesperson who is enthusiastic but not pushy, I like to laugh with customers, and I really enjoy the problem-solving aspect of what we do. It is service, for real.

I bet you're great at it, and I know you'll succeed!

hugs,
Hops

HOW LONG HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN HEARING ME BITCH ABOUT WORKING WITH MY MOM!!!  AREN'T YOU PROUD OF ME???  I DID IT!!

AGAIN, THE GUYS IN COMPUTER CLASS DO NOT GET IT.  TO ME, IT IS SOOOOO EASY......

CANNOT WAIT TO GET OUT ON THE FLOOR.......AND YES, HOPS, IT IS ABOUT SERVICING THE CUSTOMER, NOT SELLING.  I CONSIDER MYSELF THEIR DECORATOR-NOT THEIR SALESPERSON.......IN FACT I WAS THINKING OF HAVING A PIN MADE WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON IT.

I AM NOT A SALEPERSON, I AM YOUR PERSONAL DECORATING CONSULTANT!

I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE STAFF!!!!  THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG!!!

Hiya OC

I am so happy to hear that you are away from your NM.

The wisest, and maybe the hardest, move you have made?

The very best to you!

Love
Izzy

Thanks to all.  In a way I think everyone at my store is relieved.  Relieved that they do not have to be exposed to the obvious turmoil between my mom and I.  My aunt is already going to hire her daughter in law (taking care of HER family is of the utmost importance to her.......) She will step into my come and go as I please mode.  She gets what she wants.  I get what I want.  Everyone will eventually tire of my mom and leave......I predict it.......but it does not matter to me.....I am free!
