Life as I know it
Big News…means big changes
Fancy Got A Job
Changes seems to be a reoccurring theme for me. The latest change for me is a new job!
I am so blessed. I have for months wondered what I am supposed to do with my life. I got nothing. No big epiphany. Just a sense that I was supposed to wait. I am not a patient person. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time complaining and pouting.
A couple weeks ago I received a call from a colleague in real estate, Wes Brown, inviting me to interview for a job working with him again. He is the manager of sales for The Hall Company, an Urbana company only blocks away from my house. I loved working with Wes in real estate! He is brilliant and gifted in sales. Of course I wanted to interview for the job!
The interview process was funny…first interview I asked my husband what to expect. He prepared me for the question, “What is your biggest weakness?” My reply, “I have none!” The question I actually got was, “Give me an example of a time when you solved a problem for a customer.” I laughed and said, “Come on Wes! I was prepared for my biggest weakness.” Good thing I was good friends with the interviewer. Second interview I asked my husband for any last minute advice. He responded, “Only thing I got is…here’s your one chance, Fancy don’t let me down.” That thought in my head is WAY better than imaging the audience is naked. I smiled through the whole interview.
I was excited to hear that despite my interview skills I did get the job.
So, life as I know it is….CHANGED. I will love using my skills with customers again and enjoy the whole work environment. We “laid the hammer down” with the kids in the form of a chores chart. (we’ll see how that goes) I’m thinking of a schedule that will work in exercise. I will still participate in Tastecasting events. However, the biggest adjustment will be to my travel plans. No more taking off to New Orleans a couple times a year. I will have to become the weekend travel warrior. I’m in the hunt for weekend getaways and quaint B&Bs to stay at closer to home. I will be blogging about new adventures soon! Oh..we will travel still…just will be fewer trips and planned out further.
I feel very blessed and glad that I learned to wait. Now I am a believer in letting good things come. Finally, I didn’t get in the way.
