I can't wait for September. August has brought some unexpected changes, a few of which I'm not handling so well. I don't mind shaking things up every so often, just as long as I'm not too shaken up in the process. This recent shake-up involves a new school year, a new job, and more than likely a new living situation. All of these "news" will precipitate newer news, but one day at time please. Sigh...
Let's talk about the new job. A few weeks ago I was approached by a former supervisor who actually hired me at Candle Warmers Etc. back in 2012. The company he now works for had a position opening up and knowing how limited my options were at my current job, he reached out to see if I was interested. I wasn't so sure, but was finally persuaded to at least submit my resume. One week and two interviews later, I was offered the job. Starting next Thursday I'll be working for Rainey Homes in Bountiful. The job itself will eventually develop into a kind of office manager position with a smattering of marketing and social media responsibilities - all of which sounds pretty random, but I like wearing lots of hats. And it's a bit more relevant to the field I'm pursuing with my graphic design degree.
There's still some lingering uncertainty and I think there will be for a while, but here's what I do know: ANSWERING PHONES ALL DAY AS A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS LEAVING ME DEAD INSIDE. Candle Warmers is a wonderful company and I'm sad to leave my work family there behond, but after considering my options I decided it was time to move on. I don't know if Rainey Homes is the final answer to the question of my life's work (uh, probably not), but it's an opportunity for a change I've needed for a while now. So here goes nothin'... Or rather, somethin'.
