i called my old manager there. she's absolutely thrilled that i want to come back.
it makes me ill to think that i have to do this again. i could slap myself sometimes. and i wont be accepting any job offers if this works out. i will NOT work 7 days a week again. i think maybe it was just ment to be for me to work at the spa? like its one of those jobs that no matter what, its what you'll be doing for the rest of your life, or close to it?
i think of the hours and they seem almost perfect (almost because of the fri/sat nights being taken up) but who cares right? fri/sat nights aren't the only nights to have fun or to do things. and i can always request off a day if i need to do something on a fri/sat.
it didn't really feel like i said good bye when i left the spa. now i realize why it didn't, its like i was destined to go back.
ok i'm gonna go calm myself and relax a little and pray that something can be worked out with the spa.
If it works reasonably well with his schedule - and thus you maintain a life - and it works for you, then it works.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have something you enjoy doing more though.
she's doing me a huge favor by hiring me back. i'm not going to beable to quit for a long time, it just wouldn't be right... and i'm not taking on another job either so i can prove that i'm available for the advancements and hours in the spa itself as they come. i would have already been in the spa with the girls working occasional weekends already if it wasn't for when I was working at TheFirm. But then again, at that time TheFirm was my main priority and look at where it got me :-(
ReplyDeleteinstead i have a plan, i'm going to talk to her about slowly weening me off weekend nights and putting me into the spa during the day/evenings. i know that eventually the time will come she'll need another person in the spa minus occasion helping out and i want to be the one who is considered and given the position.
i see this as a strategic career move. i never thought i'd think that about the spa, but i do see it.
his schedule is mon-fri 7am to 5pm (depending) and some saturdays & sundays he has to go in for a few hours. mine will be fri & sat 4pm to 12am, sunday 5pm to 10pm. one of the major reasons why i quit. but i see it this way: mon-thurs we will have our time together and it'll be just fine. and my career goal is to stop the weekends, stay at the spa and work during the week for them. which, if its a 5pm to 10pm shift, that seems alot worse than the weekend nights, huh?
i'm sure it'll all be worked out and we're a strong happy loving couple. we'll be ok.
like i told Taranis earlier: it's not the day of the week we spend together, is the quality of the time we spend together.
If it works for you guys then it works.
ReplyDeleteAnd he'll have some evenings for "guy's night out" stuff, eh?
