Boy I think this has been the longest I’ve ever gone without bloggin’! I’ll try not to let it happen again. However, after you read this, I’m sure you’ll understand why I haven’t had time to write....

I guess I’ll start off with the most ionter4esting and exciting news:

I got a job working at BENEFIT!

I had an interview last wednesday and got the job the same day. I just had to wait for the call from the department store that it’s in to discuss pay (I missed the call last night and will most likely have to wait until monday). But I got it. And I, for one, am very happy about it. The interview was a breeze! The ladies with whom I had it with are really sweet and funny and we got along right away.

And I was all smiles after, until I realized that I was going to be quitting the Gap. And that made me a little sad. Don;t get me wrong. I’m so happy to get this job, but it means not working with Aniter anymore. Telling her got me all nervous....She had school that night so I couldn’t even tell her right away and I wanted her to be the first to know. But she called that night and I told her...she was a little funny on the phone which is quite understandable and I can’t say I wouldn’t be the same if it were her that were leaving....and it was then that it really hit me that I was leaving the Gap. Actually it’s not the Gap I’m going to miss- actually I AM going to be missing the discount!!!ouch clothing at full price!!!!! But it’s the people and my friends that I‘m going to miss the most...and that made me a little sad. But I’m working in the mall literally connected to the one the Gap is in, really a minute away...

The job is only part time and I’ve been getting a lot of grief because of this. Everyone is saying “oh no only part time what are you going to do for money?” “part time, is it worth it?”

This made me really upset and even made me doubt my decision. I realize that it’s only part time and I wont be making the same amount of money but wouldn’t you sacrifice that for a job your passionate about? I mean how long have I been wanting this? Two years now? Anyway, I’m happy for me, and I’ll get over the money bit..it’s going to take some re-adjusting that’s all. And when you think about it, the thing I spent the most on was make-up and now I’ll get it cheap!

And that’s my big news. This week-end I’m writing my letter of resignation with Aimee’s help and getting myself organized. I can’t believe that this is the last two or three weeks I’ll be working at Gap with Aniter. I’m all nervous to tell my managers. The only one I’ve told is Spyros. And I know he wont say anything. He was sad too but really proud and happy for me.

A soon as I talk to the woman from the store (the call missed) then I’m going to tell my managers...hopefully monday cause I can’t stand another sleepless night thinking about it. I hate walking around work knowing that I’m leaving and not being able to say anything yet...oh man, i hope I haven’t just jinxed myself by saying all this....I don’t know what I’d do!!

So that’s my news...it makes me happy and I’m just going to trust myself and not let anyone make me have doubts.
