Life is full of surprises

Today I realize that I shouldn't write certain stuff in my blog until I am sure and I know better. But since I already posted about my search for a job, the interviews, the stress, and all of the excitement that goes with it, I have to inform my readers about what happened today.

This morning I went to a job interview with a manager of a Renaissance European Spa in Fayetteville. I applied with them over a month ago. Going there today, the thought of even considering this position seriously, didn't crossed my mind. I just went there to see what they had to offer, out of my curiosity. But actually I was waiting for the Shiseido representative to call me about her decision, and that was all I was concentrated about.

But certain things in life don't always turns exactly as we plan. From the very moment I met Anita, the manager at the Spa, I felt like something was about to happen. We talked like we've knew each other for years, the place and atmosphere felt just right, the other employees were so nice and friendly, and I just fit in there perfectly! Since I already been there once, I knew some of the girls and I also knew the products they used at the Spa. The position they would hired me was as a make-up artist. That's what I listed, among other things, on my application. It was perfectly fine with me. I love doing it and I feel very passionate about it. After talking about the pay, hours and all of the important stuff, Anita just asked me if I was interested because she would love to hire me. I told her honestly that I was waiting for an answer from another possible job, and I will let her know later about my decision, although I just wanted to yell: YEEEESSSS-I AM TAKING IT!!!! My heart was telling me to take this job, but my brain was telling me to take the Shiseido job, since the salary was slightly higher. When I walked out of the Spa, we hugged, even though Rob told me to "Remember--do not hug at the job interview!!!!" Anita thought it was hilarious that a husband would say stuff like that, and that she, herself, was a "hugger"--like me. :-)

Ok, so here it is. I did make up my mind. I did take the job at the Spa, as a make-up artist! I am very content about my decision and it just feels right. I am relieved and truly happy now. I know that I am going to sleep better tonight, even though I am super hyper and excited. And I am starting my new job on Monday. Anita was very impressed with my experiences in that field, knowledge of the products and procedures, and they all loved the make-up I applied at one of the girls. It was fun too. :-) The benefits are great and I will be flexible with hours. What I like about it, is that this is a full time job, but I can make it as many hours as I want it to be. And after doing some math, with Micki's help (thank you, Micki!), the pay might even be much more beneficial then the Shiseido position would give. And I will still be able to go to school...

I am soooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!! :-)
