Yep, I am still around...

Sorry I have been missing in action lately, but OMG, so much has happened since I last wrote....

1st. I did my "trial run" in O'Hare for the new job. It went stellar! Like for serious, it went so well that I was even worried that they would try to keep me at that property instead of giving me the National Sales position!!!

but alas,
2nd. I GOT THE JOB!!!! the Tuesday after my "trial" my boss called and made the offer...I did the happy dance all day...but, they gave me until Friday to finish up everything at my current hotel, get it all in order, and be done! WOW! That was craziness because there was so much to do! But, it all got done...

3rd. My hotel had a going away party for me....I cried basically all day..LOL..I know, I am such a crybaby. I can't tell you guys how much my boss at this hotel means to me. She is one of my all time favorite people, and I feel like I just left her...even though it is still a hotel in my region, and I will still be there and working with her. Heck, I have already talked to her every day since I left LOL! Anywho, they had a lunch, and said goodbye...some of my housekeepers even cried...I miss them so much, but it is such a great thing for me that it is bittersweet. So, my boss got me a set of cross pens and a leather day planner as a going away! I think she was really telling me to get organized, but It has already been a huge help!

so, 4th. I am writing this from my hotel room of the property that I am working at this week. I am in Troy, MI, and so far the job is going great!

Paschen is watching the cats for me this week which is a little odd because she is at my place and it just feels weird.

Oh, I even did some scrapping while I have been here...digi, but scrapping none the less...Here is a layout of my Hemma....Hope to have more done throughout the week!!



Okay...back to work...I forget it is an hour later here, and I have some more work to do before I go to bed!!

EEEK!!! Guess What!?!

OMG!!! So, well, the interview went great!!!! I was so freakin' exhausted by the time I got home at 12:30 am on Monday, but it was so well worth it!

I don't have the job yet, but I am doing a "trial run" of the job basically to see if I can do it. I start next week, not sure where yet, but overall, I think I have the job in the bag!! I am thrilled, and it was so good to see the "big boys" at corporate and hang out with them a bit.

so, keep the fingers crossed that next week runs smoothly, which I am sure it will anyway!

Wish Me Luck!!

okay...I am leaving here in 15 minutes to head for the airport and start the longest day ever! My flight leaves at 5:45 this morning and I have a layover in Philly before heading into West Palm. Then, coming back, I have a layover in NC. I should be arriving back in Chicago by 11:30 tonight. Needless to say, I am already exhausted and I haven't even started yet. I feel great about the interview, and my "chances" at getting the position. So, Now all I can hope for is that they feel thee same way!

I will write when I can today!
