Karma has come home at last.
This morning, I was getting my stuff together for a trip into town for errands and a workout. As I picked up my phone to put into my purse, it rang in my hand. I didn't recognise the number, but it IS my business phone as well, so I answered with thoughts of a PartyLite order.
It wasn't PartyLite. It was better.
Out of the beautiful blue came a voice who wanted to know if I wanted a job with horses. I was so surprised that I couldn't speak for a moment. I gave an affirmative answer and we arranged an interview time. I went straight there, once I double-checked the directions. It was a beautiful country drive. Very nice. Was good to see all the farmers out planting/getting ready to plant. And for once, more horses than cows to be seen. Clearly, I had been driving down the wrong roads before this!
It is a very remarkable establishment. I was very impressed by what I saw and heard while on the tour. My interviewer seemed impressed with me also, and as we settled our details, she remarked that I was going to 'fit in very well' there. A nice start, I think! Bonus detail ... they are PartyLite friendly! AND I'll be able to do bonus duties ... like grooming and riding for extra pay!
So! Here I am with two jobs that I love! Does it get any better than this??
Wheeee! No more getting woken up by a chain saw after two hours sleep!! No more sleeping alone!! NO MORE SLEEPING FOR 80% OF THE DAY!! Whoo hoo!!!
*Insert the Pointer Sisters here!* (Sing, if you know the words!)
Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice ...
Things are blooming and booming! Lots of trees are coming down as we clear the fence line. (Feel free to donate your kids to help with branch pick up!) There is just so much going on! Doctor's appintments everywhere! (We finally found a Dentist AND a Family Doctor and we both like them both!!) I have people coming to give me estimates on custom curtains. I'm part of a Managerial Program with PartyLite and my business is just picking up splendidly! I have two possible starters pending! If they both start, I will be a Team Leader!! and that much closer to my Goal of Unit Leader!! I'm very excited about that! Very excited!
Candles and Horses!! What's next? A music contract??? O.o!
Sweet Dreams!

What a ghastly time of day to be awake ... No matter that I'm being paid to do it. Miss the sunlight. I miss waking up to a fresh morning with chirpy little birds (and some not-so-little) ... instead of trying to sleep through the "noise". I miss sleeping beside Jade! For crying out loud, we live together! There should be some sleeping together ... shouldn't there be? We're not married yet, after all. ;)
Seriously, this night shift is really starting to wear me down. I don't sleep well anymore, and I spend so much time napping that I don't have time to do anything else. And my other job is suffering ... I'm napping right when I should be working my my PartyLite! I'm missing out on a lot of great promotions and stuff! Because I'm SLEEPING!!
Anyway, I told my Super that I was considering quitting because as nice as the pay and job was, my family just wasn't happy. I told her about my lack of sleep and my lack of time for my other job. She understood and only asked that when I decided that I gave her some notice.
No problem ...
I'm waiting to see what happens though. Now that my Super is out of school, she'll be getting more hours ... which means I'll be working less. So we'll see how my schedule goes ... and we'll decide from there.
Tooti told me to make sure that my PartyLite schedule was as full as possible when I finally decided to do it ... she said that it would ward off panic. I will try, of course ... that last thing I want Jade to do is panic!
LOL!
I need new pillows ... mine are so flat and UN-fluffy ... stoopid headaches ...
So this Saturday was supposed to be fun! I was looking forward to FCBD! And then I had somebody schedule a party on Saturday. I thought, okay ... I can help out in the morning and work in the afternoon. No problem. I was missing out on the Charity Garage Sale at work to help out too. And then my Hostess called up and moved the party forward an hour.
Crap. No CGS, No FCBD ... and then I realise that May 3 is also the Kentucky Derby!! *weep!*
Ah, well, life sucks and then you either buy a gun or win the lotto. I'd rather win the lotto ... makes it easier to buy the gun. :)
So ... on the bright side, Saturday's Party is looking to be the best yet since I started ... I'm looking VERY forward to new people and the new chances ... and, yeah, there are visions of a fantastic paycheque too. I admit it ... it's a business after all ... right?
Well, Housekeeping should be starting to trickle in soon .. I should look busy. ;)
