New Job!

If you all remember I had an interview about 2 weeks ago and I found out today I got the job for the second time! I know the "second time" doesn't make sense so I will explain. First of all it took a while to hear back the first time cause she had a few more interviews to do and she was supposedly going to tell me last Monday if I got it or not, but the guy she needed to speak with was on vacation and that she will call me either way by Thursday at the latest. Well on Monday last week I found out that I was pregnant so I had a choice to tell or not to tell the lady who might hire me. I finally came to the conclusion to be honest with her since I knew her from Matthew's previous property he worked for. I figured that yeah I could have told her after she hired me, but I would hate to put her in that situation. I didn't know what to do because I wanted this job, but I also knew what my heart was telling me and that was to just be honest no matter what happens. On Thursday she called and immediately I told her that I was pregnant and that I completely understood if she didn't want to hire me now. She was very grateful that I told her the truth and that she really wanted me for the position! So that was the first time I got the job. She said that I would have been a great person to work with and that I would have been great with the residents, but she understood that family comes first. She told me that she has never been in this situation so she was going to talk with someone and see what they say about it. Well today she called and asked me if I still would like the position, so now I got the job for the second time! She said that she knows I may not stay after the baby is born, but that maybe my mind may change if I need the money at the end of 8 months and I totally agreed. She said I will be perfect for this job and the fact that I'm pregnant did not change her mind in any way. I told her that I was really grateful because I was already thinking that she was going to hire someone else since it would be in her best interest to hire someone to stay for a long time. She understood but she really wanted me for this job.
So I took the job and
I will be starting the job around July 20th! I'm really excited to get started! I will be a part time Activities Director for a 55+ apartment community! Funny how life works out when you least expect it!

How exciting! I'm glad you're starting the 20th, rather than sooner. I'd be sad if you wouldn't be able to hang out with me when I come!
