With our recent move to Homebase, and no homework to occupy my time, it became time to search for work. This is a huge task. I started about two weeks ago applying at greenhouses because I knew I loved that kind of work and didn't really know what I wanted to do. Well, the first job offer I recieved was great except it required me to work on Sunday, so I turned it down. Then it was continued searching. Then on our way out of town to my cousins wedding I saw another greenhouse and made a mental note to visit when we got back in town. So, Monday morning arrived and I went to the greenhouse and walked in and said "I don't know if you are hiring for the season still, but I was wondering if I could apply." They replied well I think we have all we need, but turn your resume in anyway and so I did. Later that evening I received a call from the greenhouses wanting me to come in and talk to them. I did, and they offered me a position to do wholesale, accounting, and retail. I was so excited. I came home did a happy dance, jumped up and down, called my family, and then sang 'We are the Champions' Chicken Little Style. Now this is were it gets crazy so hold on.
Because I was so excited I want to tell my friend about it. I went over to her house and we were visiting, and she was really excited for me. Then her husband came home, he is Guapo's boss. My friend told her husband Adventure Girl has good news. So, I told him the news and he said "What, I was going to invite you in for an official interview." Stunned is the only word for what I felt right then. Then he left and went downstairs to see how Guapo and Chatty were doing on the equipment. After checking up on them, he came back up stairs and proceeded to make a job offer. It would be part time being a coordinator between production, and sales by assisting in answering customers non-technical questions. When I said I was stunned before well, by now I was almost speechless, good thing my friend asked good questions for me. He wanted an answer right away, but I told him I needed more time. As the day went on I pondered, and arrived at the conclusion that I could do both. So, I went and talked to Guapo's boss the next day about that option and he was just fine with it. Then I went home, and started what I thought was going to be the last day of my vacation. Well about 15 min before Guapo is supposed to get off work he calls and says "Boss wants you down here, I think he wants to offer you a full-time position."
Well, Guapo was right. When I arrived at the office Boss was waiting for me and directed me into the purchasing office. Once there he proceeded with his new offer. I would work full-time with my time being split between purchasing, and the previously offered position. So, now I had some real deciding to do. I asked the head-purchaser a lot of questions because I was skeptical of this sudden interest in me. Well, he explained and I proceeded to ponder over the the choice. Once again boss wanted an answer right a way, but I said no way I need to have sometime. That night was filled with thinking. As I was falling asleep I decided I would probably take Boss's job offer. The next morning I woke-up and thought some more, because I really wanted to make a good choice. Finally, I decided yes, I would take the offer.
Then came the hard part. I went to the greenhouse and told them what happened. They were really understanding and wished me the best of luck. (I wish them the best of luck they have a great business plan) Then I came home and did a few things and then I went to visit the Boss. When I arrived I told him I would work for him, tried to get more money or vacation, but he said no. Rats, but I kind of expected that. To sum it up, I will have my first offical day at the office on Monday. This should be an adventure.
