I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter celebrations! Or at least the time off work and school . . . I had a bit of a lonely Easter this year. My dad was out of town visiting my Grandpa, who was recently hospitalized because of a heart attack. My sister and brother in law went out of province to visit some family, and my mom was invited for dinner at her friend's house. So it was just me this year, and I spent the time working a lot and messing around on the internet.

Okay, I'm done feeling sorry for myself! There were good things that happened this weekend! One highlight would be that I got a call from the Country Club!! I got the job!

Officially, I don't have it yet. We have an appointment for tomorrow where I will meet with Potential Boss and he will present me with an offer for the position. I don't really know what this means, but I pretended I did over the phone. I am assuming that we will talk about salary and benefits and such, but I'm not sure and am hoping that it will all be simple! I'm not experienced in the field of negotiation!

I'm very excited because this is really exactly what I've been going to school for! Hopefully it will be a good experience- I'm nervous about taking four classes AND working a more-than-fulltime job, AND possibly staying on at the Restaurant for one shift a week. I'm also nervous about talking to management at the Restaurant . . . they love me there and really need experienced people right now! I hate the idea of leaving them shorthanded and not getting to see all my dear co-workers there!

I guess all this is normal new-job stress! I will keep you posted on how the negotiations go tomorrow!!

Congratulations!!!
You should find out what a typical event-planner makes before you go in there in case Potential Boss asks you what you think you should make. . .
