Sarah, Thanks for getting back with me. I apologize it took me a little longer to get back with you. Since what we were considering was different than our original plan, I wanted to make sure we thought through (and discussed it) well. And to be honest, trying to get ready to open makes the days scream by, I should have been more on top of it.
I am happy for you that you found something that you can get behind and push forward, which is what I think you are after. Please do keep us in mind if something changes. I guess what it came down to is that we really need someone who has the spirit and passion to get behind what we are trying to accomplish and help us figure out how to make that happen, deep experience or not. You seemed to fit that. I wish you the best and look forward to seeing you someday dropping by the shop. Your first one is on me!

bummer
Hello Sarah,
I hope this finds you well. I wanted to check in with you about the opportunity we have with Local Mountain. As I mentioned when we met, I had originally looked at the position we have that met you financial needs to be someone with coffee shop management experience but after spending a little time contemplating it, considering your energy and desire for an entrepreneurial opportunity, I would like to have an opportunity to speak with you if you have an interested in pursuing the position. If you could drop me a line or give me a ring that would be great!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Ric
Oh well. things happened the way they did for a reason, right?
so,
A. he offered it to someone and they didnt' accept so he resorted to me, or
C. he really did contemplate me for almost two weeks and want me to run his coffee shop...
hmm, bets? guesses?

jobs and such
Where did I leave off? Oh, yes, I had an interview Monday, the 27th with the Indiana Blood Center. No offense, but I've come to dislike the question "how did it go?" Unless they say "We hate you, never show your face here again" or "We love you, when can you start?" then I really have no idea how to answer that question. It was a typical interview. She asked me questions such as "How do you feel about diversity" and I answered all of them as though I were the most fantastic employee one could ever ask for. I even commented regarding that. "I sound like the perfect employee, dont I!" She responded, "this is an interview and you would be silly to not make yourself sound that way, but I am enjoying your answers"
It ended with "I have three more interviews and HR needs to do some background work and we'll let you know around the end of the week"
so, to the many questions I got throughout the week I simply replied, I dont know anything yet.
Friday I met with the coffee shop guy. We talked about my experiences and his needs and such and in the end he requested that I give him the weekend to think about it. He had really been hoping for a seasoned manager that could just step in and take over, but since I could not report such experience on my resume, he was unsure if he wanted someone so green. Understandable. fair enough.
I get home from the interview and there is a message on my phone from the Blood Center. "... we would like to offer you the full-time position of blood collection technician... please call us Tuesday to discuss this further..."
phew, the coffee guy has all weekend to think and so do I.
After much discussion and idea rolling around, Abram and I have decided that the Blood Center is going to be the best bet. The coffee shop would be an awesome experience but we are pretty hesitant about the location. Its in a little strip mall in the parking lot of Meijer. eh.
"dont worry, baby, some day you will own your own, and that will be a whole lot more fun and worth your time..." my dear husband assures me. :)
I'm pretty excited about my new upcoming adventure. I will be part of a process of saving lives. I will meet so many people and I will be needed, utilized and doing something worthwhile. Now that's a nice feeling!
oh ya, and I get to wear scrubs. that's really the reason I went for the job... :)
thanks for thinking of me, thanks for praying for me, thanks for caring about me. Abram and I have a lot to think about and work through and adjust to, but it will be a great adventure.
oh. I start the 27th with my training in Indy. 10 days of driving to Indy. could be fun. could get old... I'll let you know :)
