Ego Trip

If you know me, you know that I love fabric and sewing. I love color and textures and forming them into a piece of art.

Well about nine months ago I was in a fabric store buying fabric for one of my etsy purses. Just out of curiousity I asked it they were hiring. Sure enough they were and jumped at a chance to give me a application and pretty much offered me the job before I stepped out the door. I only needed to pass the interview the next day.

I was hired. It has been a whirlwind of fun and not so fun ever since. I have worked two job and keeping my etsy store stocked. Not leaving much time for anything else. I feel like my kids are growing up and I haven't been there to watch.

Last month I found out the fabric store decided to hire another Assistant Manager. Not feeling that I had been at the store long enough and so I didn't worry about applying. I didn't feel like I was in the running. The store owers and Manager were always there to encourage me and make me feel like I was doing a good job for them, but I didn't want to step on anyone's toe. Especially because I was at the bottom of the totum pole. Anywhoo....My manager advised the store owners that I would be the best fit. To make a long story short. I got the job. I have better hours and better pay. I will be quiting my school job. Giving me more time with my family. My etsy shop will always be there for my creative outlet.

I am really excited about my new job. It's really scary, but with a little training I think I can do it and it's been really good for my ego.
