I swear I don't GENERALLY switch jobs so much! But, here I am,a month and a half after I got a new job at Down East Basics telling you all I am leaving. I wasn't planning on leaving, but things just worked out differently than I planned (Which I should probably be used to at this point!)
It is funny how it all happened(well, maybe not comical, but, just interesting). While I was working at Miche Bag, I became friends with the girls who worked next to me at another kiosk. Well, one of them, Tania, started working at Nordstrom during the Holidays, and was recently promoted to manager at the Bare Escentuals counter. She would always walk by me while I was at Down East and tell me I should come work for her. it always sounded fun, but I never took it seriously, since I had JUST started at Down East. Well, last week, Tania's former manager approached me at work, and asked if she could interview me, since Tania had told her all about me (how sneaky!). So I agreed, and met with her (Rachel) the next day. Well, the interview was fantastic, probably the best I have ever had, and Rachel offered me the assistant manager job right there! (Actually, I am called the Lead Beauty Ambassador, thank you very much!) They told me they would call me and let me know what they could offer me as far as pay goes. (I told my self it would have to be at least 2 dollars more per hour than I was making at Down East for it to be worth my while to leave!) Well, they offered me 5 dollars more than I was making at Down East, and who am I to turn THAT down?
So, goodbye Down East Basics, hello Nordstrom and Bare Escentuals! I am really excited, because I have always loved make-up, and now I get paid (Well!) to do it for other women! So once again, I am moving on to bigger and better things!
Oh and the nails part of the title has nothing to do with my new job! I just have a weird obsession lately with strange nail polish colors. Right now, navy blue, yellow, and gray are my favorites! (And in case you are wondering, mine are currently yellow! Love it!)

Thanks for the update. Both the work and the location will be "right up your alley".It's always a blessing to enjoy your job. I'm VERY happy for you. Speak of coincidences, my nails are currently yellow as well.

I am laughing so hard at Dad's comment above...funny guy! Congrats on everything good that has come your way. It is all so well deserved and nice when others see how fantastic you truly are. Next time we get our nails done, I am excited to see what color you come up with...maybe you can add nail polish to the Bare Escentuals line (I mean, you are the lead beauty ambassador)! Congrats Jen.
That's great! Congratulations on the new and even better job. They're lucky to have you there. I'll have to look for you when I'm at the mall (not too often, but it happens sometimes).
