Moving On (Up?)

On my way to visit my future MIL in the hospital yesterday, her sister called me. I presumed to ask about her condition. Instead she was calling me in for an "interview" with the doctors office where she is the manager. my fiance's mom worked for this doctor for 15 years and always raves about him. I keep hearing what a nice guy he is and how family friendly. It was practically normal to them that I had The Bean with me for the interview. He told me he would rather I bring The Bean here and come to work, then miss work because I can't find a sitter. How cool is that?! Basically he said "Jean [my fiance's aunt] gave me your resume and told me about you. Basically, I need you to be here. I NEED you here." And I said "Okay." That was essentially our interview. I start a week from Monday (which is the 10th). Aunt Jean is going to contact me to go over the schedule and pay. It's going to be more than at the hotel. But its only 30-35 hours a week. Which is great... except I need to make more money than that. So I am going to continue working at the hotel part time for a while, if they let me. I almost hope they say no. But I feel bad not giving a full two weeks notice so I am going to try to slowly leave. It's kind of a lame move on my part. But helpful to them that I am not leaving them high and dry. My goal is to eventually, relatively soon, leave the hotel all together and get a different part time job that doesn't have such difficult hours. Maybe in retail. A discount during the holidays would be nice. Or in a restaurant, though I really don't want to waitress anymore. But I will if it is financially beneficial. I wrote to both my General Manager as well as my Front Office Manager to let them know. I kind of put the ball in their court. But I also insinuated that they might want someone full time for the job. I also told them that I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep the hours of both jobs, and that if it got to be too much, I would let them know. Because eventually, it will be too much. Especially with my fiance working at night so he can be home with The Bean during the day, it won't give me much time to rest between jobs.

I wrote my first letter to my dad last night/this morning. I am going to put it in the mail today I guess. I just need to locate some stamps. I wanted to send him some, too, to get across the idea that he is supposed to write me back. Though I didn't say it in the letter.

My fiance and I have been trying to figure out our "plan", but now with this new job, it looks like the decision was made for us. We will be sticking around LI for a while. Which is good because we will be near Little Miss. But it's not where we want to be and it's expensive. But I guess we will work it out; take what we can get. We always figure things out. We spoke about it yesterday and he said he doesn't think he is ready to move far away to CA or TX. He'd prefer to stay on the East Coast, close to NY, like DE, PA, or MD, for now. Maybe we will retire further out west. Or maybe we will get stuck here like almost everyone on Long Island does. It's okay though. I'm happy that I got this job and I am looking at it as a sign of better things to come. I can hardly wait to start. And one of my favorite parts? I get to wear scrubs! Yay! So comfy!

Thanks for reading.
Peace & Love,
