Sooo... a possible job opportunity arose today... (kinda long)
As many of you know... I don't exactly "love" my job. My occupation, yes. My job, no.
Someone who used to work for the company I am currrently at approached one of my coworkers about a position at her current place of employment. Coworker is not a great fit for it (just found out she's PG and the benefits do not include full maternity coverage). So, she informed me about it ( I will be on Kevin's insurance soon, so not a concern for me).
It would be at a Primrose School (educational child care center) working as the chef. The current enrollment is at 125 and at max it would be 165. I would be the only chef in a small kitchen. I would have the freedom of creating the menu and most everything is from scratch. I'm quite intrigued by the information that I have recieved.
They are offering $0.66 more than what I am making now (which isn't a ton but more is more). Hours are pretty much the same (Mon-Fri 7-3, paid holidays) but it would be a bit further to drive (maybe 30-45 min instead of 20ish)
I'm going to contact the lady and see what more the job entails and what the expectations/standards/requirements might be. Apparently the current chef is a bit of a tyrant and the teachers are afraid to even go into the kitchen to get ice.
I also have been informed that the lady doing the hiring is looking for more nutritive recipes (less sugar, whole grain, etc) and that my coworker LOVED working with her and actually left the account they were at because this lady left.
Just wanted to share with you ladies. Kevin didn't seem as excited about it as I was. I guess he just questions whether it is something I would enjoy (PS... I LOVE working in the kitchen by myself without people annoying me!).
OH.... AND THE BEST PART!!!! I would get 50% off of child care while working there!!!! That's huge!

You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
Hee Hee Hee...
I just giggled out loud and Kevin goes "what did they say now?"
I used to call you my nest friend from Canada. He makes me call you by your name now. He says its just easier that way. PS... I even call you J IRL.... Janice is just weird. And then all I can think of is friends and her ANNOYING voice!
Exactly what I was thinking!
I definitely giggled at homo milk.
Sounds like an awesome opportunity!!
Homo milk...leave it to J to pull that out of her hat!
Sounds like a great opp Jenny! It doesn't take much to look into it. And even if you went through with the interview process, it is worth it to know more about what's out there. Can't wait to hear the update when you find out more.
I agree! Good luck!
My biggest thing is follow your bliss would this new job make you happier than the job you are at now?
With the drive the money is a wash but if you are happier your life will be better!
