  Today I finally feel that someone in the world of business actually has a heart and is interested in my best interest and not just the company's. As some of you know, I've had to make a rash decision to accept a job that isn't exactly what I want to do and doesn't fit my criteria for a full-time job with benefits and all. I was in the process of interviewing for a job I really wanted down at Disneyland Corporate (in marketing) but was forced before I could go to the second interview to accept a "casual" position with in my current group doing retail analytics. If I didn't accept the job then I could potentially be unemployed--everyone's worst fear in these times.
In order to gather the most information I could before making a decision, I called the recruiter for the marketing job down at Disneyland to see where I stood as a candidate and if I really had a good chance of getting hired on. She talked with the main guy that I interviewed with and called me back saying that, while I consistently came up on the top of their list they were a little hesitant because I don't have direct marketing experience. After that discussion I decided that I was better off being safe than sorry. So here is where the shit hit the fan--pardon the expression--I was at lunch meeting today with my manager and our director, whom I've always gotten along with, and when she found out that the manager trying to hire me in our group forced me to tell her today if I'd take the job or not she was furious. She actually cared that I was being forced against my will to make a decision that really wasn't in my best interest. Then, she proceeded to tell me that she'd give me a recommendation and that she'd talk to the director overseeing the open position to see if something could be worked out...halleluiah!
Someone is trying to help me out, I was just floored. Now I need all of you to keep your fingers crossed and hope that I can go through second round interviews, that they are convinced through recommendations from my manager and director that I can do the job, and that I get hired as a Segment Marketing Associate for Disneyland Resorts!
Finally on a career path. Time will tell...more on this later. Funny how as soon as you think things are settled and you know what you'll be doing for the next 6 months that things change so abruptly. Now I'm back to we'll see... So here's a much more fun topicâ€¦boys! Okay, I'm not 12â€¦ Anyway, it happened. Just like that last night I started becoming very attracted to Cesare. It is weird, like all of a sudden he looked different to me. I started to see HIM and not just the physical. It was pretty cool. I kinda sad bc he left this morning for Europe and Chicago (to see family) and won't be back until Jan.10.
Boo. That's okay though bc I'm going to VEGAS. Yes Ladies and gentlemen..1.5 days until we're off on another girls only weekend! I can't wait...these last 3 weeks have been way too stressful. Some steam will be let out on the dance floor, that is for sure!
