old job new job saga
it was a hot and humid Friday evening. we were attending the Forepaughs friends and family night(historical, haunted mansion restaurant in St Paul MN)I have done freelance work there as a gardener. My mom's boss is the new owner, known me for 20 years. B says "Ang love your work everything is beautiful! You sure clean up nice " huge hugs and moves on. We enjoy a feast of sumptuous delicacies. Corn chowder, peppered muscles(S ate them and liked them),salmon, bacon wrapped shrimp, heirloom tomatoe and handmade mozzerella salad, beef wellington and those are the ones I can remember. B says" Ang you and your husband think about what you need to come and work for me. Give me a call. Don't scare me with $ bit let me know because I've got alot of work you could do for us(his company)"
wow. he really means it this time. he's teased me b4 this time he's serious. so we did S and I went out to brunch after having gone out on the town for wine and dancing to pre celebrate that this could be the opportunity of a life time. To get in with an up and coming company thats buying restaurants left and right. I'll make them pretty.and plant the town!
We figured out how little I have been making(no raise in 5 years)added a car payment to that plus $ for both of us to work out. then added a couple grand to feel like we might pay our bills on time and get ahead(crazy I know:) And my personal crazy started, could this be real, could i really do what I am supposed to do, regarding my floral talents, with someone else's money!! emailed him yes I think we should talk we are interested in what I can do for his company. He calls back several days l8r(while catpaw67 was here) and I give him the figure over the phone and it doesn't scare him! he tells me write up a job proposal and job description and send it to me. I asked for almost DBL my current salary!
TO BE CONTINUED...
