Crazy Busy
I don't know why I can not "No". I have not worked in a month, this was getting tedious I would end up sleeping during the day and then not get any sleep at night and it was more of a cat nap of 20 to 50 minutes before someone at home needed me so they would wake me up....
We went to the Opening of a Joann's and there was a Viking Dealership inside and I went over to check out what they had, started chatting with the people there and they offered me a job. The new Manager seemed a little ...hesitant and seemed to be saying over and over how we would not have and she did not have adequate training. I got the impression she thought we should have been in a training room for like 6 weeks. I tried to assure her that it was the learning curve and that 3 to 6 months later she would laugh at this beginning. It is always chaotic when beginning some new adventure. I was heading to LA so I could do a workshop we had planned.
Anyway I got at call during the workshop and returned it as I was taking my flight home. It seems the Manager quit that Sunday, she could not handle the job. They were offering me the position!!
Back story: There is another store like this in another Joanns about 30 minutes from my house. I have applied there several times shown her things I have made with my Diamond. I have never had a phone call, even though over the past 4 years I have seen several people hired by this shop. I know of at least 2 other people of color who have way more experience and own Designer SE or Diamonds, who also have never gotten a response from this shop as to employment.
So I took the Manager's Position I think out of spite but also because I know I can do a good job, however now I feel like the perverbial in the fire from the frying pan. At least the lady who quit had 6 days of training, they are expecting me to read a manual and just be awesome from there!
I have always abhorred sales quotas, I know this is a sewing machine sales but that added pressure, is adding to my stress, I don't want to disappoint people? But I don't want to disappoint myself and I am getting used to working a 40 hour work week again. I have been part time for 6 years!
I guess like I said to the 3 day Manager in 6 months I will be laughing. I hope......
