(no subject)
did i mention that something huge has recently happened? i believe i did not...yet. so here's the story: recently a friend (from high school) flew to new york for a job interview with a fabulous hand bag designer. this is big time, folks. these bags are carried at nordstrom, bergdorf, fred segal, etc...
anyway, so my friend gets wined and dined in ny (yes, cristal was served) and offered a job helping out with their marketing, etc. she's from boise as well and is understandably apprehensive to move across the country alone. therefore, the designer (jan haedrich) tells kelly (my friend) that they will be hiring 5 more people...could she suggest a friend...you get the point! kelly tells them about me and they're really excited.
last monday: i call jan (yes, jan) and talk for a while. i send her my resume and she's super excited to meet me. she calls me back this last friday (and i almost drove off the road as i spoke with her) and declared that i needed to fly to ny as soon as i could in order to meet them and have a formal interview time. so i have my plane ticket and i'm going to new york on august 23rd for what may be the beginning of something really really exciting.
i spoke with kelly (friend) today and she talked to jan this morning. timeline wise, we're looking at the end of september!!! sooooo soon! they have a big fall show the last week of sept. and would like for us (yes, us) to be there by then. kelly said they spoke in plural form for most of the conversation and kept referring to "you guys" "both of you"...etc.
that's my story, folks. it's real and it's happening to me. i know, i know..."summer, don't get ahead of yourself!" and i won't, but this may be the most exciting thing to happen to me...well....ever! just wanted to share. bye for now.
