Just as I was getting worried about what I was gonna do once this gig ended, what would take me to Mid-July and Michigan...I got not one but two job offers in one afternoon each with a bump up in position and pay! I took the one that lasts till JULY 15th!! It will take me right up to when I leave for festival! I was thinking it might be lean times due to my time restrictions with Michigan. I kept thinking about what job offer it would take to make me cancel going to festival again this year.
I am nervous about the bump up in position. I will have to do travel which I have always dreaded. But I CAN DO IT!!!!! right? I am very nervous.
The other thing is that I will have to leave my current job early but I have everyone's blessing so that's a good thing. So two days of wrap and then I am off to start the new gig. It's really happening and I am getting bumped up and succeeding in this new career. Sometimes I feel like a fraud but I guess I am doing something right cause it's really not the kind of job you just show up to. You are only as good as your last show and folks have to like you to want to hire you again.
I have to say that I have Puma to thank for encouraging me to make this change and for supporting me in every way while doing it. I remember the two of us in a hot tub at festival at the main kitchen and while I don't remember how we got to this conversation but I expressed that I was over the hotel work I was doing and she said that I should find work that I love and that stuck with me.
I am writing this while at work and very excited and nervous and answering the phone and doing other things so I hope it makes sense.
