I Got A Job!

Remember awhile back i told you about a job interview i had? Well after thinking for the last month that she had chosen someone else for the job and contemplating having to look for a job somewhere else, she called! Maggie from Maggie's Salsa called yesterday while i was at Phabian's doctor's appointment and offered me the job.

I am so happy to be able to accept and start work hopefully on Monday. I went in yesterday after Phabian's appointment and filled out the final bit of paper work for the job. She would have liked me to start today but because of babysitter arrangements i needed to wait til Monday. As i had previously said the job isn't a stead 40 hour a week job.

Since she is just a small company right (only employing about 5 or so people) now she only works when she needs to fill an order. This for me is perfect right now. Some weeks i may get 40 hours other times i may get 10 but either way it is a great way to get myself back into the work force and give me something of my own to do. It will also give me great insight into how to run a small business as i am still trying to get my cake business into a decent swing.

I am really excited about this opportunity but also still very nervous about it. I haven't done anything (and i don't mean to make being a mother and wife sound like nothing cause it is a BIG job) except be mommy and wife for the past almost 5 years and having a job that is mine and no one else's is kind of...well...scary!

Either way i am excited to have the chance to test the waters and see how it all goes. The extra money will be great even though it isn't like we could live off it if Marcus lost his job or something. I just pray that i can adjust to a new way of doing things and a new role that involves me being the one to listen to someone who is the boss. I have been the boss for so long that the new chain of power will be interesting to me.

Please pray for me that i will learn my new job quickly and will be able to do everything that they need me to do. I am sooooooo excited!

Interview and Result

So i went for my interview this morning and i wont know if i have the job till Tuesday. So i figured i minus well tell you about it in the mean time. Even if i don't get the job it is a great product and something i know most of you will like.

Maggie (a friend of a friend) opened her own salsa business back in 2004. She makes fresh salsa and white queso dip. She just opened a new location to make her delicious salsa at and needed help filling orders. She recently secured a order from Whole Foods. He salsa is 100% naturally fat free, all-natural, and has a 45 day shelf life. If you would like to try some (and i recommend it cause it is yummy) you can visit her site Here. I think i will really enjoy this job and it will give me some insight into how running a business works.

I am still in the slow slow process of starting my own cake business. It is going to be an excruciatingly drawn out process. I need this job so that i can have the extra money to fund my cake venture. I did the cake for Jayden's Birthday. It didn't turn out as perfect as i would have liked. The icing we choose to use for the polka dots decided to run before drying and the frosting i tried to use for a ribbon, well lets just say there wasn't enough or a tip. How ever the pearl dust made it look beautiful and very sparkly and the batch of fondant i made turned out perfect this time. Jayden loved it and i think that is what matters. We live and we learn and i sure did learn some lessons with this cake. I was thinking about submitting it to Cake Wrecks but since i am not a professional i don't think they will take it lol. I am sure glad i can laugh at myself.

So i am not going to let anything get me down right now. I am still hoping that this job will come through as it would be perfect. I would work from 2 - 10 pm Mon - Fri. I would get paid weekly with the possibility of weekly team bonuses. I think i would have a lot of fun with the job as well as the wonderful people. I hope you check out Maggie's Salsa and support a small business who is offering fresh, healthy product! keep on praying that i get the job!
