A job? Really I was thinking I'd have time to adjust...
So life right now consists of getting up with my husband, making breakfast, eating breakfast, then he goes off to work and I hit the computer to see what's going on in the rest of the world. I check Facebook to see what my former co-workers are up to, what my friends and family are doing back in time. Plus cleaning, doing laundry, and all those pesky wifely duties, along with cooking. The high lites of my day are when my husband comes home from lunch and when he comes home from work. It is a little on the boring side sometimes as I have no one to speak with while he is at work. Well today he comes home for lunch and has two things to tell me, the first one is that we can get an awesome deal on a 4.5 star hotel in Port Douglas for our honeymoon. :) The second is at his job the receptionist is leaving for another position and someone in admin suggested me. ME? I'm barely here a week and I have a job offer that's outside my field. Though if you think about it, it's not really. I answered phones before, spoke with attorney's, title companies and customers of all sorts. I've dealt with downright rude obnoxious customers in person, where all you want to do is tell them to jump off a short cliff. :) Here I would sit as receptionist, answer phone calls, direct people who came through the doors to whomever it is they came to see. How many obnoxious people could you possibly get at a Family (Christian) radio station? As it's being presented to me it would be a full time position for a term of 3 months. It would help us out financially for sure and it would get me to socialize with new people, even though I LOATHE answering phone calls. I have a tendency of stuttering when I get nervous and I get tongue-tied, which is fine to a point in N.Y. with a New York accent, but to do that with a New York accent in Brisbane? I'm torn. I want to, I don't want to. I'd go in with my husband as it's at his job plus I do not have my own car yet and it seems even the CEO approves, which is high regards if you think about it. I've told my husband that I, or should I say we, but mostly I will think about it over the weekend and make my decision by Monday. Funny the job would start the Monday after our honeymoon, and I would have to go in 2 days before our honeymoon so they could show me what's what and how I'd have to do things. There are quite a few people in my corner regarding this, which is a huge plus in transitioning. Considering since I've been here, the only people I've spoken to are my husband and to order coffee, and there I had the dumbest chick out there. I order a medium cappuccino, a fairly simple order I would think, but since this specific Coffee Club has table service you cannot get a take-away cup while sitting in the joint. BUT the point is I'm asking for a MEDIUM cappuccino.......does it really matter what you serve it in? She was looking at me and asking, um what is it you want? I want an effin CAPPUCCINO!!!!! Can you handle that little girl?

You will be the Terry of the radio station!! I know you hate the phone and leaving messages on people's answering machines, but you could look at it as a new challenge to conquer!!

Yes but here all I have to do is answer, take messages and redirect. I will find out Wednesday at coffee what exactly I would have to do, but as far as I know I would not have to make calls, which is what I really dislike.
