short stop
I’ve recently applied for and gotten a job offer with a big corporation doing reception. I have a regular customer who comes in to my cafe everyday, and she’s the office manager of said company. She mentioned to me a few weeks ago that they were looking for someone new… so I interviewed and was hired… little did I know that in the corporate world there are many… HOOPS. I had to dig up the last 7 years of my working history, including present contact info for all of them, as well as W2s and exact dates of employment. what? It’s reception work. Not doctor work. it started two weeks ago and still have to dig more stuff up. I was talking to steph last night about it, she gave me some good ole sister advise (the selfless kind) and this morning I withdrew myself from the position. HUGE relief. Just don’t see myself as a corporate gal. and I simply can’t find a W2 from 2003. This whole process has made me appreciate my cafe job more than ever. I have freedom, my voice is heard because it’s a small company, I don’t have to wear a “sports coat” or kiss corporate business people ass. I can give them decaf on the sly and be on my merry little way. xoxo
