Hey Everyone!
I am up bright and early again this morning 🙂 I swear this habit is awesome! Last week was pretty low key for the most part… I was a little drained from oh.. you know that time of the month 🙁
Something exciting did happen to me Friday evening. We ran into the girl from the office that works here, Katie who we have became fast friends with actually.. she even moved in over here right after we did. Anyways, A few weeks back I sent an email via our apartment places contact form asking them if they would be interested in hiring someone to do some Social Media and Marketing things, because they virtually have NONE. They don’t even have a facebook page or anything! I also haven’t saw a ad for them on craigslist in almost 6 weeks!
I got a reply back from a gal named Connie who def. didn’t read what I wrote. I mean I wrote a book and basically got a 1 line response of “we are staffed in our office” I didn’t know that this Connie chick is the other gal that works here in the office. I thought this email was from the main people that own the apartments. Anyways, I was a bit disappointed and I was really kinda mad that the email was not even really read.
Fast forward to last week. David found out that Katie is now the head gal in the office(she had just started when we first started looking at these apartments) Anyways.. I was talking to my mom on Friday about it and she was telling me that I should just go down to the office and talk to Katie about it, and I was considering it. When we came home from eating Friday evening, we started talking and she told me that she got my email.
I was kind of taken back a bit and I just acted like I hadn’t got a response because as the conversation went on she was telling me how great my ideas were and that she could really use me and that she had forwarded the email along with her thoughts and what not to the corporate people. I just had this feeling the response that I got was not from someone at corporate or some one that had got a personal message from her included. She said that she really wants me to do this and that they would probably just take money off my rent and everything which I was fine with. She said it might take a while but she is really going to push for me to get this job. Then as we continued talking her and David mentioned the name Connie which of course I recognized from that email.
later on when I was talking to david(when we came home) I was like oh.. so that is the other gal in the office, connie? and He said yeah, why? I was like because she is the one that answered that email originally then! I know she is new and apparently she is supposed to be the one doing some of these things like posting on craigslist and she must have felt threatened or something? I know they have been really busy around here lately because they are doing a total clubhouse renovation and this appears to be a really busy time for moving so I don’t doubt that they could use some help. I just don’t know why she didn’t read what I wrote!
I just know I am really excited about the possibility of doing something I love and in turn getting money off of rent and helping out and getting to know people and what not, so I def. have my fingers crossed and will continue to persue the option. I think it was pretty cool that all of this came back up. I swear we have just had the best luck since we moved over here!
well I am off of here for now. I am gonna see what I can get into … def. more updates here today. I have 2 of the june 30 day challenge posts to get up!
