Welcome Back,
I'm at work and things are at a stand still. I have finished pulling that parts that Chrysler will not take back, and have separated it into 3 piles. 1 for our Dodge store, 1 for our Chrysler store, and 1 for our Jeep store.
I tried to be as fair as possible while dividing the parts, so that no one is stuck with all of the discontinued garbage.
Yesterday, I managed to stay busy until noon, I went home for lunch, came back here and watched a few hours of TV on the Big Screen in what was the showroom :P Really, I'm waiting on the return tags to come in, then I'll have something productive to do for at least 1-2 weeks. But until that happens, there are 3 of us here sort of waiting around. I'm not complaining
I'm happy to still be getting a paycheck.
Speaking of which, I still have yet to hear back from the 3 places I applied for... Kinda has me worried. Although, I have had a few offers, one from our competitor in New York! He called yesterday morning looking for a part for a Global Electric Motor (GEM). I had to tell him that I could no longer help him with those vehicles,and that we are closed. He was sad to hear that and said it was nice experience dealing with me and he asked what I had planned for work now. I let him know that things are up in the air a the moment, just taking things one day at a time. He then said that if I'm ever in the Albany, New York area to stop in and see him, he'd love to have me at his Honda Dealership!
I also received an offer from our competitor in Springfield, literally down the street from our Jeep store.. Yes the same store I declined being transferred too. I can just imagine that conversation, "Oh, by the way.. I declined to work in Springfield at our sister store because I didn't want to drive 40 minutes one way, especially with Winter coming.. BUT I will work for our competitor just down the street from there". :P
Well the drive there wasn't the only reason. There really isn't a spot for me there, I was told that they would make room *wink wink* which would put somebody else out of a job.
I'm trying not to worry too much, there is a lot going on this month.. I am looking forward to James making his way back down on the 20th
Equally excited about our trip to Canada, meeting his family and getting Married on the 27th
and spending a few weeks with him before he gets settled in Ottawa.
His parents are super supportive! As a wedding gift they are putting us up in a fancy shmancy Hotel, insisting we get Room Service and giving the "OK" to run up a tab. Oh, and they wanted to buy our rings too! How cool is that!?!
OH, on another note... I've been exchanging emails with my mother... Seems she's happy we are talking again and we are able to put are differences aside. Now she's trying to patch things up with my brother, more so now since she knows she's a grandmother. I'm doing my best not to get in the middle of this, it's their situation to sort out, if he'll allow it.
She's asked for his address and phone # to contact him and to say she's sorry... But I played stupid, but relayed the message along with her email address, so now the ball is in his court.
I did send her a few pictures of him and his family, she was happy to see those and agreed that her grandson looks so much like my brother did at that age.I've let her know what's going on in my life, with the job, the wedding... She hinted that it would be nice to meet James... Yeah, not sure I'm ready to do that just yet.... I myself have not seen her in 9 years and am just slowly easing her into my life. Just trying to keep the awkward moments to a minimum... if that makes sense?
Well I was just told that the Return Tags should be arriving tomorrow! BONUS!! This should work out nicely. My goal is to get as much done before the October 23rd... I'll worry about finding work after I get back from Canada
Well, I've rambled on for far too long.... As things develop, I'll keep you posted.
To Be Continued........
