Grabbing the Brass Ring

I forgot to send the entry I wrote the day I was going to the second interview so I posted it before I wrote this one. SO... it went GREAT! I left the interview pretty much assured I had the position assuming that no one on the list of references I gave her told her I was a fire breathing Bitch Dragon.

Ok. so relax I'm not going to bore you tears with a blow by blow of what was said but there was something interesting. Let me begin by saying that this is a really creative atmosphere and a lot of co-workers much younger than me. This has never bothered Me before as I really don't have any friends My age and everyone knows Charles is two decades My junior. It is a bit of a challenge though to get along with them while they realize I'm not the enemy and while they decided how to relate to Me.

Another challenge is that I will be working on a Mac and it's been years since I used one. I left my friend "J" a message asking his opinion about the difficulty level of Mac vs PC and I haven't heard back from him yet but I'm sure he will get around to listening to his messages at some point, that is if he hasnt LOST or MISPLACED his phone somewhere. Watching him rid himself of tech devices is like watching a gangster pile up weapons when you shake them down. But, that's a story for another day. Hopefully if his wonderful sue sees this she can nudge him. I of course have My own system of "nudging" but I'm sure hers is a more pleasurable experience.

When My boss-to-be sat down, the first thing shesaid was, "I should have just hired you two weeks ago and we would be miles ahead of schedule" I think I started smiling then and the smile stayed as I listened and commented from time to time.

But let Me get to the interesting and a little puzzling statement My new employer made, "I think the thing I like most about hiring you for this position is that I feel you bring a nurturing facet to the table."

I actually just looked at her dumbfounded. "NURTURING? I'm still thinking about that today. I ama somewhat nurturing type of person but there is a split personality there. I also enjoy seeing someone in pain. Not just physical pain but emotional pain as well. There are qualifying limits though. I must be the one the cause the pain and I think it's because I know what I cause, I can "FIX". So, maybe that's the nurturing part she's picking up on. I once told the Mistress, Stern Angel who offered Me a job that I was too nurturing to be a Pro Domme. I had forgotten about that until yesterday. I guess I will continue to think about this for a while as it had a really quizzical effect on Me.

I got through the rest of the interview and started dialing Charles the minute I got out of the elevator exclaiming into the phone, "I GOT IT, I GOT IT!" I spoke to My daughter later and being the "heads on her shoulders girl I raised", she said, "Mom, did you talk to them about the salary?" I thought.. SHIT, I didn't. I was so excited to actually have beat out all the other contenders and WON this lottery, I forgot to ask! I did ask the next day and all was well, I'm getting the fat paycheck I wanted.

We celebrated that night and I spent yesterday stressing over how to quit. I just wanted to leave. This guy lied to Me about everything he promised in the beginning. I talked it over with My boy finn and We came up with a plan. I left the keys and wrote out a check from his checkbook for what he owed Me and put it with a stamped and addressed envelope on his desk along with a well written "nice knowin ya" letter.

I tried to call him twice before I left to talk to him in person and tell him what was going on but he snapped at Me and was his usual ass self so I just said fuck it and got up to leave. I stood there with My hand on the doorknob and got these HUGE butterflies in My tummy, "what if something fell through?" OH for heavens sake, is this silly worry wart the same person that put all her shit in storage and got on a plane for New York city never having been there and not knowing a soul, not even the person I was going to live with? I just took a breath and stepped out the door and OH MY GOD! This great joy washed over Me. Excitement! NEW ROADS!
