Best. Jobs. Ever

I have the best jobs ever.
I work part time at a salon and spa as a receptionist.
I get to greet people when they come in, answer phones, schedule appointments and clean.
And. I. Love. It.
I work with GREAT women.
Everyone there is a friend.
The owner and manager have been amazing.
They were truly SAINTS when I needed them most during a hard time.
I don't think they know/understand how much that stuck in my mind.
The ladies are funny, outgoing, honest and most of all... help me with my hair. :)
I do not have stress, but I have responsibility, it's PERFECT.

My second part time job, I just started at a doggie day care, lodging and training center.
It. Is. Awesome.
I get to greet people and their dogs, make them feel welcome and comfortable leaving their dogs with us.
I try to always have a sunny disposition... how can I not?
I get to see all kinds of dogs - all day long!
I'm just getting to know the people there, but we've had a few laughs and I think they know I'm silly, but responsible.... I hope they know that.
We were speaking with random accents today for no reason.... :)
Today we had a 3 month old Shih Tzu sit on our work desk all day and we got to pet her, and cuddle her and it was PERFECT.

I love my two jobs.
I love the area of customer service I have found myself in.
Greet, smile, happy, loving, caring and honest... it's working well for me.
LOVE IT.

Jobs

I'm currently working two jobs.
In November I quit my corporate job because I was miserable.
I got in a position that wasn't a great fit for me, and because you have to stay in positions 6 months to a year before you can transfer out, I was stuck.
I never minded my corporate jobs.
In fact, I always liked my positions, until the last one.
I couldn't get out of bed to go to work.
My husband literally had to pull me out of bed a couple of times.
So after going over finances, thinking and (him) praying on it.
He told me to quit.
So I did.

I started working part time at my friends salon and spa as a receptionist.
I LOVE IT.
I work with amazing women who are passionate about their careers and fun to be around.
However, I wasn't able to get enough day time hours there, and I can't work all weekday nights, because I want to see my little family.
So I put a call out and got another part time job at a local doggie day care as the receptionist there!
I'm super excited to start that position tomorrow.
Some people think I'm crazy that I rather work 2 part time jobs.
But I rather work 2 part time jobs doing things I like and interacting with people and pets then work one full time job that I hate.
I'm just lucky my husband let me take this leap, as not everyone can afford it.
Not everyone has that supportive of a husband.
Believe me, I know how lucky I am.
