The Job

It makes me laugh that so many of you have seemed to politely notice the incongruency with me working at a health club!! It's a community center and health club, I'm sure you have one not far from where you live. I will be managing the front desk (hiring, firing, training all 25 or so desk staff), providing reports and analysis on membership, etc. The management position is social, analytical, creative, multi-faceted and best of all, BUSY!! Yes, I get a membership with the position which basically means I'm going to have to get off my duff and get on the treadmill!! LM is pretty excited that if I need to go in on the weekends, he could go swimming while I'm there!

It feels like a good fit. The interview process was really awesome and relaxed. More conversational that interrogational. They have a policy to call family members as part of your references and my dad gave such a glowing reference that my employer said he "closed the deal'. Thanks, Dad!! (It's not bribery if you send him a thank-you plant afterwards, is it?)

Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm looking forward to the change. I'm not sure how the dog will adapt since LM is gone for a month or so and won't be home early to let him out. We'll just have to work through it.
