I am going on a second interview today for Dr. Beasleys office. I am interviewing with her consultant Rick. Hoping that it goes well.

I had an interview Friday with Spectrum Eyecare. The Dr. and the Office Manager were VERY NICE! The only thing thing that I worry about is that they are looking for someone who wants less money. And if it comes down liking me and liking someone else that is asking for less money I think they will go with the other person.

Dr Mescher emailed me Friday and told me to call him so that he can put me on the schedule this week. I emailed him back saying that I am still interviewing. I am looking for something full time. I thought that I would be happy with part-time. But I really think that I need something full time. I am hoping that either of these jobs will come through.

Spectrum Optical is beautiful! Hardwood floors, great eyewear lines, nice people. Couldn’t ask for more than that.

Dr. Beasleys office would be great because it would offer me an environment that I have not worked in before. I think that would be very refreshing!

And again Joe is very “TEAM LORI”. If I don’t get a job with either practice he said that he would have me work on projects for him and Jason.

Here is hoping that I have a job by the end of the week!

i went to another interview last night. i was in a big dilema. the one drs office called me and i think that he was offering me the job. i haven’t called him back yet.

here is my dilema…. the drs office that i interviewed with is doing extensive interviews. they are interviewing and they are having a consultant interview as well. i am waiting to have an interview with the consultant.
so last night my stomach was tied in knots trying to decide what to do. joe told me to decline dr meschers offer and wait to hear from dr beasley.
it is like the show deal or no deal. if i don’t take the job with dr mescher i may not get the job with dr beasley and then i am out of job options. and i still haven’t heard from lenscrafters.
and dr meschers office would be much better than working at lenscrafters.

so basically we came up with this…. decided to call wendy the office manager and ask her if i was the running for the job. and it would be ok if i wasn’t and they liked other people better. i just needed to know if i had a chance because if i didn’t then i was going to take the other offer. she said that she and dri beasley were very impressed and yes i was in the running. i was at the top of their list.
so now i have to interview with the consultant. i have no clue what type of tests that he will have me take. but the dr said that they just want to make sure that they have the right fit for their office because one bad apple couple spoil it.
i understand that.

and i don’t want to start with dr mescher and then leave him if i get this offer. so…. it is a chance that i am willing to take.
joe said that if things don’t work out with dr beasley then he will have more projects for me to work on from him and jason.

so i am taking a chance…. but the chance may pay off. and who knows…. dr mescher might say that if things don’t work out to call him.
it is just going to take 2 weeks for dr beasley to make a final decision. they are opening a 3,000 square foot office at the end of september. and i would help them pick out all of the frames! oh and they would have Lafont! My favorite french line of eyewear! they have super cute kids line too!

i am bad… i haven’t called dr mescher back. and he was offering me what i wanted. it is just going to really kill me if i turn down his offer (which i am going to) and wait for dr beasley to make up her mind. and if she decides that i am not a good fit. well then i don’t have a job at all.
but then i have to keep reminding myself that i was looking for a job so that i could get out of the house and see people. i don’t have to have a job. i am still running the teleclass business. it is just VERY SLOW right now.
and i have to admit that i would like the money. when i was working for dr springer i loved socking alot of money away.
i am hoping that the risk will pay off and i will work with dr beasley. it is something totally different. she specializes in vision therapy for children.
i would be running the optical department and i would help answer phones and schedule appointments. she will have 4 vision therapists working with her as well as the office manager and the receptionist and the optician. i am not quite sure, but i think that
i think that my experience with working with lafont and the higher line optical with help. most of the people that see dr beasley are by referal and they all have money.
what i really like is that i will be able to buy more lafont glasses! yippee!

wendy was very cool about it too, and it was nice to hear that i am at the top of their list.
if i don’t get the job i may just ask them to keep me in mind in case anything opens up. even reception work.
what was really cool was in their vision therapy room they had a no whining sign. it said whining with a big circle and a cross through it. i thought that was pretty cool.
wendy is from pennsylvania. and it so happens that dr beasley did her residency in pennsylvania. the dr was kidding around and said “i don’t know about having too many yankees working for me.” hee hee! then she said say y’all, now all yall. it was funny.
they are both professional and laid back at the same time. sort of dry sense of humor…
but very cool and i am willing to go through these different interviews just for the chance. and if they don’t decide to hire me i hope that they will remember me in case there are any openings.

it is late and my i am not capitalizing anything….

i had to get all my thoughts down though, because it was driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!

Joe and I were out today running around buying things for our place.

The one thing that I have wanted to get for a long time was a pillow bed for Calvin. We picked this one up at Target today!

What this picture does not show is Audrey taking over the bed and Calvin laying back down on the hardwood floor! They are both going to really enjoy it. We just hope that Calvin sticks up for himself uses the bed. He can share, but shouldn’t let her take it over! Sibling rivalry even runs rapent in the fuzzy world!

In other fuzzy news… Joe and I were walking Calvin today and he met a new friend.  We didn’t get her name, but she is a black cocker spaniel.  Her owner was walking her and 2 other smaller dogs.  I am not sure if they were pomerian.  They were black and white.

The man was like. “Look salt and pepper!”  He was really nice.  Didn’t catch his name, but he told us the story of how someone found her as a puppy behind a resturant.

It is really nice to live in a neighborhood where people will tell you stories and you don’t even have to introduce yourselves!

I am thinking our next dog may be a black cocker spaniel!  She was just too darn cute.  I wish I would have had my camera phone with me.  She turned around on her leash and Calvin on his and they gave each other a little kiss.  How adorable is that?

one lonely raisin! I was putting the grapes in my fruit bowl for breakfast and came across this! I have never encountered this before!

I bought organic grapes this time around. They are smaller than the other grapes in the store, but very tasty!

I did end up eating the raisin and it was very good! I

Here is another cute yet crazy kittie. This is Minnie. Minnie is the second of Maribeths 2 cats.

While I was trying to sleep she starting trying to get my legs. Then I started dozing off and I feel something batting my head. I look up and there is Minnie with her paw up and ready to swat again.

I don’t know if these 2 adorable kitties wanted attention or wanted me thecheck out of the apartment!
