Hello From_______

Back in bg

Hi guys!
As the title says, I'm back in BG! Here's quick recap on what ended up happening:

Sunday May 17th: I meet with Ken and Isaac, the designers of KaufmanFranco who outline job pay and benefits if they were to hire me, but have to ask Abby for a job description. They'll get back to me Friday, Monday at the latest, and to call Tuesday if I hadn't heard from them.

Monday May 25th: I'm afraid to go on the subway in case they call. But it doesn't matter; they don't call.

Tuesday May 26th: After calling 3 times, Isaac picks up. He says they don't have an answer for me. They're waiting for Abby to put together a job description and he'll send an email within 24/48 hours. After hanging up and then talking to my Dad for awhile, I decide to just catch a plane back. I feel better already because I'm not waiting on someone else to make a decision that would affect my next step-- I made a decision myself and acted on it.

Tuesday night: Meet up with John at GADS who's in town until Thursday, go see Mad Max, and then walked around the carnival at the mall.

Wednesday May 27th: I put together and send Abby a job description that I had quickly put together based on what I think the job would entail. She responds within a couple hours with a "thank you" and "have you heard from the guys any??" At this point, I assume the designers haven't been communicating with Abby. 

Wednesday night: Dinner and putt putt golf with John. He leaves tomorrow morning for Alabama to report in and to start house hunting.

Saturday May 30th: Go kayaking with Katie and her new boyfriend and after 3 hours on the water, I know I'll have sore arms the next day. I get home and get a call from John, who I assume is bored in his hotel room, but he ends with "look outside and tell me what you see"--and I see that he's parked outside. He came back to surprise me :) and splits the weekend between spending time with me and his mom. He leaves again Monday morning.

Tuesday June 2nd: Starting submitting resumes for a retail job here. And still haven't heard from KF.

I still don't regret catching a plane back; I feel like I made a great decision last Tuesday :)

I have come to the conclusion that you are much too good for them. The weekend would have been perfect had I been in it! But I'm sure we'll get to see each other some this summer :) Good luck job hunting!

Thanks Sara! It's too bad that we couldn't meet up..John says he'll be in town for 4th of July--how bout Thunder Fest at the Corvette Plant??
The designers just occupy themselves with emergencies rather than preventative measures--who knows? I might hear from them in August!

So what happens if you hear from KF? Are you going back to New York if they end up offering you the job, or are you kind of finished with them?
P.S. That was really cute of John to surprise you! :)

Depends on where I'm at in life--if they offer it in the next week, I'll say "thanks, but no thanks" but in a couple months, I might accept--who knows?

Wow, what a crazy week. My goodness. Rachael, I wish you all the best in your job search. I know that the right job will come along. And until then, John is quite the man to keep your mind on! What a sweet surprise from him! You've got a good one ;)
