Well not only is it weigh in day
But i've an interview at work for a promotion. I'm an assistant Front Office Manager in a large 4* Hotel and Golf Complex - aswell as Guest Care Manager and my direct manager is leaving.
Two months ago i had a email from HR asking me to call them about my keep in contact days.
I thought this was strange as only been on Maternity leave since Feb and am not due back until Apr 2010.
Anyway they were begging me to apply for the job and said they are willing to wait until i return from Mat leave and will cover the job temporarily.
I was adamant when i left that i'd give myself the year as i wasn't sure i was going back at all.
DP is over the moon and is very proud of my reputation at work and how fast i've progressed there (i started in 2007 as a Shift Leader) - anyway i'm so out of Sync with work and haven't given that place a thought since i left for Maternity, i'm looving being a SAHM and spending all this time with my babies.
The wage is 2-6k more than i earn now but will be alot more work and allot more time away from the family and i'm concerned we will struggle with childcare, what with a 5 year old and a then 1 year old, especially as dp runs his own business, all sorts of hours and even working away for periods of 2-6 nights.
It feels great to be given this opportunity and i'd usually be very excited but i feel i am doing it to please everyone but me.
I've decided to go for the interview as to keep my options open should i need to return to work in April (as with the current climate) but i've been out of the place for 7 months and my brain has turned to mush, all nappies, bottles and nursery rhymes.
We have a new ops manager who i don't know and not sure i'm ready for a grilling as have put it to the back of my mind, whereas i know the HR Manager and our group front of house manager very well (she even enailed me to say she was ecstatic i'd agreed an interview!!)
Don't even know why i'm writing this, it's alll just babble. Suppose i'm just worried i won't appear as enthusiastic or know what to say - LMAO!
The whole team is new (apart from one girl) as when i left to have the baby they all did as couldn't cope with the manager, and the department is falling down around them - which is a huge reservation of mine as i put alot of effort into it and made a huge difference to the hotel (too long to detial on here but top Management are very happy indeed she has gone!)
Oh well 2pm tomorrow.........:sigh:
Apologies for typing, baby asleep on my lap ...awwwww
