Well I had my meeting with the VP...went very well, looks like a career change will be happening a few months from now!
W's office is directly across the street from where I had the meeting (as fate would have it). So I called and said "come down the elevator, I'd rather talk to you about this than discuss on the phone".
She was really happy, we had a nice talk, she said "wow, you have to wait for December for this to play out?"
I saw my opportunity....
"Well if nothing else, you know that I can be patient, and I'm good at waiting!" I said, and we both had a good laugh.
Just before I said goodbye, she opened her arms and gave me a huge hug. So nice.
When I got back to the office, this email was waiting:
so happy for you!! hopes and dreams - that's what it's all about isn't it?
I responded:
Yes it is. It’s nice to have hopes and dreams and see that potential can be realized if you just put yourself out there.
I am extremely happy with the way I presented myself today, would not change a thing.
Thanks for your support W.
Good feelings all around! MM
Right then, i received a phone call from the leader of a rock band I wanted to audition for. They want me to come in and play with them a week Friday! So I emailed W:
Auditioning for lead guitar/harmony vocals in a rock and roll cover band next Friday night.
The leader just called me and we went over song lists, skill levels, expectations etc.
It’s a professional paid gig situation.
Didn’t know “putting myself out there” was going to be so much fun! :-)
She came right back:
I thought this was supposed to be about me? :-P
Talk about getting trumped!! Too cool!
She sees I am getting on with doing stuff for ME. I'm sure she is scratching her head and wondering what's gotten into me!
This is a good day. My GAL is unfolding and giving me something to do as well as being a creative outlet for my artsy fartsy side
