Cross Your Fingers

OK, so I may have my head in the clouds, but I do have my feet on the ground. ....For the most part.

I have a new job prospect. A pretty serious one, actually. It's with a new homebuilder.... as a marketing coordinator. What do ya know?

You might be asking yourself why I would take a position with another homebuilder when I just got burned by one... Well the truth is, I really love this industry. Also... I've been doing my homework and this company consolidated their Northern California division and based itself out of SACRAMENTO. Strange, no? Everyone and their mother seems to be moving to the Bay Area. So that was music to my ears. Secondly, they have 19 communities in Northern California (10 of them being in the Sacramento Area). My last employer had closer to 7 (and 2 were active in Sac). Seems like this might be a really great opportunity for me.

But don't worry. My hopes are already hopelessly up.

Want to know something strange too? A little too eery to be just coinidence? ...I've been looking for a print for a little color pop above my stove top for a LONG time now. And I finally settled on this gorgeous orange poppies print from art.com by Paula Benson. A day after this print arrived, the co's "people services" department got back to me and said they would for sure be in touch with me next week. Well, needless to say, the poppy print was too big for the space, but as soon as I started research the homebuilder's website - I kid you not - orange poppies popped up as their main graphic on their careers home page. Plain as day. ........Could this maybe be a sign?

Cross your fingers for me.
