Employed

I had so many conflicting emotions after the interview.  It went so horribly I started thinking I didn't want the job.  It seemed like a sign that this was not the right thing to do.  If there were this many obstacles just to get the job, then maybe I wasn't meant to do IVF right now.  I had decided I didn't want the job as it just wasn't meant to be.

Charlie, the manager, said he would call in a day or two to let me know about the job.  I'm glad it took a couple of days because it gave me time to come to my senses.  I decided I needed to go for it.  If it's terrible, I can quit!  I had an entire spiel planned out if he didn't offer me the job about how he should give me a second chance because I wanted this job and the interview wasn't a fair representation of myself.  Thankfully, all I had to do was accept :)

Another hiccup in the process was my background check.  I submitted it and after a few days hadn't heard back from Charlie.  When I texted him about it he said I didn't pass so I couldn't move forward.  I freaked out a little because the only thing that could possibly come up on a background check was that I had gotten a parking ticket a few weeks before...but I paid it that day!  Plus I didn't figure that would show up anyways.  Long story short, he had me mixed up with another applicant and everything was okay.  Whew!

I became an official Starbucks partner January 27, 2018!  Woo Hoo!!
