And in the blink of an eye everything changed..

Ok first.. a little emo trip before my big news..

This little angel is home in Iceland with his beautiful mother (my sister) over the summer.. they have both made my summer so much better just by being so close! I love them more than they will ever know or realise and I really hope I can be there for them always!

And this girl! I don't even know where I would be if I didn't have her in my life! She's known me all my life (well she one month younger than me!) and she still thinks of me as her bestest friend! She's seen me at some of the lowest periods of my life but still loves me with all my flaws and weaknesses! She's my best friend and even though we don't share the same mom and dad she is and always will be my adopted sister! Oddapoddan min! I love you sooo much! thanks for everything!

ok that's all I wanted to say..

No just kidding.. so listen up now for the big news everybody!

I got offered a promotion at the health food store last week and.. I took it!
One of the store mananger is going away to Denmark for a year and they offered me the store management of her store while she's gone! It's weird.. the reason they offered it was because I called my boss to quit! Well I got offered another job and also I wasn't happy with the salary so I called in to quit but my boss said she didn't want to lose me and offered me a raise first! I said I would think about it and when I was thinking about that my boss called me again and offered me the promotion! it's really big cause it's the store in the mall and they focus the most energy on it and being in charge of it would be a great opportunity for me!
I met with my boss after I had thought about it for a couple of days and we went over my demands and such and then the next morning she called me to tell me they were willing to meet them all and I had over night to think it through!
so I did and then the next day I called her and accepted!

I'm really excited about it!

Of course there are some cons too of taking this job..
I'll have to take it for the whole year which means I'll be "stuck" in Iceland until July next year and won't be able to travel until then! I mean they were willing to let me do the Defiance, Ohio tour in October cause I said I wouldn't back out of that no matter what and I should be able to go for weekend trips and maybe one week trips once in awhile too.. but no big travels of course that only include one way tickets.. hehehe..
also it's a very stressful position.. it's the store in the mall so it's going to be hard work.. also over Christmas it's opened longer so more work for me.. but I do get paid extra for weekends and after 7pm so that's good.. I only have to hand in so many hours per month..

but I guess it's ok cause now I have the next 3 month to see if I like it or not.. that's my trail period so I can make up my mind if I want to do it for the whole year..
If I don't like it.. I think it's too stressful.. being in Iceland is too hard.. I'm not getting as much paid as I think I should be getting.. I'm needed somewhere else.. or just anything.. I'll quit and either find something else to do here in Iceland or leave Iceland to do something else..
If on the other hand I do like it then I'm doing it until the end of June 2007 and then I'm free to do whatever I want.. move to Europe or the states.. travel to all the places I want to see.. anything really! cause I'll be making a lot more in this possition than the one I have now and I'll have loads of money saved up by that time!

so it's pretty exciting.. I'm just going to work my ass off for the next 3 months and see what I think of it and everything! then I'll see..

so yeah.. big decisions going on here..

but what do you guys think? smart move or not? I mean it will help me pay for the car sooner and I'll be able to pay my bank back too AND safe up more money to travel more and visit you all!
but still seriously what do you think?




O and summary of my blog for Pramen! ;o)
- I love my sister and my nephew very much.. yes the one you heard me talking to when we were on the phone the other day! and my best friend and adopted sister Oddny too!
- I took the job offer!
- I have 3 months to decide if I'll be doing it until next summer or if I'll stick with traveling and having no responsibility! a tough one I know.. what do you think?
That's about it! o and you should try calling me again! maybe just text me first the night before (which would be in the morning in NZ when you're at work) or something so I can wake up early and answer! :o)
