Are there diamonds in my future?


Bet that got all ya all's attention!
Since I already have an engagement ring...and a wedding band the above ring isn't for me....or either of our daughters...nor is my son purchasing one.

I had a piece of jewelry in need of repair, so today I visited the local mom & pop jewelry store where I have my jewelry repaired, sized, etc ...(have never bought anything). As I was entering the store I noticed a sign advertising they are looking for part-time help...which I chose to ignore. As I candidly spoke with the owner about my jewelry, children and jobs...I casually asked about the sign (and wondered where those words came from!)...to which Mr. Jeweler shockingly asked if I was interested. "I might be", was my response (as I wondered who the heck said that!). So he quickly jumped into interviewer mode -- he needed someone who knows how to get on the computer and "do things"....I said I could do that. ....and he would like someone to greet people...I can do that. After a few more questions, and conversation...he says, "I think you'd be great for this job". Then he hands me an application and says to just put my name/address/phone number on it. No place on application to list previous jobs..so he asked where I worked most recently. He was impressed. I told him I didn't have any retail experience at all. "No problem" he says.
After some more pleasantries, I leave and he says he will be in touch.
Oh my heart....what on earth have I gotten myself into????

Today I'm taking you to work with me!
Here's the office building. It's only 5 years old.
I work way up on the 4th floor. The photo below was taken from the window where the "M" in "My" is in the the above photo... You can see where I used to live from up here and kinda-sorta where I live now
Every day I walk up all FOUR flights of STAIRS...it's torture I'll tell ya!
Here we are....my little corner of the building! Isn't it pretty? You can't see what is all around me, but basically there is a file cabinet the looks like a pretty dresser off to the right of what you can see. My desk is the only one over in this corner...nice and quiet. :) I should have taken pictures of other areas of the building. ...I'll do it later!
