about a week and a half ago i received a call from conoco phillips. i had applied as a recruiting recoordinator with the company before accepting the job at pier 1. my close friend kate is a recruiter at the company, and she didn't take the news of me moving to san francisco or even edmond very well. we practically live across the street from one another, and she's probably my closest friend in tulsa. we were both really sad to think we might get to see one another on such a regular basis. kate set the ball in motion for external candidates to be considered for an upcoming position in the HR department. ambra, another former co-worker from the addison group, also put in a good word for me. kate and i first started discssing this little plan back in august when i left magnolia gardens. corporate sometimes moves a little slower, so it took a little while for the interview process to start. after a somewhat lengthy wait, i received the call, officially accepted the position and will start on november 1st in bartlesville.
it will be fun to carpool with kate and get to see her on a regular basis again. for a time we were seeing each other several times a week, but since i've "moved" to edmond and have such a non-traditional schedule, we haven't seen each other in quite sometime.
i'm sad to tell brad goodbye, he's a great boss and pushed me through the hiring process with pier 1 very quickly just to get me back onboard. i'll make the most of the next two weeks and then update more as i start yet another new chapter.
someone remind me how this became my life ...
