A New Job - a pre-blog blog

After most of my students finished their contracted lessons and went back to their home countries, I was pretty much out of work and out of money.  It was tough in November and December of 2009, so in January 2010 I decided I was going to get a new career.  Here is the intention that I put out to the Universe-  typed as written:

I am going to find  get a job a career that I love and that pays well, by March 1st 2010 so that we can pay off all of our bills and debt by the end of 2010 and save money for when  to help facilitate our move to, our endeavors in and our life in France.  


I am happy to say that on Monday, February 8th, 2010, I got a career that fills the intention above.  I am an Account Representative at O'Sullivan Communications in West Caldwell, NJ for their Air France account and my team speaks French.       
So, I am surrounded by French about 75% of the day! 

The first week was awesome.  My spoken French was not so bad, but the second week was much harder. I realize that I am missing work specific vocabulary as well as the ability to express myself in detail or quickly.  These are things that I am going to work on over the next few weeks.  I am also going to report back with more intentions for the Universe.      

In the mean time, stay cool and I'll be here at least once a week starting tomorrow, Monday, February 22, 2010 talking about different stuff.

Hi Johnnete. I loved your post about your new job, your new career. I think you are a very positive and dinamic person and you deserve all the best things the Universe prepared to you. I visited the website of the company where are you working and then I discovered that they publish "The Reteller Channel", a source that I used many times to write my articles about supermarket. What a coincidence. Anyway, congratulations for your new "era", reminding that I didn't forget our deal. I am just a little bit late with the post.
