Working 9 to 5

by Kristi on April 12, 2010 · 12 comments



A new decade coming up (I’m 30 next week, whoa!) and a new change of pace. As this post is going live, I’ll be walking into a beautiful office in South Orange County to start a new full time job.  That’s right.

FULL TIME       J      O       B

I am super excited about the opportunity.  I love Internet marketing, search engines, and blogs and I am going to start doing it again on a full time basis in an office setting.  Pretty crazy. At least for me. It’s been years since I’ve been in an office full time but I am looking forward to the challenge.

The company I found seems like the perfect fit for me. A small office setting, fascinating niche market, with national reach so I will really be able to jump into everything and make stuff happen. I love making stuff happen. 🙂 The people in charge are some amazing entrepreneurs and I know that setting. I grew up with entrepreneurs and I have a great feeling that this will be the perfect fit.  It is in the wine market which is pretty darn cool. Who doesn’t love wine? I’m going to love exploring all the possibilities.

My first interview was on GG’s birthday (strange!) but as my Mom pointed out, it seems like it is karma.  GG is no longer a baby,  he’s growing up so fast and Sam is also so amazing. I can’t believe how fast time has gone by.  Of course, the only reason I can do this is because of my wonderful and amazing hubby who is going to be with the kids now. I’m so lucky that I have this chance to jump into something I love and see how it all works out. For an interesting experiment, I’m testing out this link to a walk in wine cellar article. Pay no attention. 🙂

Wish me luck 🙂

Kristi, that is incredible. Dad gets to be with the kids and you get to go and do amazing grown-up stuff. I love it. Good luck to you and your new adventure! Sorry I never was able to hook up with you and the kiddos. Hopefully, we can make it happen soon. xoxo
