Full Time!!

My job turned full time! I am so excited.

Story:

I started working at Rainmaker back in mid December. I got hired as Billie's (the owner) executive assistant. And it was awesome because it was only three hours a day and I could do that and take two classes at once so I could get my Masters faster; the Masters program is actually set up for working full time adults, so "full time" is taking one class at a time every seven weeks, so I figured if I was only working three hours a day I could easily manage two classes at a time.

But then Billie offered me the full time position of Operations Coordinator and I said yes! It is an amazing opportunity to learn and have fun. I love being at the office all day and I love bossing people around (which is basically what I do since I write the schedules and manage the clients). And I'm learning a ton about the industry. At ZL, we did 99% websites and 1% other design. But at Rainmaker it's a completely rounded marketing firm. We do business planning, design, logos, websites, promotional products, everything!

School starts at the beginning of March, so we'll see how it goes. I'm not really all that worried because I when I was an undergrad and taking 21 credits I was working 30 hours a week and wasn't phased. I know grad school is going to be harder, but I also was never really phased by upper level 300/400 classes like a lot of people were.

We will see how it goes!
