Dan's New Gig

So, its official... Dan got a promotion! 

Fitness First has been going through big changes- restructuring, cutting down on staff, and changing the way they do business.  Its been sort of a crazy couple of months for Dan in the work department... lots of uncertainty- as they were deciding who to let go.  Dan's been doing a great job- and has been actively involved in implementing some of these changes, so he wasn't too worried about losing a job- but his position was changed.. which forced him to step out of his comfort zone- and interview for a more senior position.  After several interviews- he made it through- and is now the new National Sales Strategy Manager (he was previously Area Sales Manager).  Woo hoo!  Bug and I are so proud of our man!

We were supposed to go out and celebrate- but unfortunately Dan came down with food poisoning (again! twice in 2 years.. ) .  He is on the mend today- so we might go out this weekend and cheers to his new role.

High Fives Dan Newton!

My New Job at Belle Property

Belle Property Neutral Bay


So, its official.  I am now a working woman!  I start my position as Junior Sales Agent at Belle Property in Neutral Bay tomorrow morning, bright and early, yikes!!  I will be working with one of their top Agents- as his Junior Agent- which is great for me- as I will get a base salary (+commissions) plus I will be learning the ropes from a successful and well established agent.  We went back and forth a bit- and finally agreed on a 4 day/week position - which will give me the flexibility I need to look after Dyllan.

As soon as I secured my new position at Belle Property- I got an email from my old boss (the plastic surgeon) - asking if I wanted to start back up with him 1 day a week- doing his marketing.  So I agreed to this- and will use my Fridays at home to work for him (plus Dyllan had to be in daycare a min. of two days anyway- so it kind of worked out well).  So our new schedule will be:

Monday: Dyllan and I get to hang out all day
Tuesday:  Dan drops Bug off at Yunny's in the morning before work- I go straight into work (I have training Tuesday mornings at 8am)- and Bug stays the night at Yunny and Lozzo's.
Wednesday:  Dan and I both work while Dyllan does Wacky Wednesday- I pick Dyllan up or she gets dropped off at home in the evening
Thursday: Dyllan goes to "School" (daycare)- She will be a "Dragonfly" at Little Dove down the street
Friday: Dyllan goes to school- and I work from home for the Dr./ get things done like laundry, groceries, etc.. that i'm sure I won't have time for during the week (gonna have to get organized here..)
Saturday:  I work- doing open houses (each open house is only 15 min here- unlike in the US where they are 3 hours!)
