Hello friends!
We're moving quickly into spring (even if NYC weather fails to acknowledge it) and man do I have some great news to share!
First, I posted last time about how due to cut hours I had taken on the second job at Blue Balloons. It's not something I had necessarily been super excited about; it meant having 0 days off and being even more exhausted than normal. But I was willing to hustle if that's what needed to happen. But then my manager approached me about moving into a management position at Loft. I had been a Sales Lead at my store in Texas and we had spoken several times during my time at the Flatiron store about moving back up, but there had never been a position open. But now, due to a series of moves within the company, one was! I gleefully told her I was still interested and she sat up an interview with our District Manager.
And I am now, officially, the new part-time Sales Lead at Loft in Flatiron! I am so excited for this new opportunity. Being a SL puts you in a unique position where you can really connect with your associates and help them perform to their best abilities.
You're probably thinking, hey Jordon, remember how you were already stretched really thin between school and two jobs and you didn't have any time off and were permanently exhausted and maybe even a little crabby? Well, this promotion means that regrettably I had to give up my position with Blue Balloons. I hated to do it, especially since I had just come on, but they were very understanding.
This promotion came at a wonderful time because of my second piece of news... We're moving! The lease on our little Crown Heights is up the last day of April, and while we have grown to love this place, we felt like it was time to branch out and get a little more space, and maybe get a little closer to work while we were at it. We (meaning Jessie and I, Leah was on an Israel bound plane) met with Haylee and Christopher of Nooklyn and they were absolutely wonderful. They showed us several places and we actually chose a place that very day. We put in a deposit that night, submitted a file a few days later, and signed a lease just over a week later. It's a lovely little place in Bushwick, close to the L and coffee shops and a bar... Man. I am SO freaking excited. So excited. We move this Saturday. It's going to be wonderful!
We are also now deep into the throws of rehearsals for Eastern Standard. A separate blog post coming son!
