I got a job....at a bird store!!!!

Post by Nerine » Sat Feb 25, 2017 6:18 pm

Feeling super excited today! I finally got accepted at a new position after being forced to quit my day job last October. I am also self-employed with an online store, but it's been a huge struggle these last few months trying to make ends meet.

I must have sat at the kitchen table in shock for at least an hour after I got the call. I'm so incredibly thankful for this opportunity....thank you to all of my family and friends for praying for me, and encouraging me not to give up!!!

And thank you to everyone on FF here, who continue to inspire me :)

I'm so happy to be working with something that I'm passionate about; with birds and bird products all day.... \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/


....I start next Wednesday!

Nice job! (Wait, was that a pun? Oops.) I think I would also enjoy a job at a bird store; I'm watching you, Wild Birds Unlimited :)

Wonderful news. You'll be a super person to give birdy advise etc for the shop. And queries you perhaps don't know you have the Finch forum for!

my father use to say, " find a job you love, and you will never go to work another day in your life". Have fun, when you go to play!
