this morning i got an email from my old director from RCHMB (we still keep in touch), asking if i was interested in joining the pre-opening team for the ritz-carlton, denver, scheduled to open next spring. man, talk about bad timing. or not? i had to really think about it, and talk it over with W. i mean, it would be easy to join RCD, afterall, i'm familiar with the company, the policies, the job (i would join the sales team to book business before the hotel opens, making sure those rooms are filled!). but i had to remind myself why i left the hotel biz to begin with. the long hours, the low pay...the room discount was nice, but when did i ever get a day off to use it? and plus, i really like where i'm at right now and i'm learning a lot, preparing myself to make the big bucks. cuz frankly, at this point in my life, it is about the money! but it's also about a career path. i mean, i'm almost 30 (holy cow) and i feel like i'm still figuring out what i want to be when i grow up! hello, shouldn't i know this by now? why haven't i figured it out? am i wasting too much time romanticizing about certain "dream" jobs? well, i feel like i have it pretty good right now, and i really want to give this mortgage stuff a chance before i just put it aside (again). working at RCD isn't totally out of the question, but not right now. maybe later. maybe...
