When I got to the office this morning, BOC came to me and said that Owner wanted to meet with me today. I snarkily said “yeah? I’ve been hearing that for two weeks now.” BOC laughed at me and said, no, it’s definitely happening today.

Whatev. I went to work. I then realized I left ALL of my research materials here at the apartment. I had stopped carrying all that stuff with me when I gave up on chasing the owner down. CRAP!

I went online and did some research and printed a bunch of stuff up.

Of course, he made me wait until the end of the day. I finally sat down in his office at 5:15 (he had asked me to wait). I did not leave his office until 6pm.

I did research on Marketing Asst II, Admin III and Marketing Database Analyst. I took those three salary averages for the Lexington area and averaged them out. This is what I was going to ask for.

I highlighted the job duties that I am currently doing within each section of the thing I typed up. At the end of it I wrote “I believe I’m doing a mix of all three jobs. Since I don’t technically have a job title yet, I figured I’d research all 3″

He LOVED that. He thanked me for doing research on it and coming in prepared and knowing what I need and want. I guess he’s not used to that in his employees.

We talked a bit about what I’m currently doing, some other stuff he would want me to do in the future and then what I did in Vegas. he was very impressed with my history at Metro. We talked about how I’m currently doing up an instructional/procedure manual for the database I’m using, just in case IF this does not work out, someone can come in and follow my book and be able to do what I do. He looked shocked and said “You’ve done these manuals before?” And I said “Oh yeah, I did them all the time in Vegas and since being here I did three emergency procedure manuals for three different office buildings in Louisville.” His response? “Very impressive!”

They offer medical insurance wherein the company pays 50% of the premiums and what not, a company matched 401k and time off whenever I need it. He said he was struggling with the amount I asked for though and would need to think about stuff, although he said he thinks I’m worth even more than what I’m asking for - the only problem is finding the money to pay me what I’m worth.

We then discussed the job duties and I let him know I have a document here at home, listing everything I’ve been doing and as BOC and Papa Grumpy give me more, I add to this list. He asked me to email it to him tonight, so I’m going too.

He asked me for a drop dead date on getting this offer. I told him Monday morning, that would give the FD time to find a replacement if I choose this offer over them. He said OK. He also thanked me for giving him the weekend so he can sit down and come up with a great offer for me.

On my way out of the office, I saw a folder that said “Owner Properties”….OH he does property management too!!! so I turned and said “You do real estate stuff too, right?” he said “Yes I do.” I said “Do you have any houses available that are NOT in the hood and would you accept animals?” He said he has 2 available right now, in good areas. Dogs are not a problem. I then asked him if he had patio homes and he said….are you ready?

“I don’t currently, but I could go out and buy you one.”

I almost fell over. And I said “uhhh” and then said “Oh I do that all the time. I buy an investment property for a family member or friend and then rent that house to them. They do a lease option and end up being the owner of it.” and then he said “ooooh, maybe I could help you out that way too?”

And I said “possibly!”

So he gave me his email address, asked me to email the job duties and my resume and then gave me a website to go find a patio home that I like ROFLMAO

I think the meeting went very well and I’ve never had this feeling before “I’m in demand. People WANT me to work with them!”

And then I got home and there’s a message from some place I sent my resume too and they want me to come in for an interview. I’ll be calling her in the morning. ROFLMAO

Until next time….
