Leaving Osmond Designs

 For the last four and a half months I have worked at Osmond Designs.  It has been a great way to get back into the work force and I ended up making a bunch of new, great friends (co-worker's and customers!)

 Louise was my manager and who hired me. She is great to work with and an amazing lady.

 Noelle, Chelsea (our designer), myself and Monette. We had lots of laughs during our long shifts. 

Chanelle and I got to work together on Mondays and she is a newlywed from Tucson!

Mikhail and I had lots of shifts together and she knows her furniture...another newlywed!

Justin who keeps everything straight for the company sang me, "I hope you have the time of your life" as a good bye gift!

Yes...it made me cry...

Ryan and Ryan....some of our delivery guys!  Love them all!

Walking into the store.... Chelsea does an amazing job as does Noelle on our design!

 One thing I will NOT miss....turning on the hundreds of lamps at the beginning and end of our day.  I started a fun game (after getting my i-phone) setting the stop watch to see how fast we could get the job done!  I know they are going to miss me!!!

 Debbie our gal who works in the back receiving items.  Every day we get new accessories and furniture!  A great place to check out at least once a week!

 Theresa was my buddy from the start!  She kind of gave me the in's and out's of the place!  Helped me wheel out my first cart of accessories!

Had the Osmond Gir's over for dinner on my third day of working my new job at UVI.  Kim (my replacement), Chanelle, Noelle and Chelsea (up front).  We did a baked potatoe bar, made my asparagus tarts and homemade rolls, and Louise made her amazing German Chocolate cake...

                Monette, Louise, Debbie and Donna

                                                       
                       Noelle and Delanea

                                                             Theresa and Mikhail

                                                Delanea, Cathy and Theresa


A little note on why I left Osmond's.  I loved working there and LoveD all who I worked with.  But another opportunity came and I thought I'd apply and interview with Utah Valley Imaging.  They offered shorter hours, more pay, insurance, paid holidays, etc.
I figured...if I have to work then I need to make the most of my time away from home.  The owners of Osmond Designs told me I could always have a job there if I wanted one...which is nice to know. But, as those who have worked retail know...it is hard on your body and life style. Standing on my feet on concrete for nine hours, four days a week took some getting use to but I did. But, I'm excited about having more of a career type job.  I work the front desk at UVI. They offer open MRI's and do pain management.  The people are great but there is not as much drama...that can be good & bad!  I will truly miss my friends at Osmond's but know that we will keep in touch and have many more partee's!!!  Love you girls!
