thanks pixie! Its crappy for now but the fact that the owner called and explained the situation and hopes to speak to me next time there is an opening gives me a good feeling.

It's hard to sit tight and wait. I always want IMMEDIATE results/answers and want to get on with it. I'm soooooo impatient!!

update: so I told my boss and she was very supportive about the whole thing and told me we'd work it out whatever happens.

So I got a message thus morning from the owner that told me they loved me and wanted to hire me, but that they needed someone to start sooner then I could. So I told my boss and she said to call them back and tell them that I could start in 2 weeks so I called and the owner told me she would love to hire me but they need someone to start on Friday! (yeah in 2 days!) I wish someone would have told me that before I interviewed. Most places respect that you have to give notice. So the owner said she is keeping my resume for the next time they need someone because I would have been perfect.

So it sucks but I didnt get rejected because I wasnt a fit for gymboree on just not available on a whim.

Such is life!

Oh! That's like bittersweet, it's awesome that you basically got the job but not cool they wouldn't allow you to give notice.

Well I hope it works out when they have the next opening and I'm glad your boss was supportive also.

awww, I am sorry that it didn't work out - but it is cool that the issue was timing.
I am sure the next time they need someone - it will be you!

good luck!! and keep looking for something else...your employer's dickering shouldn't effect your goals.

I have a contract saying that I have to give 30 days notice. In turn, they also have to give me 30 days notice, or 30 days paid if they don't need me anymore. My boss did say that she would try to make 2 weeks work if Gymboree could work it out, but they needed someone in 2 days, and thats just not reasonable. Even if I didn't have a contract, I couldn't screw my boss like that. Since I'm their nanny they depend on me every day. I couldn't just not show up. Even though she has been weird to me at times, they still pay me well, wrote me an excellent reference letter for school, and their son spends every day with me. I couldn't just walk out of their lives and live with myself. It would surely bring bad karma! Plus, I think it would look bad to Gymboree since they know my boss, if I screwed her to work there. That doesn't show them a good worth ethic. There will be other chances. I just tell myself whats meant to be will be.
