I have this amazing friend named Samantha....she was Abigails preschool teacher a few years back and I recognised her Manchester accent so we got chatting - turns out our Sons played soccer together too and she was actually from the same small part of Stockport that I had lived.....
Anyway...we stayed in touch and she is amazing...she has this endless energy (although sometimes I think she only keeps going because if she stopped for a while she would collapse!!!!) and is always volunteering and she helps run preschool activities and all kinds of things around here......this week she is starting a new preschool drop-in group here where I live!!!! Yay!!
I am rambling but Lloyd had remembered that Sams DH works in the music business.....something to do with sound systems but we weren't sure what....we wondered if he had heard of the college that Dan was thinking of studying at (where his interview is today) So I emailed and asked and if he had any suggestions for other courses in the area....
Well Sam phoned last night said that if Dan wanted a job with her DH's company then he could probably start straight away! They NEED enthusiastic young people willing to learn from the bottom and work hard....turns out that her DH is an audio engineer - they set up the sound systems for many of the festivals and concerts in the area - the big events - and they do sound systems for restaurants and stores etc as well and this is EXACTLY what Dan wants to study and work in!!!
So Sams wonderful Husband said that he would check to see if he is working away this week, and if not then Dan can go and spend a day with him to see if its what he wants to do - and he should take his resume!!!!!!!
So Samantha and Ian - not that you read this blog but THANK YOU - you have no idea what that opportunity would mean for Dan!!!
