sometimes your the guano.
today could have been a guano day for me, thank you very much. but i wasn't going down like that.
i had a line on a part time job, doing narratives, that would have enabled me to work from home at night, instead of driving home late from the bowling alley. i know, i know....but you love your job at the lanes heather. your right, i do. but i love my kid more and having to wake him up at 1030 at night to bring him home after i get off? well it sucks. he is exhausted...i am exhausted. it's just hard.
i have waited for a month to find out about this job. i've waited a reasonable amount of time AFTER receiving an email telling me they would get back with me. did they? well hell no, i had to ask for an answer. it wasn't meant to be. there are reasons for everything. thank god i get that.
was i bummed? you betcha. did i kinda already know that it probably wasn't meant to be due to the length of time and lack of contact? yeah. i kinda already knew. so what now? so i suck it up, remember that i am lucky to already have a second job and have faith that things will work out.
that's what.
know what else? i have people who love me. who listen to me and support me. and who felt disappointment for me and gave me shoulders, so that i could be sad...for just a minute. i think i am way more blessed than i probably deserve to be. :)
you dig?

8 interject here.....:
Those dirty bat bastards...
Yeah, just freakin' swell!!
nasty ass bats is right! Is there anything more pride sucking than the whole job search process? I know exactly how you felt and where you were as you sat and waited. I swear if I am ever in a situation of hiring? I would NEVER forget what it is like to be sitting on the very quiet end of the phone.
Bats freak me out. But then, any blind, rabies-infected, animal that flies screeching through the night sky is gonna do that.
Hiring managers freak me out too, but for different reasons, although some of them may have rabies and most of them are definitely blind, I've never seen one fly (without a broom).
hahaha! i love you guy and tango!
and guy your post today? has me thinking that maybe i should look at my own self a lot more closely before i get a whiney about others not following through. oy.
and dana? here here on that.
ib-brotha man? you just a mouthful. bitches and brooms.
thanks guys...you are the part of the reason i am blessed more than i think i should be :) xo
You have the right attitude that it just wasn't meant to be. Something better is waiting for you on the horizon! Think positive!
Your kid can fall asleep in a bowling alley? I'm impressed!
I hope a great p/t job comes slong soon!
i feel your pain. really. the job hunting process is so...horrible. and bats are just nasty. blech.
