WOW... BIG INTERVIEW
Permalink  
 

.... with a surgeon, for a new assistant, this Wed. morning at 7:30am....

I have been working part time only for the practice I worked at for 2 years... and the doctors split up and parted ways, so I began being the one who went back and forth, and scheduled all over the place, which was fine at the time.....

Now I have the potential opportunity to work full time again, and support myself nicely as a newly single woman. To not have to rely nearly 100% on ex-husbands generosity (or future court ordered support) would be a big blessing, confidence booster and all around SHOVE in a great direction.

But... as everything, God's will, right?? Doesn't hurt to pray and be excited though.

The surgeon called me tonight, just a few minutes ago. It was great talking to him. It was even greater being asked to come see him in person Wednesday morning.

What this teaches me is:

1) I have NO IDEA, at any moment, what God has in store for me, and that I have every right to be excited about the "unknowns" in life

2) I am indeed still employable, and capable of getting out there and wowing folks in my field

3) I am valuable, regardless of my experience or education level, but these things afforded me through recovery, are truly precious gifts, especially in today's economy

4) If I am not sober, I am totally cut off from the rest of the world out there, and the blessings and opportunities that lie there waiting for me

5) I get to get in some interviewing practice again now, if nothing else comes of it

Yayyy!! Excited!!  If God wants me to have it, then I shall have it. If not, then it was a real picker-upper for me right now in my current circumstances. Good things are out there waiting for me!

aww

YAY! Fingers crossed, but you're right--when the right thing is ready, it will appear. It would be nice if this were it.

I love the way sobriety gives us POSSIBILITIES again.

Hey JJ
Dont do this:

I was in a job interview and I opened a book and started reading. Then I said to the guy, "Let me ask you a question. If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?" He said, "I don't know." I said, "I don't want your job."
- Steven Wright

Good Luck,
Tom
