I got a job!!

well,

it took a few weeks,

and,

about about five or six,

applications.

But, I got a job

woo hoo and little jig

Funny,

it’s the first one,

I applied for,

and,

the one I wanted,

customer service,

part-time,

but,

twenty-six and a half hours,

a week,

on four days,

pay is good,

there will be fringe benefits,

and,

it leaves me time to write.

I’m really happy.

It’s a return to my roots,

so to speak,

since it will be on the phone,

nothing to do with books,

but,

it’s great,

something I can live with.

It will involve,

like,

all new jobs,

a learning curve,

and,

adaptation,

but,

I feel really good about all that,

I like to learn new stuff,

keeps you sharp,

keeps you young.

The weight that has been lifted,

from my shoulders,

wow,

I feel ten years younger,

than yesterday,

also,

twenty pounds lighter:-P

I know how lucky,

I am to have found,

quickly,

something that fits,

my needs,

my experience,

my aspirations,

I am so hyped,

so happy.

I was a little worried,

that my age would work,

against me,

and,

with some employers it might,

but,

not these people,

they see the advantage,

of experience,

and,

diversity.

I have to sign the offer tomorrow,

let them proceed,

with a credit and criminal record check,

but,

I’ve got the job.

I start training,

right after Thanksgiving

( Canadian Thanksgiving, which is October 14 th)

Did I mention,

I’m so dang happy

๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks for putting up,

with my angst,

you,

my girls,

are a big part,

of what keeps me,

motivated,

and,

believing in myself.

Big virtual hug to all of you.

๐Ÿ™‚

Later girls,

BB

  1. Oh – so sorry. That’s from Lewis Carroll’s poem Jabberwocky — it’s been the ultimate expression of joy heralding an immense achievement (in the poem it’s the slaying of the Jabberwock). In any event, congrats!

  2. Don’t be sorry, I looked it up, the wonder that is Google and found out from where it came, even read the poem, it made me smile, it made me laugh and I was very touched, thanks Dee:-)
