GOD works

As Barry Bonds became the new home run king, I was rejoicing that I've finally gotten a grip on my life and where it's moving. Some months ago, I was venting about my lack of control over my job and how I wanted to exorcise my boss. Actually, my very first blog was of my pain in my position. Since then, I've had failed job interviews and times when I just walked out of my office in frustration. And I figured, God wants me to learn something from my job, and I'm not listening because he hasn't blessed me with another one yet. So, I vowed to listen...and have been doing so for the past month now. And office life has gotten a lot better. My boss is rarely here and, when she is, she's cordial in the least, and sits in her own office and listens to her music. No forced communications. If she needs something, she asks and not demands. I'm happy running the office my way. It's all good.

And my blessing came yesterday.

Someone called me from a job I applied to and had an interview for in March. Yes, 5 months ago. I had let the job possibility go after 1 month of no-hear.

They had actually hired a woman who had quit recently, so I'm guessing I was the next best thing. [Actually, the woman had worked for the company owner in a previous job, so she got it out of default. I was the better woman!] ha!

It's a part-time position, 16 hours a week, where I'll be managing the office of the security company my boyfriend works for. I'll be pretty much doing everything I do everyday anyway, with the addition of filing and a bit more organizing. And a lot better scenery! I will keep my day job and go to that job 4 hours Tuesday through Friday, and still go to school on Monday nights.

I'll have my foot and leg all in the door when the position becomes full-time. Then, they want to make me HR Manager.

It's funny how God works, right?

Did I mention I'll be starting in a double-digit wage?

Thank you, Jesus! I won't let you down!
