Okay, so this past week, after resigning from the potential new job gig, I ran into an former instructor at FPE. She asked how school was going, “Great, because I’m finished.”
“Where are you working?”
“I’m not, so if you know of anything…”
Her eyes lit-up and she said, “you know, I may have something. Give me your phone number.”
Sure enough, by the next day, I was offered a job at FPE. It’s a thousand hour position, no benefits, but the pay is more than I’ve made in years, and I will be working at a place I know and love.
The next day, I went into talk to my former boss to put a bug in her ear about any possible job opening. Her eyes lit-up and she said, “I need someone in the writing lab on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays from 8-10…and maybe in the evenings Monday-Thursday. Can you get me a copy of your transcripts and a job application?”
“Sure can. You will have both my tomorrow.”
This gig is not set in stone, but if it works out, I can work both jobs and the writing lab pays ridiculously well. I could also see that she had the wheels in her head turning to see if there were any other possible openings around FPE.
The writing lab would not start until the fall, and the thousand hour job does not start until the end of July, but still, it’s something, and I am very thankful for that.
On another front, I have met a very wonderful man and we are spending almost every free second we have, together. It’s been pure bliss. Absolute pure smiling bliss. (and I catch myself biting my lower lip when I drift off in my thoughts thinking about him.) I feel really, really good about him. Really good. Very happy.
So, I’ve been home for about a month, and I would say things are coming together quiet nicely.
It’s about f’in time.
**high five**
Complete awesomeness.
Holy turn-around, Batman! Let’s hope these positive turns of events last a little longer than the first go-round!
And how come this place won’t post my fabulous new picture? Instead, I get some airy-fairy quilting pattern! Yick.
Well, I’m rooting for you.
