I'm doing 39 things
I did it!
With 31 days to spare, I found a job I like. Well, I found a job I think I’ll like. It’s the very same writing and editing position I spoke of in an earlier post, the one at an area hospital.
I sent my resume and clips in a couple of months ago, but heard nothing back, so I assumed the position had been filled. It wasn’t. I received a call a little over a week ago from the HR office, asking me to come in for an interview.
That interview, led to another interview, which led to another interview. I received word last week, that the job would be mine so long as I passed the mandatory drug test. Which I did. (Let that be a lesson to all you kids out there still smoking that demon weed!)
I start on August 27. I’m fairly excited, but a bit nervous as I have not worked in an office environment for (gasp!!!) almost five years. I’m giving myself daily pep talks to build up my confidence.
I’ll confess I went into a bit of a depression, after having lost out on a couple of other potential gigs. I avoided this website like a plague, in fact, because I had begun to feel like a complete loser for failing to achieve this goal.
In the 10 days before I rejoin the 9-to-5 labor pool, I plan on creating a bubble of positive energy around myself. Thinking positive thoughts doesn’t come naturally to me, but I’m going to work like hell to be less negative.
Right now, I’m going to concentrate on being thankful for the chance that’s been given me.
