Shocking Development!
Today marked the beginning of incredibly unbelievable times. A shocking time. A time where I have never ever experienced joy and utter laughter in my life. I felt like I have finally accomplished something. Someone out there is realizing that I HAVE accomplished SOMETHING. I am actually GOOD at something! I finally realized that I may have a PURPOSE in life. Someone might actually recognize me for something! Yesterday, I was thrilled for two reasons:
1. I got a phone call from a department on campus for a job position that I didn’t even remember I applied to! I then discovered I applied for it about 3 weeks ago when I suffered from manic insanity depression mood. If you were keeping up you would remember what happened. Anywho… it is a technology teaching job and designer! In that sense.. more details later. I thank Sapphire who actually mentioned the idea that I would be a good teacher a couple of days ago in the comments for my post post about work. It’s funny how you guys can actually analyze my writing and behaviour and come up with such judgments. It seems to be true!
2. I went shopping yesterday and spent all night dancing!!
However, today was more exciting and sad.
1. I got a call back with exact interview time for that job (in two weeks) and there will be a panel of 5 people interviewing me. 3 professors, 1 manager, and 1 human resource lady. Wow. I was like FUCK! SCARY!
2. I began implementation and setup of my mini-business I am doing. Just a little bit more tweaks and I will be launching soon by early next week. I need a marketing plan implemented on the weekend. I am spending a lot so I can make A LOT!
3. Around 2 pm today, which was the same exact time the human resource lady called yesterday, (it seems to be their time to call people), another human resource lady called. The one in charge of the entire friggen University! I was dumbfounded! I kept thinking in the back of my head of what the hell did I apply for that the official University human resource lady is calling me for!
She said, “you available next week?”
I said, “sure..”
She said, “how about Wednesday.”
I said, “ok, no problem.”
She said, “I will e-mail you right now the full job description to review and please bring with you all your references.”
I said, “OK!”
She emailed me the official job description. A SEVEN page document. Then I read the title of the job position, and I said, “WHAT THE !!!!!” God just decided to send some angels my way. All that desperate prayer and depression has gotten God sympathizing with me so badly! Were you people praying for me too? Seriously! I LOVE YOU ALL!
Last Friday when I heard the news that our work will not be funded anymore, and going through an appeal process and next year will be ever so gloomy job wise if things are not going to go positively, a shining light hit my way. Friday night, when I was sad, crying, depressed, unsure of what I should do and what the future holds, I applied for a job position that was just posted the day before. (I apply internally on Campus since I work there and it is easier to do so.) The job is for a main programming job for the second or third busiest sites on Campus. A really important University job. I was like, whatever, I will apply for anything. I am desperate and I am scared.
Tuesday morning, I looked at the job postings with my co-workers, and it was gone. Job postings are held for at least a week on the system then taken off every Thursday afternoon. I was like huh, this is weird. Oh well. They probably took it off cause they found someone really fast. It is like a standard I have seen that jobs are placed at least a week on the system. From Thursday to Thursday minimum. So I was a little shocked and I was like, what the hell, who cares. I wouldn’t even be recognized for it.
BUT, I WAS! I WAS! *JUMPING HYSTERICALLY UP AND DOWN* I was called in for the interview for THAT position! I was more in shock today than I was yesterday! The interview for the first job is not for another 2 weeks, but seriously, what the heck!! I am speechless. I am so happy only because I was JUST considered. At this point I don’t even care if I get the job or not. I was RECOGNIZED. That’s all I care about. To be recognized for achievements so I know that I have done something in my life and others want me!
However…
4. I am sad because I don’t want either jobs. I really don’t. I want to stay at my current job. I have sincere emotional attachment to that place. I put up with it so much through bad and good times. I can’t imagine going off to work at the University and not going to that exact same place anymore. To not see my boss anymore and just thinking how much he had to put up with me for 5.5 years and didn’t fire my whining ass till now. It makes me sick just thinking about it. I shut my brain today. After all this excitement I have convinced my self to not think anymore. No more thinking about tomorrow. I am going to take things one step at a time and no more thinking.
Everything happens for a reason.. and I am just going to follow whatever I was meant to do in this life, just one step at a time.
This is currently my favorite song because this is how I am feeling right now. This is just the way I are! Do you also like me the way I are??
