I Get By . . .
I'll start with a quote from The Beatles this time, because it seems appropriate. "I get by with a little help from my friends." Last night seems to be a perfect illustration.
It was late last night, and I remembered that I hadn't checked my answering machine since I got home. When I did, the last message turned out to be from Mr. Wiggles, a former coworker. This was something of a surprise, since I had lost touch with Mr. Wiggles since I was downsized from the place where we worked.
As I listened to the message, I was especially pleased to hear from him. I had heard that he had also left our former employer not long after I did. He was calling from wrok, and told me that a couple of positions had opened up there, and he wanted to know if I was interested.
Was I interested? Does Horatio Caine have red hair? Does Abby Sciuto have a spiderweb tattoo on her neck?
I wrote down the number, and immediately called. Mr. Wiggles works second shift, and I was hoping that I would catch him while he was still there. No luck. According to the person who answered, he had just left for the day (or night).
I'm not certain when he does come in, so I will have to wait until this evening to call again. It would be nice if I could get the job. My skills at that job are a little rusty, but I don't think it would take too long to blow off the rust. It would be great to work with Mr. Wiggles again, plus there were a number of others from our former employer working there. It would be nice to see some of them again, too.
Keep your fingers crossed.
