Happy Belated Birthday to Me
Wednesday was my birthday (I'm 23 or don't ask) and yesterday I got the BEST PRESENT EVER in the form of a new job. I've been unemployed since November and really too stressed out about the financial situation to want to discuss it here, or really, anywhere. I have a fantastically wonderful, caring church, and they took very good care of us while we had NO income (regular grocieries, paid our utilities and rent, etc, even gave us a lot of Christmas presents for the boys) but it's been beyond painful just the same.
A few weeks ago I had two interviews at a company downtown that I really liked. The work seemed good and challenging while still reasonably within my expertise, and the pay better than I've earned anywhere else, ever. It came down to me and one other person, and they hired the other person. Needless to say I was crushed, and I'd like to pretend I didn't invent fantasy situations in which they were disappointed with the other candidate, fired her, and then called me back for the job. That's not very charitable. And actually, I'd *really* like to pretend I didn't entertain those wishes, because that's just what happened yesterday. I'm starting on Wednesday.
*huge sigh of relief*
Being married to Ryan, btw, continues to rock.
