How cool is that??
So.
I stayed behind a year in order to save up enough money to get eye surgery, seeing as I wouldn't have enough after school with a new practice and all. All the money I'd had saved by that point is gone...from little things like eating out once and again, to big things like new glasses and the iPod. I don't really regret anything, except that the saving didn't happen. So I'm preparing to go to school this fall. For real this time, I'm not gonna fool myself that I'll be able to save the total in another year. Let alone live in Aylmer for another year. *laughs*
And yet this morning a woman who works in my building who I chat with on occassion came up to me and asked me what my degree was in. I told her both of them, and she said "that's great. We're going to be opening a competition to the public, we don't want to do it internal 'cause there's some folks we work with we don't think would be suited to the position. I'm having a meeting about it this morning. With your degree you certainly qualify."
She's not the one doing the hiring, exactly, but she's highly involved, including screening out applicants. And she definitely seemed interested in seeing me in the position though maybe she was just being friendly.
...but if she wasn't? She went out of her way to tell me about this new position, which is making *oodles* of money. Maybe she's actually interested in seeing me win the competition.
Maybe there was a reason I decided to stick around for a year. I decided on school again because I wasn't making money now and I had nothing as a career...but I don't need to return to school if I can land this job. Maybe the gods are looking out for me. :)
Or maybe I'm just wishful thinking. Oh well, if I am, at least it's happy thoughts. :)
