Disappointments, beauty in everyday life
The job that I wanted more than anything turned me down yesterday. I got the wonderful, "Thanks but no thanks" letter in the mail. Like a 5 year old I cried walking home from the mailboxes. I realize there was 52 applicants, and out of that 52 I was chosen with a group of 13 to be interviewed. I didn't make the second cut. He was going to pick a group of 6 to interview a second time. There were TONS of qualified people applying for that job, I guess I should be grateful I even made it to the first round of interviews. My downfall was that I have no system experience. It's hard to go up against people who have been working in Criminal Justice and have a criminal justice degree. My Penn State degree helps me get a cut above the rest, but doesn't get me past those with experience.
Everyone including my fabulous husband and best buddies AND MY mom did a fabulous job cheering me up yesterday. Wes and I went for ice cream with the dog. I honestly had a great time, I ended up dropping my scoop right into the dogs mouth, and ended up splashing ice cream everywhere on myself, in the car, on the dog. Wes started laughing at me and my mess, so I threw ice cream on him. I seriously almost peed my pants laughing. I love moments in life like that. In so many ways I am so lucky to have the wonderful life I do.
I applied for Treatment specialist for Dauphin County Prison. It pays better than the probation position and its closer. Well see what happens. This economy is terrible. I am so lucky to be where I am as it is. And It's not that I dislike my job, I actually really enjoy it, I just want to work in my field and get paid better money.
For now I'm going to keep applying, keep my head up, and enjoy what I have in front of me!
