Remember that job I was hoping to get? Well, 2 days ago, I found out that I DID NOT get it. They told me that I was a very strong candidate and had very valuable technical experience, but I was their second choice and if something came up, I could apply again.
I was bummed. BIG TIME.
But.......yesterday, my friend (the one that was trying to get me hired on there) called me and told me that he was putting in his two weeks notice because he was accepted to join the Phoenix Police Department's Crime Scene Investigation Unit. Yeah, a real CSI. Haha. So......that left an opening.
So yesterday, I emailed the guy that interviewed me and told him that I would still be interested if anything opened up.
A few minutes ago, my cell phone rings and it was a call from Denver, Colorado. I almost didn't answer it because I figured it was a bill collector or telemarketer. It was the Human Resources Department and they asked if I was still interested! It's amazing how things seem to turn out. Of course I said yes.
So guess who just got their dream job?
ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a pretty cool job too. I'll be over-seeing a few hundred television stations, a couple of national satellite dishes and 4 satellites in orbit around the earth. Pretty sweet deal. I'm happy too because it is still in broadcasting and it just gives me a chance to expand my career.
It doesn't pay what I made in radio, but it is pretty darn close.
I still have to pass a skills test and it may be another week before I actually start or get a start date, but she told me I was IN!
I can't believe it. This is going to make such a big difference for the boys and me. We will actually be able to get out of the rut we've been in for so long.
I'll finally be able to get stuff that we need....
Get caught up on a few things....
Maybe, just maybe start to have a social life again....
I can't even explain the difference that this is going to make for us. It will help us so much!
I am relieved.
So relieved......
Whew!

I just logged in....lo and behold!! Tad got a job!
Yessss! You did it. The hard work paid off and now you can really focus on re-building a new life. With some extra money, you can pay off your debts and then think about how you'd want to create your own future. Amazing, isn't it.
Thanks guys. I was almost in tears when I got off the phone with her.
So happy and relieved.
Time to move on and finally start to rebuild.

I'm very happy to come here and read that you got the job. Now, on to the skills test, which I'm sure you will pass w/flying colors.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
