The weird part

to get the whole story, you have to read from the bottom of the page up!

So, i didnt get the job. I felt myself getting more and more depressed, more angry all the time, harder to smile and laugh, willing to sit home on my own . . . . so i shook myself really hard . . . 'stop being a dumbass, live life every day' When the right job comes along, you will know. so i put all my energy back into my job, i took on extra tasks, tried to be positive every day, surrounded myself with such positive people outside of work - but still every day i would be awake until 2am cos i was bored . . . . my mind was not being challenged, and i need to be challenged.

Then in April 2010 there was a job posting, the man who had interviewed me had left his job - and it was up for grabs. But holy crap, it was management, 2 full time staff, million dollar budget for the department, 10 committees, lots of travel and weekend work, university education! shit, that did it - not gonna bother applying - i dont even have college.

Again, i shook myself - how will i know if i dont try. So i sent off the resume with a cover letter saying that i had previously been interviewed for an entry level position in the company, but was over qualified. didnt know if that was a mistake or not . . . . . . after not hearing from the company for 6 weeks, i figured it was a mistake. Oh well, maybe i was right - not qualified enough.

Then on June 20, on my way to work a weekend in Chatham, i get a call - can you come in for an interview . . . well, i was gobsmacked! if i am getting an interview, i must be qualified enough. Could i be there next Friday at 10am - well again, the starts were all lining up as i had booked the Friday off as a lieu day. Two good signs already.

would there be a third . . . . . .
