Well, I wasn't hired for the permanent position at the Library Foundation. But the woman they did hire is a love. I spent two days training her, then left without saying good-bye to anyone. Tears were too near the surface.
Had another interview yesterday. Everything went well. They are checking my references today. I think I'm beyond hoping at this point. Too many disappointments. Still, I will be near my phone, in case they call.
This past year has been one of reflection, self-examination, career questioning... the one bright spot has been school. Still carrying a 4.0 in all classes but Algebra II. That one kicked my butt. And of course, I'm very happy with Keith. I love the sailboat, the marina... when I think about it, apart from the job situation, I'm very blessed.
Somehow, being unemployed seems to take the shine off of everything else. It's such a personal thing. Makes you question your very foundation. I've been questioning mine for a year now. I know myself so much better. And I'm ready to move forward.
So... I wait... for the phoe call or email that tells me I'm ok. What's that about!!!
