Now and Later

I think I jinxed myself. I got so excited about being offered a job and now I'm not sure if I have it.

In the last post I said I had a meeting with the manager to discuss the details of the position. Well, I showed up and she didn't.

I ended up meeting with another manager who had no information about me, which means she didn't even know that I was offered the position.

Despite the miscommunication between the managers, she was very nice and said that i would hear from everyone about the position.

A week has gone by with no word from either manager.

I've left messages and still haven't gotten a call back yet. Even if it's just to say that there was a mix up about the job and I'm not hired, I'd still like to know what's going on.

Surprisingly, I am okay with it all.

I don't like the situation, but I'm okay with it because I've done all that I can do about it. I kept up my end of the deal, and the rest of it is out of my hands.

I will admit that I have been obsessing a little about what I possibly did wrong or could have done better, but I did catch myself and not let it take over my thoughts or effect my mood.

I can't afford to let that happen.

I've been trying to see the brighter side of it all.

With me being in school, I've been thinking that it might be for the best that I don't work this semester. It's been four years since I've taken classes and I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things. And, I applied to take another week long training course in December, so it just might be best that I don't have a job then.

Who knows.

At this point, I'm just trying to focus on the bigger picture: school and training.

A job is good for now, but the degree and certificates are good for later.
