Still holding my breath

Well, I went on an interview Tuesday and got hired. They asked me to start Monday. This was thru the same agency I've been working with. Earlier this week I applied for about 15 jobs on my own that I found in the newspaper. One of them called me yesterday to interview today. I got hired for that one too! Perhaps my luck is looking up. I have always interviewed really well and it's worked out for me this week. After I accepted the first job I was kind of nervous about it. It's in a field that I know nothing about and have no experience in. It seemed a little high pressure also. So when this other place called me I was really crossing my fingers. It's doing something I'm much more comfortable with and would actually look forward to. So I decided that as long as this second offer paid the same or more as my first offer I would take the second instead. I will withhold the details for now since my luck has not been so great. I don't want to update my blog with "I'm doing this now" or "I'm doing that". I'll just see if it works out for awhile first. LOL. Hopefully my bad luck streak has ended. I'm not relaxing just yet though. Out of the two jobs that hired me this week I have picked the one that I think will fit well for me. I had been all excited before because the job I had that lasted a week was so close to my house. Somehow I've had a stroke of luck and the two places I interviewed with this week are equally as close. Actually both are closer by about a mile. The job I've chosen is a permanent position. I applied for it on my own so I don't have to do the temporary to permanent thing. It's not a receptionist postion. Which is great. I'm sick of being a receptionist. Typically the receptionist is the "mother" of the office. In which, she does far more work that anyone notices or appreciates and when she's not there everything falls apart. I'm looking forward to this new opportunity. It will be a challenge. It's a new field for me but I'm a quick learner and I work hard. The best part is that I can wear my business casual clothes (which some of the ones I have are actually really cool) or scrubs. I've always wanted to be able to wear scrubs to work. It's like getting to wear pajamas all day! I suppose that gives a bit of a hint as to what type of job I might be taking. I'll just get into the details later. So for those of you that said a little prayer for me the other day I appreciate it. I have a feeling that God is listening. I am thankful. Keep praying though. Getting the job hasn't been the hard part for me lately. It's been keeping it. Which I'm still stunned by. I've never had a job that I was at for less than 2 years until now.

I will have to remember to post some updates about the kids when I get a minute. Caden has been having trouble at school and that's been quite an experience. And Macy is going thru some really weird phase that is really freaking me out. She gets really angry. Not just like a normal 2 year old tantrum but like psycho angry where her face gets red, she balls up her fists and yells crazy things. I'm hoping it's a passing phase. It's a confusing thing to watch. We don't treat her like that. I don't know where she's learning this. Anyway, I'll post again later. I'm going to need some parenting advice!

So keep your fingers crossed for me. It'll be at least a month or two before I will be able to relax and feel like my job situation feels somewhat secure. I just hope that I fit in well with the other employees and that they see I work hard. I hope people accept my personality and give me a chance to excel there. I guess we'll see!
