Pins & Needles

Everything that ever happens to me seems to come in droves. It is impossible for things to happen individually for me. That would be too easy.

Last week I noticed a position open at work that I am interested in. I have been in my current position for six years and I am ready for a change. I applied for it in the middle of the week. They called me the very next day and wanted me to interview that day. Of course I was not dressed for an interview that day, so I rushed home at lunch to change clothes. The interview went really well and now I am on pins and needles awaiting their decision.

I have also decided to go back to school this summer. I had taken a year off because my son was having problems in school. While I was appyling for the position online, I was on the phone with the college to get re-enrolled. I went to meet with an advisor Friday and she was very rude. She asked me if I was on the twenty year plan, this was after I told her I have a full time job, a husband, two kids (one of which is Asperger's), and so on. I wanted to have some sarcastic retort, but I was not sure who she was in the department so I did not want to step on any toes that I may need to carry me later. I am so glad I kept my mouth shut because, as it turns out, she was a professor in the department and in charge of one of the areas I may need. I became so indignant at her statement that I registered for a full course in the fall. I may back out closer to time, but she really got under my skin.

So, that was how my week went last week. I have been sitting and waiting for the phone to ring and debating whether I can handle school and a new job with everything else I have going on in my life. I guess we shall see. Just when I think I have enough to handle I got a letter stating I have been selected for Jury Duty. When it rains it pours........
