Persistence is a Virtue too

I don't know how many times I have to learn this lesson over and over, hopefully not many more, but seriously, there is a plan out there for all of us and we just have to be led by the plan sometimes. I know that seemed a little on the religious side and you can certainly take it anyway you want, for me, I'm reading it as God had a plan for me and of course I didn't understand it at the time, but now I do. I'm not an uber religious person nor do I push any kind of beliefs on anyone else, actually, if you knew me, that might actually seem weird for me to say anything God-related. I think of myself as more of a spiritual person, in a non hippy fashion. :)

Needless to say, I received good news on the job front today. The position that I was actually offered last month and then had it rescinded due to lack of university funds to pay for the position, may still have a chance to come back to me.

And now I realize the reason for the wait (or at least the one that I choose to believe anyways). My current employer gives out profit sharing bonuses on Nov 16 (my birthday, of all great days in history). Being able to get this bonus was the ONLY redeeming factor and silver lining to not getting that position. With the bonus, I can pay off my credit card and start at zero each month to pay the balance in full. If I had gotten that position when it was initially offered to me, I would have left my current job without getting the bonus... now I MIGHT be able to have both! There is still a "might" dangling over my head, because the student editors are going to the Student Gov to request the additional funds needed to pay the position. SGA can still say no or not have enough to offer, as they control the budget for all organizations on campus.

It was just a horrible "Catch 22," the position is to be funded by the revenue of the ad sales, BUT they need someone in the position to INCREASE the ad sales revenue in order to pay the position.... I will have my fingers (toes, arms, legs) crossed hoping that all goes well.

Even if I don't get the position, I will know that I'm worthy of great things and, again, to learn that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!!!

Happy Day-After-Stuffing-Your-Face-With-Obscene-Amounts-Of-Candy Day!
