"It requires uncommon steadiness of reason to resist the attraction of being called the most charming girl in the world." ~Mansfield Park
Well, today was my day of mourning the loss of the job I wanted. I've eaten my feelings and wallowed in my devastation, but today was all I get. Tomorrow I will praise the Lord for opening the doors I haven't walked through yet, and Monday is a new day to find the right job for me! Tomorrow is also the day I get back on my healthy eating regimen. Eating badly hinders my good attitude, and my lack of exercise enables the sadness. So here we go....even if I don't get the job I want; I will feel and look good. That was really more of a pep-talk to myself.
The real reason I decided to post this was to say, yes I am sad I didn't get the job I wanted but to also share what happened today. I actually went to a Receptionist interview tonight at a Salon owned by a nice Indian woman. She took me into the room and first complimented my eyes, "Your eyes are beautiful. Are they blue or green?" Then we talked about my former job at a Skin Spa, "Is that why your skin is so beautiful?" We talked about pay and hours but they are not paying nearly what I need to pay my bills. She told me to call her and let her know if I wanted to accept the job, and it's OK if it's a "No". The employer doesn't always have to be the one that says, "No". Then she said, "I like your personality, your skin, and your eyes." As I walked away from the interview, I thought, God is so funny. The other interview, I walked out feeling unworthy, feeling too fat, not trendy enough, well just not enough. I left this interview feeling like I could take over the world!
