OPPORTUNITY KNOCKED.....

The day before my birthday, I got a phone call that is going to change my life. In a matter of only a few hours, I had a telephone conversation, a job interview, and a job offer. Full time, Monday through Friday, NICE starting wage, and benefits. Oh and the job involves my graphic design degree. Yeah. So all that college education will be used. Finally.
Before my Daddy passed, he was so appalled that I had spent so much time in school, only to graduate with two degrees and take a job as a clerk in a liquor store. I wish he were here now, so I could tease him. Had I not worked where I am, I would not have this opportunity now. I truly believe that though we may not see it in the moment, all things happen for a reason. I had to be where I was, to get to where I am going.....
I am so excited to get started at this new job. They are sending me for some classes, allowing and expecting me to make a few mistakes, and giving me my own "office" so to speak. I think it's more like my own department really, as eventually I will be responsible for it. Eeeee!! I will be in charge of the graphics department baby!! Did I say yet how excited I am!? Oh yeah.... So the company I am working for is a family. My bosses will know I exist, I already know most of the folks I will be working with, and everyone is very cool. I do need to invest a few bucks in some dress style clothes, but now I actually have a reason to put make-up on, and maybe even look into some cellulite treatments!! (Slacks my friends.... slacks.)
Soooo, this is something I have been dreaming about for so many years. I am totally nervous, a little anxious, and most of all so thankful that these folks are willing to give me a chance. I have so much to be thankful for right now. And... still no baby! LOL! Oh but what a happy week it has truly been!!
