12.21 Decision - It's On!

Bestest Friend and I are doing a blog project. Every day we will write a blog post on a pre-determined topic chosen by a random noun generator. The theme for the twenty-first day of the month is "Decision."

*******************

I will admit that I have been a bit of a bad bloggy friend the last few days. There are a number of reasons for this. I've spent hours combing through resumes and doing Zoom interviews with people for the open positions at the community center. It is super clear to me why I am not an administrative assistant after I have continuously messed up sending out Zoom links and emailing the wrong people about the wrong things. Ha! The good news is that we have at least five excellent resumes for both of the positions and I really feel like we're going to get good candidates.  

But. 

You guys. I got the job. The job I really thought would be a good fit for me. I signed the contract YESTERDAY. I filled out the new employee forms. I did all the things and will be starting at the end of the month. 

When I got the job offer, I immediately called my husband and do you know what he said to me? He said he was proud of me. Not because I got the job, but because I never gave up. I filled out hundreds of applications. I went on dozens of interviews. Sometimes I got discouraged, but I always went back. And I still kept doing the things that were important to me - reading, blogging, hanging out with my girls, exercising, and volunteering. I was busier unemployed than he was with his job. (You know the saying if you want something done, ask a busy person?)

I know that in another month or two I'll be over here complaining about work, but I'm just so excited that I'm going to be able to do something productive and get paid to do it. Yay!

You know what, though? I never even heard back from the first job I interviewed for even though they checked my references. How weird.

Have you made any big decisions recently?
