So I have had a very unexpected turn in the last week and a half. January 20th, I lost my job. It came completely out of the blue. I came back from my lunch break and within 20 minutes was told that I was being let go for reasons that didn't make any sense. That day was heartbreaking. Primarily because I just felt like everything was getting ripped out of my grasp and mine and Sean's opportunity to save money was lost because if I didn't have another paycheck within 6 weeks we would have been completely broke.
Today I got another job. haha. 11 days later. I interviewed for this job last Thursday, was invited back for a 'work' interview this morning, and got hired this evening. I am working as a receptionist at a Pediatric Dentist office. Pretty sweet! I'm really excited about this job! I will also get to speak Spanish often--definitely a great plus!
I really have no idea what was up with this whole little switcharoo! I'm definitely excited, and now I'm grateful because I think I'll like this job even more than my last one! I guess life just sometimes throws you curveballs and you just have to learn to roll with the punches. Maybe in a few months I'll have a long list of reason why i'm do glad this all happened . . . right now I have a few ideas, but we'll see how it goes. I'm just grateful that my unexpected unemployment only lasted 10 days!
The new job sounds great! I'll call you for details. I'm happy your unemployment wasn't very long. more like a short vacation :)
