An Unexpected Job: Subtitle, Dragon Chic is a Psychic

Seriously? Christy? "One or two more job opportunities coming your way, unexpectedly"? Were you talking to the POB (powers that be)?

So we were picking my son up from school yesterday when I got a text from my friend who works as an enrollment director for the On Track program at a local community college. This program gives classes and testing for the GED. I've desperately wanted to work for her, but positions are rarely open. I am, however, on the list to sub there. This is good, because it gives me a foot in the door.

The text says "Do you still want a job with us? I'm calling you." So she did.

And now I have a job. Well, a semi-permanent job. It's part time evenings teaching language arts! FABULOUS! And I'm still on the list to sub there as well as at my son's school! Even though it's part time, once you deduct the cost of childcare I'm left with enough that month to pay the mortgage, which is great! That's our biggest bill.

But now here's my question: When the library calls offering me that job, what shall I do? I guess I'll try this job out, see if I like it. It could be that it leads to a better position. It could be that I hate it will leave for the library. I have a good feeling about that library job. I guess this is a "when it rains it pours" kind of situation, only instead of raining shit, it's raining gumdrops!

Oh! Whoa is me! I have too many jobs to choose from! Boo hoo! (That last bit was sarcasm in order to point out how yesterday I was crying over having no job, and now I have a job and more than likely will be offered another one.)

Ask the Universe, and the Universe abides.
