Je Suis Malade

I Am Sick. I thought that you, my readers, however few you may be, deserved an explanation for my recent lack of posting. I have a cold, and just haven't felt like spending much time online lately. As a matter of fact, the only place I've been wanting to spend time is in bed. The past week in SC has been cold. The local meteorologists say it was the last of the cold weather we will see until the Fall..so of course I will get the very last Winter cold that is catching. Our preacher gave it to his granddaughter that my mom babysits. We spend alot of time together so naturally she gave it to me. At least she knows the fundamentals of sharing..haha. It's just a cold, and should be gone soon, I hope, and then I'll be back to more regular posting. Feel free to sleep easy now..I know you were worried ;-)

On the job front, the news just keeps getting more depressing. I got my first official rejection today, and it wasn't the one I was expecting. I'm not sure if that made me feel better or worse. I got a letter in the mail thanking me for applying for the job at Spartanburg Technical College, but after reviewing all applications, the position has been filled. I applied for that job a couple months ago and had almost forgotten about it. I wasn't really counting on it, so it wasn't that bad not getting it, but rejection always hurts.

I called ETT today, since they still haven't called me..a week after they said they would. I was under the impression that they were going to call to let me know of their decision, whether it was to hire me or not. The guy wasn't at his office so I had to leave a message on his voice mail. Big surprise, he didn't call me back. At this point I'm really getting used to the phone not ringing. I would still like the job, and think they are making a big mistake if they hired someone else, but I've come to accept that it's probably not going to work out. At this point I just want to know for sure so I can move on with my life.

Between the comfort that God has bestowed on me lately, and the prayers and encouragement of family and friends, and maybe some of the cold's distractions, and several days of Day-Quil, and Ny-Quil cocktails, I actually am not very depressed. Of course I am somewhat disappointed, who wouldn't be? But I'm trying to stay focused and trust that it'll all come together eventually, and then I can look back on this confusing, uncertain, scary, and troublesome time and laugh at my silly immaturity. Till then...
