Well, one of the calls I thought would be a good one didn't turn out that way. ka sera sera.. I know that's spelled wrong but phonetically correct? Eff, not even sure I know what it means other than "Life goes on, whatever will be, will be." Or something like that.
Still waiting on another call.. I've been offered but HR has to do their thing first. I'm kind of excited about the opportunity. It pays 40% less than my last one and the work time hours aren't so good. But, friends...I've been unemployed for nearly a year. I'm at a point that I'll take, well not anything, but I hope to at least have a new job that will provide job satisfaction and a decent income.
Two, three years ago I'd of never taken this job - of course at that time I was fully employed with a great company, good pay and benefits, great hours...Things change. I changed that, threw all away and moved to Hawaii. Decisions made, not for the betterment of income..I am where I am now.
Thing is....I tell this to myself. I say, Dan you made big bucks, lived in a nice home and were alone. I also say, Dan, you can make a reasonable pay, live in a nice home and be with your wife..... Believe it or not? The choice wasn't easy. Call me a A.....e. Cause I am.
I made the move here and my particular job expertise is not needed here so I take what I can get. I applied for a job, terrible hours, they were on call 24/7 365. The guy I talked to, owner of the company decided I shouldn't take the job because I was overqualified...What?!!! It was a neat job, ****ty hours but good pay.. A young person's job for sure.
He probably did me a favor not hiring me. But, I got to tell you guys, it was a let down! In the long it was probably for the better.
This looking for work stuff is not something I'm accustomed to.. I was hired by a big company before I retired from the military. After that people just kept hiring me or wanted to hire me..I got a big head from it! - so to speak.
Well, now I'm humbled God. Thank you.
At your service
Dan
