Some things are meant to be

others aren't. Sometimes timing just isn't right.

I had my interview, it went pretty well, fairly short. The principal said they should know by today. Got a call walking from the parking structure into work. They decided to go with a different candidate. Called my mom. I think she was more upset than me. I'm surprisingly okay, because it just wasn't the right time. I've got some good stuff going for me where I am, and I didn't really want to leave. They're working to get me a full time position with the full benefits package and everything, and now I can tell them that I would like that, and I will be here. It's all working out. I won't have to move, I won't have to leave my fabulous apartment that I absolutely love. I'll still be across the street from B and a short drive to the bf's, 5 minutes from work.

It will happen, it just wasn't time yet. And I'm strangely relieved. I don't have to deal with variables or complications or schedules. I don't have to worry about making enough money. I'll get to do that soon, and for now I just need to take those additional music courses and give student teaching another go.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments and good wishes and prayers. I really appreciate them.

Your awesome job WILL come. And when you are completely ready for it. :-)

Well, look at the bright side, you still have a wonderful bf. to encourage you until you find that perfect job. The job will probably show up when you least expect it.

Hang in there and have a good night;)
