Wednesday, October 24

I am very happy about today. So many amazing things happened.

Zoe came back from her trip, we spent all day in bed together. Spending a day in bed snuggling with a girl is one of those daydream scenarios that you wish for every second day. It was delicious. We lay around, giggled and so on.

A lesson in being the master of your reality :


A few weeks back I went for a job at the Post Office, I got it, but I didn't like it. So I quit. Quitting meant risking my fortnightly social security payments (i.e a way to pay the rent), as well as upsetting some people and potentially annoying the employment agency that got me the job.

However, I didn't like the job so I quit it.

The job agency wanted me to do an exit interview. The lady (Cheryle) and I, spoke for a while. Why did I quit, what did I like to do, etc etc? She asked.

I told her I was leaving to do a business course.

"Hmm.. it's too bad you're doing this course because I'd have the perfect job for you otherwise" She said, piquing my interest.
"Go on.." I hesitantly replied.
"It's office admin role for an online import company.. they need someone to look after websales and their internet portal"

It was my dream job. But full time... I can't live with full time!

"Just see what it's like" She said.

So I did, I went to the interview, did all the tests, even taught myself Excel in one day. The guys really liked me, and I liked them too, but they could see my hesitation towards the hours. I left the interview thinking I'd flunked it.

Today I got a call,

"Hello Pablo. We've just called to advice that unfortunately you were unsuccessful for the position you applied for, we decided you weren't entirely suitable for the role.

However, we do have an alternative part time opening that we need to fill. It's the same job but less hours. Do you think you would be interested?"

"WOULD I!"

Wow, these guys were offering the hours I was originally after.

I like that I went without knowing why exactly, to check it out, and remained honest to myself and to others and that it all worked out.

It reminds me of the time I talked to God in the mountains of Mexico. At the end of our talk I asked him if there was anything I needed to do in this life or in particular, and he said..

"You just do what you think is right, and let me take care of the rest."

So far so true. :)

Amen.

Cool things about today.

Got the hours I wanted for the job. Amazing mentors in course. One is wise like my grandfather. Spent all day in bed with Zoe. All of us wagged school (Ben, Megs, Z and Me). Bought ticks to Syd. Changed one without a problem. Jesse gave me a birthday muffin. Seeing Rachel on Sunday. Have a drummer to jam with.
