In My World
March 8, 2005
As Ice Cube once said, "Today was a good day." It is with much sadness that I bid adieu to my unemployed life. Today I secured a contract to do some recruiting work for a major company. The best thing about this job is that it's neither permanent nor perfect. You see, a short-term job will ensure that I pursue other things. A temporary job will ensure that I stay uncomfortable. Comfort is the enemy of productivity. In my brief stint as a jobless wonder, I figured out some things I already knew:
I also found out today that I've been invited back to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Today I also mastered a banana pudding recipe I've been working on for weeks. Indeed, today was a good day. Thanks to all who have prayed, encouraged. This "situation" isn't over yet, but things are looking up. I won't for one minute take one bit of the credit. He knows who He is. 
Glad to hear it. Upward and onward. Many congrats on this position. Should give you the space to flex your punditry muscles. I know how you feel, I got "that call" last week (though "permanent", whatever that means in today's workplace), yet it won't sideline my short or long term goals. It may facilitate them. You are learning about your mission/ministry. Good luck with getting your own Truck. Good for you. May you have many good days. Evon Great news on the 'nanner pudding! Most anybody can make money, but good 'nanner pudding is art. I'm confident that you are seeking God's will for your life and work, finding the place where He wants you to be. Multitudinous blessings upon you. Yay! I'm very happy for you, especially the PI part. You have been given a gift, more people should be able to enjoy it. Praise Him! I'm with you on 1, 2, & 4. Good to hear your news, especially the invitation from the PI. To quote the late Curtis Mayfield, 'Keep on Pushing'. You have that vision thing, so allow NOTHING to interfere with it. My bet is that you are stubborn enough to do just that. Interestingly enough, you share Chris Rock's point of view on comfort. He said it hurt his comedy. May you remain uncomfortable until you acheive more than anyone--including yourself--thought you had a right to. Peace. How'd I miss this! Congrats, Miss N. I like the contracting netherworld too. Neither twixt nor tween, but a healthy paycheque nonetheless. Keep swingin, Ambra. Next vine up ahead. Aw man, you missed your chance! { Comments are now closed for this entry. } |

Congrats on the contract job. I love them, too. They keep money in the bank without sucking your future down the tubes.
