Happy with Disappointment!

I think that's what my English teacher would have called a double negative? I can't remember... sounds right...

But I am Happy with some disappointing news. lol

Several weeks back I applied yet again for a different position at my work. (I currently am what's called a Facility Tech. It's a glorified name for house keeping) The first job I applied for at the hospital was an Admitting Rep. (front Desk) I later applied for 3 different Facility Tech jobs, in which I finally got one of them! Been working Since March of this year. I like my job, minus the physical aspect of it. It's not bad, it's just wear and tear on my body I rather not do. BUT it's a job and I like that!

Back to the job I applied for again... I applied for the 3rd time for the Admitting Rep., 2 times I have interviewed for the position.  This position would be an on call shift, which isn't the best but I was looking forward to doing something different.

Last week I interviewed. Felt really good about it. It's a great feeling to leave things in God's hands and not my own. Part of me was concerned what an on-call job would do to the family. Like homeschooling, life in general... but I wanted to stretch myself and learn something new!

I have been signing into my "account" checking the status of my application all this week and today there was a change... The disappointing change.... I was not chosen for the job. Someone with more qualifications was chosen. Even though there was a part of me that was a wee bit sad, the other part of me, a BIGGER part of me was super happy. I put myself out there and even interviewed (which I do not find easy)!

But I am SO SO HAPPY! I DO like the fact I know when I work. I DO like the fact I know my hours and they are the same every day I work. (Sorta. That's another blog) I am very favored with the clinics I "take care of". MOSTLY, I know how much my pay check is every month unless I work MORE hours... I can count on that income every single month! (Unless I sprain my ankle and can't work for 5 weeks. But how often does THAT happen!? HA HA HA) Those few things make me so so happy!

So yes I am HAPPY with DISAPPOINTMENT!  I love finding the joy in growing and stretching!

The part I am excited about is continuing to be "free" on set days to pursue my "love"!
