Surprising News!!!

Sorry if you're getting sick of me. I don't usually blog so much. I'm sure you'll be glad when I'm working again. 🙂 But my news is I just received an email from the "acting" director of the place I just left. Last week I had swallowed my pride, asked for a reference from her and a copy of all my certifications.

This afternoon she emailed me and asked if I'd like my positive reference written or by phone and said she'd copy all my transcripts, certifications and advanced training and send them to me ASAP!!! I cried with relief and gratitude and sent her a big thank-you! My husband said "Good. That means she's a good winner." Big sigh...Normally I would have smoked to celebrate but I had a cup of coffee and a Halls instead. 🙂

It's really hard to ask for a job.  It's hard to ask for a good reference.  These things make you feel like a beggar.  They didn't make you smoke, though.  Nice looking tulips.  Wonder what they smell like?

She's not giving you anything you don't deserve and she knows it.  Probably a hollow victory for her.

Anyway, glad you have what you need.  I'm thinking maybe you can celebrate with something a little more fun than coffee and halls 🙂

So, Ms Acting can be magnanimous.  Oops, I've had a coupla wines and that spelling looks bad, but you get my point.  Take those references, get a great job with good people and your kids will follow.  She thinks that she is the winner, but you are the winner and you didn't smoke over it.  You go girl!
