Working Girl

I woke up extra early today to get ready for my first day of work. I didn’t expect to be working this soon, I wasn’t even sending out resumes, as I am still scouting for a good job opportunity that I would truly enjoy. I didn’t want to be stuck in a dead-end job. I considered working for a call center, but was really reluctant to apply anywhere. I opted for an email support account, but, my heart just won’t let me apply for that company. I needed to do something that is worthwhile, something that would make me feel happy even when I get tired.

Last Friday, my good friend Kate gave me a call, bearing great news. She offered me a job I could not refuse. And no, I didn’t join the mafia for a quick-get-rich scheme, instead, I was hired on the spot by a new company that teaches the secrets of mathematics. Nope, I do not teach math. I had a great time today, even if I lack sleep. All I can say right now is I am on the design team, a team where I feel right at home.

It’s true what they say, when something is taken away from you, something better or great comes along. :)

That is wonderful that you found a job that you are quite happy with. :) I have to agree with you, I would have trouble doing something I didn’t have a great passion or love for. Good luck with it. :)

One of the two best phrases you could possibly have while describing any new job: design team. I wish you all the luck!

Sounds like a great job! I hope you had fun on your first day! I love my job too. I can be at work as late as midnight (I work at a restaurant) and I can still be happy and chipper. That’s when you know you’ve landed something you can be happy with. So I hope this job is something that you can be happy with. :)
