Remember that one time I spent 6 months applying for jobs and felt like this all day? Remember how that never really paid off but instead I got a job through a connection (girl in my ward's dad)? Remember how I got offered to work full-time 8:30-5:30 starting next Tuesday before they even saw my resume or had an interview? Remember how the same aspect of job-hunting that has semi-crippled me up until this point is the only way I'm getting a job now? (through connections, which I have lacked up until now) Remember how I would have complained about having a secretarial job before but now I don't care? Remember how I don't even care about all of that and just feel so so so so grateful?
Yeeeeeeeeeeah, baby.
Do you KNOW what this means?
1. I will be able to experience the joy inherent in working hard again!
2. I will most likely be able to build up a savings account again!
3. Maybe I'll be able to reach my #1 goal of 2012- move out before the cockroaches come back!
4. First step to becoming more independent!
5. I can buy my own conditioner at the store and not have to budget it in! (But I probably will create a budget anyway!)

all I can say is that this is becuz a dat attitude flow chart, yo. I would totally punch the camera too if I got a job!!! YEAH!!!!!!!PS: Is that dad's yellow tee?
ReplyDeleteBTW: I would have said something really encouraging but I already talked to you about it so you know I'm proud a you girl.
Lindsey, the pictures of you are worth a thousand words!! I hope you meet your goals in 2012!
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who don't know, Lindsey will be working at Keysource Commercial Bank. The CEO and founder of the bank is Donald Draughon who was a counselor in the Durham stake Presidency with Dad under President Lee. Brother Draughon's daughter is in Lindsey's ward and he asked his daughter if she knew of anyone looking for a job. His bank recently "merged" and they needed more help. There you have it - the connection.
how I feel about you being employed= pretty much the exact same four pictures, but with my face instead of yours. :)
ReplyDeletelove you mucho girr. SOOOO happy for you.
YEAH!!! Now, you should do a post of you posing in your new prof garb. You go, sista!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Lindsey! Isn't it lame that after all that work it was the connection that got it?! I'm very happy for you, though. For all the five reasons listed above, but for many others, too. You passed a difficult time period successfully. It's forward only from now on!!
