There are very few times in my life where things will absolutely always go my way. Today is one of those days where things were nothing short of fantastic.
It's almost impossible, but we'll go with improbable. This time last year, I would have immediately accepted that bad things would happen to me to balance it out. But I feel much stronger this year, and I'm thankful for everyone who helped give me the strength to realize that.
I woke up this morning thinking I'd just be playing Banished and Final Fantasy VII for a bit before heading off to see my best friends back home. I did not think I would be getting a call from the one company I was really, really, really hoping for. I absolutely did not think it would be an offer to join their team. In fact, when they called the second time, just about ten minutes after, I was so sure it was to say, "Actually, never mind" or something like that. Thankfully, that was not the case.
Jubilation! I shared the news, ran around the living room a couple of times in tiny circles, and probably made the neighbors think that a madwoman was secretly being housed in Scott's apartment. I drove back home, changed my clothes, tossed on my jacket...and found $50.45 in the pocket. What?! I decided not to question it, though I did definitely question it. Eventually I'll remember why I left that very specific amount of money in my pocket. I know that I sometimes keep random money in my pockets because I know I like randomly finding it when I forget...but that's just specific. I must have had another plan. This calls for some brainstorming, but for now, jubilation.
I also got a couple of e-mails from other companies that I was furiously applying to last week. I actually had requests for two interviews! It was a lovely surprise, though I will be turning them down. I do wish I could refer my friends, though. We basically have the same skills. We're like a hive mind. Sort of. But they'd be able to do these jobs with no problem, either. Hmm, well, if anything, I can at least keep an eye out for them. If they want. Well, I'll look anyway.
Anyway, short entry today, as I'm exhausted from all the good feelings that radiated from this phenomenal 25 February. More on the Annie to Abed scale of movies later. For now, goodnight.
