Deserving of Two Posts

The Power of Positive Thinking

Well, I haven’t talked much about it lately, but I’ve been incredibly depressed lately. My joblessness, the stress of moving (and still not knowing exactly where to) and the anniversaries that are approaching have me quite at odds with my mental self. Yesterday, I was really down, and I told myself, before going to bed, that I was going to have a great day today, that something positive would occur and that whatever that positive thing may be, I was going to concentrate only on it.

Earlier today I received a phone call from a place I had previously interviewed with (RTG). They have three branches and I interviewed for a receptionist with the Pearl branch and didn’t get it because I was overqualified. They apparently passed my name on to their Lake Oswego branch and the LO branch wants to interview me tomorrow for a higher-up position. I spent abotu 10 minutes just THRILLED with this fact and then when I was bummed out early this afternoon, I thought about it again. It made me happy!

Then, another place (medical clinic) called me for another interivew later on tomorrow! I’m going to go to that, too, just to see how it goes. The fact that I have two interviews scheduled made me stressed, so I thought about the positive aspect of it, and then not ten minutes later I got an email from the ballroom dance telling me that they were hiring me. I have a job!!!! I am still going to my two interviews tomorrow, but I have a job! *doin’ the job dance*

I am going to be working Monday-Thursday from 7am-3pm and Friday’s from 7am-4pm (whoo hoo for a whole hour of OT!) as a studio coordinator. I am going to be doing dance lesson scheduling (ballroom, not ballet!), advertising stuff (read: creative projects!), taking funds, and helping keep the dance studio running. I am REALLY excited about the job and the fact that it’s a new position is great for me, since I already have ideas!

So yeah, if you had something positive happen today (did someone smile at you?) concentrate on it for a while. See what comes of it!

    Hey that’s great. Do you get a discount on ballroom dance lessons? Learning to tango would be excellent.
