A testament to how things change

A wise lady told me: "You never know what will happen. You will wake up one morning and things will change with one phone call."

And she was right.

I was watching the inauguration this morning and just checking my e-mail when I got a phone call from one of the places that I applied to and had gotten rejected from. In fact the place I got rejected from three posts ago.

A temp position opened up and the woman from HR said I came to mind immediately and thought I would be good for the position. If I was interested she'd contact the direct hirer and have her call me. So I said "Yes! Please."

10 minutes later, I get a call from the direct hire and asked me to forward my resume, So I did.

At 1:11, about 30 minutes after I sent my resume, I was given the position. No interview.

Granted it's temporary on a week to week basis but I was able to work it out that I can keep my part-time job so that I have something to go back to when they're done with me. But it is possible that something may come of this. Another full-time position may come available or I can switch within the company. So I am happy :)
