Today SSB and I came back from lunch and I picked up the paper (something that I have been avoiding for awhile now because I just don't feel that any of the jobs will be right for me, so what is the point?). I quickly scan the ads. There are a few ads that I might be eligible for, but it is a pharmacy assistant ad that sparks that feeling. I called to see if the job was still open; it was.
I hung up the phone and told SSB that I was going to go get that job. I quick whipped up a resume, ran down to the library to print it off (our printer kind of sucks). Went to the pharmacy and gave them my resume.
The pharmacists spent about 5 minutes looking it over. They told me that they were very impressed and happy with my resume. I was perfect for the job - when could I start?
YAY!! I start tomorrow. I will be able to keep the library job too. I will be making the same as I did at the appraisal office, and this job seems perfect for me! They generally want someone who can organize their systems and make things more efficient for them.
EFFICIENCY IS MY MIDDLE NAME!!
They were all really nice, down to earth people. I can't wait to start!

Sylvana’s Syllogisms her Scottish resource
Awaken her mind and she ‘s part of a “force”
She looks in the paper for signs of a job
Secures a first interview first stop is the shop
Tears down the drive, she forget to lock up
But soon out again to be part of the game
Attend a fast interview, sign on the job
Fly through the air, she’s part of the force
Nobody stares at her flighty affairs
Sylvania’s Syllogisms for who can compare- Sylvana said...
ESC, ooo, you're onto me! That's how I was going to make up for the lack of insurance.
Lindsay, what a lovely poem! I love how you encorporated the things that you have learned about me. :D- Wendy A said...
I have the "force" too. It certainly is important to listen to it. It has saved my bacon on several occasions. Now if it would just let me know where the next winning lotto ticket might be.

Oh cool! Congrats!!!
(I moved to Maine on a gut feeling...this from someone who grew up in NYC. Gut is God, I always say. Just don't confuse w/indigestion).- sands of time said...
Congrats.sounds like a great job.

Crap - evilsciencechick totally stole my percocet comment.
Trust in the force. Just beware of the dark side - look what it did to Anakin!- Sylvana said...
Wendy A, if I ever get that feeling about six numbers I'm buying a ticket for sure!
AG, SSB and I visited Maine once.
Maine is a very scary state!
Pink Lady, thanks. I actually had a very good first day. I think that this job will be just right for me!
Shamus, it can be a very scary thing for some people, but I think that they get used to it once they have spent enought time with me to get that "the force" is a very handy thing!- nope said...
Syl, that is just terrific news! Good things are happening all around me, which is my sign of the 'force' - usually a 100% indicator that good things are going to happen to me too. Isn't that weird? It seems like happiness is catching - but it's always other people's first, (which is as it should be) and then mine.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!- DrMax said...
Congrats Syl! Good luck on the new job! Also, can you buy some lottery tickets for me?
- Sylvana said...
Indiaiynke, hopefully I will be able to keep this job longer than a month!
DrMax, thanks. Depends on how big the pot is.- "AG" said...
Maine is scary?? It's a very large state. What part did you vist??
- Shannon said...
Sorry, I haven't been able to read/comment in a while, but CONGRATULATIONS! YAY!!!!
- Sylvana said...
AG, SSB and I visited Maine about 14 years ago. We went from New Hampshire across to Bangor then took 1 down the hell out of that state as fast as we could go! This is a very long story. Maybe I'll do a post.
Shannon, thanks. Everything is going well so far. I really like it there.- "AG" said...
Oh, of course, Bangor IS scary! But not all of Maine is like that! I love Maine.

I'm way behind reading blogs, but I wanted to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS!! I have my own version of The Force. I call it my gut talking to me. I've learned the hard way that it is always right.
- Sylvana said...
AG, in Maine's defense, it was right after Halloween and they still had all the decorations up -- at least I HOPE they were decorations!!
Old Roses, yeah, you really can't try to out-think the force. You just have to do what it tells you to do.- "AG" said...
No, that was the laundry the locals hung out to dry. :)

Way to go, Sylvana. Acting on instincts can lead to happy new places: Serendipity. It's good that you act on good instincts. What a terrible thing if your power was turned to the dark side and you acted on evil instincts. ::shudder:: OK, I've watched too much Star Wars...
- Sylvana said...
AG, Maine locals have some gruesome looking laundry!
Doug, my friends and I always talk about how lucky the world is that I use my powers for good instead of evil!
