It has been good because I have had the opportunity to begin some meditation CDs that a coworker has provided me some copies of. Thank goodness for them because they have allowed me to get some much needed rest, which probably allowed me to be not quite so emotional when I got the bad news this week.
I have been applying for fulltime positions at work for the past year and have always ended up being chosen for the second best choice. Augghghgghhh! That can be so frustrating and discouraging.
This last time, I had applied for an overnight position for Sun - Thursday, 10:45-7:15a. I even had all of the overnight and second shift coworkers advocating for me.
Come to find out today that another relief person has got the position. What is discouraging is that she hasn't been as dependable as myself, nor attending the relief meetings on a regular basis - and I have. In fact, some of my coworkers feel that I am much too good a relief person and that is why I keep being passed up.
Trouble is, I might not have any choice soon. I may have to put in applications elsewhere and, if I get a fulltime job with benefits elsewhere, they are going to be in the same boat without the regular and dependable relief that I am. What will they do then? We all don't think it is quite fair that I must be penalized for doing a good job.
Aughghghghghh!!!
Another shift has opened up and I have submitted my transfer request for that position. We'll see.
I need all the prayers I can get. The job will mean, not only a regular schedule, but also benefits and a dramatically increased rate of pay.
If you have never prayed before, please pray feverishly that something good comes out of all of this soon for me. If you have prayed before, pray as feverishly as you do for your other prayers, and add me to your list of prayers.
Thanks, in advance!!
Hoping everyone else has had a better week and, certainly, less emotional of a week than I have had. May the road be rising up to greet you and you have the blessings of a lifetime in the future ahead of you.
