What're The Chances?

Every once in a while I have days when I ask myself, "What were the chances?" and on even rarer occasions I get to smile at perfectly silly coincidences.

Today involved both!

Sunday evening I jotted a to-do list in my journal for the next day, Monday. By the time dinner came around I had completed everything on my list except sending out two resumes to potential job opportunities.

I was snuggled into bed ready to blow off the job search for yet another day when the hubster bustled in and prodded me back to the computer.

Not quite 15-minutes later I was back in bed having emailed out two quick inquiries and completing my last Monday to-do list goal. Sweet, right?

What were the chances I'd get a call back at 8:30 AM Tuesday morning from a resume I emailed out at 10:30 PM Monday night?

Srsly. EIGHT-THIRTY IN THE MORNING.

Somehow I managed to yawn the sleepiness out of my voice and conduct myself decently through an impromptu phone interview in bed.

The kicker? They wanted me to come in for an interview same day.

I had an appointment to donate blood that day, otherwise I would've gone in. As things panned out I ended up going in at 8:00 AM this morning for an in-person interview.

The kicker's kicker? I was offered the position, completed new-hire paperwork, and home before 11:00 AM.


What're the chances?

The hubby and I went out to Chinese for lunch to celebrate. We'd never gone to this restaurant in person, only ordered in delivery.

Wow, typing that out makes our Chinese food consumption habits sound kinda riskae! Then again, how many of us really know where our food comes from, eh?

Anywho. Lunch was yummy and this afternoon when I came up the stair to the apartment I spotted a familiar pink menu tucked behind our placard.

From said Chinese restaurant.

What're the chances?

Weeks ago I set a goal that I'd like to be working by the second week of June. Here I am after submitting two resumes with training for a new position starting tomorrow!

I wanted things to change, just happened a whole lot faster than I expected!

Kinda like that word search I did last night....
