Eye On The Prize

“Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.”

Dalai Lama

I went for a job 2 weeks ago with two others. My Manager later told me I shouldnt of as it was chosen before the interview began. I wanted that job, it was supposed to be a promotion, more money, less grueling hours.

Its turned out a shock for the two that were given the job this week. Sixteen more hours a month, no weekends, no nights (thats big dollars) some shifts ending at midnight and starting again at 8 in the morning and it works out I will earn more a week than them, potter along and answer to no-one. Both are a bit shell shocked by all this. They are also 'company men' and will say nothing where as I would of raise hell.

I was angry about the way I was duped regarding the interview, Im so glad now I didnt get the job & feel sorry for my two friends that did. Life works out funny sometimes.
