Carmella's Hang Out

In about an hour, I will go to work. In about six, I will come back home no longer and employee of Island Carousel. This is what makes me happy. It is really great to be doing what I know the Lord has told me to do, and making another step toward keeping my back feeling good. I know beyond the shadow of doubt that I was not to stay working the carousel. I will, in fact, even welcome the break, however long or short, from a job. For now, I am going to put my name in with Kade’s on an add that will go out to all the homes in our neighborhood, for spring cleaning. I already have the money needed for a few months of no work, so that is not a problem at all, but having a little more, and not being lazy {as some might say} will be a good thing for me. Plus, I really like working with Kade, and we always seem to have fun cleaning house together.

I am, however, a little bummed out by the phone call I got earlier today. And yet…..I am only bummed, not crushed, because I do not feel at all that this is the end. Around 1:30 today, I got a call from the woman who is in charge of hiring people to work in Beaumont PT positions. They are, at the moment, not doing any hiring for the position I am able and willing {wanting!!} to fill. The position of PTTA is not one that is advertised, though, when they are looking to hire, so I will need to have a resume in with the department, so that she can call on me when they are looking for help. This is why I know it is not a “No” just a, not now. She went through many of the particulars with me on the phone, such as needing to be open to work at 5 of the 6 locations, being willing to not be locked into hours or any one office, being open hour wise, and being ready to do over 100 hours of training. All of which was ok with me!!

Like I said, I am not crushed. I know that this is in the Lord’s hands, and that I am doing what I am suppose to, and all that I can do! The reason I am a little bummed, is that I must admit, deep down I let myself think that I would be starting right away. If you had asked me, I would have said that I knew there was more a chance it would take some time, rather than be immediate. And that is true also. I did know that. But at the same time, I still held to hope that it would work out that I would just walk out of one job, take a break, and walk into the other one.

I’m ok though. That is the cool part. I do still have a peace about it. I have not even felt the need to shed a tear over this….and that is what I think is the biggest proof that I am ok with this! lol.

And now…time for me to get get ready for my last day of work!!

Anyone want to help me celebrate on Saturday?!!!
