Lacking Patience Today... Or Everyday

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? -Evan Almighty

Every time I think the job market is looking a little better reality sets in and I get sadly disappointed. Oh sure there are jobs to apply for, but there are a million other people applying for the same jobs, so who would want to hire a silly little college graduate with no experience?

I guess you could say I'm in the right direction now that I know what I want to do, or am I? I really can't see myself doing anything else, at least not for a long period of time and actually enjoying it. I applied for three more jobs today. One of them I don't want because it is only part time and not what I want to do, but it would add some extra income now that my pay check is being pulled in several directions, at least for a little while. The other two would be great jobs, one of them being an Assistant Buyer position in the fashion industry. It is exactly what I want and newly listed, so I would love to hear back from them. I'm still crossing my fingers for the two I applied for last week too. So four jobs in my ideal industry within the past two weeks? Maybe things are looking up. Now lets pray I will GET one of them soon. That would be fantastic, but my patience is wearing very thin with this whole job thing!

On a much brighter note, I get to see my boy tomorrow! Super excited about that. I counted how many weeks it has been and I was so disappointed to realize it had only been three, it felt more like three months! We have been hoping this year would go fast, but so far it has done nothing but drag it's feet. Nothing is going like I planned, nothing at all. Maybe that's the excitement in life, but I'm not too fond of it in these situations.

I used to think when I got older , the world would make so much more sense. But you know what? The older I get, The more confusing it is to me. The more complicated it is to me. You'd think we'd get better at it. -Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
