I woke up this morning with a positive attitude based on nothing at all. The ever-dreaded auditor showed up at my workplace yesterday, ruining my entire afternoon. Ask Gazz how quickly that happened. I went from content with my life to depressed and fearful in approximately .001 seconds while chatting with him. Those auditors must receive significant amounts of training to learn how to make people’s lives miserable. It still impresses me after five years of dealing with them. Even knowing that, however, I rolled out of bed ready to face the day. It may have had something to do with the sunshine peeking out from behind the clouds, so rare these last few days, but I choose to believe that I knew something tremendous was going to happen.

This afternoon, my phone rang with the most thrilling news I had heard in a long time. Exactly two weeks to the day from my interview, I was offered a new job! Apparently, my interviewers unanimously thought I should work with them and I felt the love all the way down the street. I have been crazy happy ever since and celebrating like it’s 1999 all over again. I fully intend to keep the party rolling for the rest of the extended weekend, with a new brewery opening up tomorrow and a Blues hockey game on Saturday in addition to a house party. This weekend promises to be one of the best. I love my life!
