This month is all about changes for me. It's all about getting out of comfort zone, and just putting myself in situations I never dreamed. One of those is I left my comfort bubble and got a new job. For a while my job has been making really depressed, very low, and just very negative. Every time I had to work I would just dread coming in. No matter if it was a three hour shift or a 2:30 to closing shift I didn't want to go. I felt very under appreciated, walked all over by everyone, very annoyed, and just someone they needed when no one else would come. A job is something you shouldn't dread coming to and something that makes you feel negative all the time. I started job searching all the time. I sent in over ten applications to work around my town and didn't hear back from a single one. Work was getting worse, my mood was at an all time low, and I was just trying to get by.
For those who don't know my job was at clothing store in my local mall. I was barely getting hours every week, and when I would work it was always a closing shift. I was hardly ever given a daylight shift even though it's summer and I didn't have any plans. I felt like my manager was always playing favorites with her employees, nothing I was doing was every good enough, and I was just ready to quit without another job lined up. Right when I thought nothing could go right I get a call from a job I applied to out of the blue. The manager told me she loved my application and asked if I could come in for an interview. Right away I said yes and we had it three days later. It was not one of those quick interviews that last five minutes and you leave feeling upset. No this interview lasted over thirty minutes and I left feeling pretty positive. Before I left she told me if I got an email asking for references I was considered for the job. Not twenty-four hours later I got the email and sent in my references. I didn't know that the following Tuesday would change my life.
On Tuesday I made plans to go hang out with my best friend. We decided to go get breakfast at Chick-f-ila and explore downtown a bit. We visited the Peter Pan themed park I had been dying to visit and took her dog Bella for a stroll down the streets. After our little adventure she was driving me back home and I got a call from an unknown number. I was very skeptical to answer it because if I don't know the number I normally don't answer the call. Something in me told me to answer it and it was the manager at the job I applied too. Needless to say I started screaming once I hung up and you couldn't wipe the grin off my face. I was so relieved to know I was leaving a place that caused me so much stress and unhappiness.
I have now been employed at this job for over two weeks going on three and couldn't be more happier. I love everything about this job: my coworkers are so nice, my managers are the sweetest, and I love the jobs I'm required to do. I couldn't ask for a better job and I can't wait to see what's in store for me later on. The only advice I have to give is trust God. Know that if something doesn't happen it's not meant to be. Things can appear out of nowhere and trust that God put it there for a reason. That reason is for you to take it. If he wanted me to work at the other jobs; he would have sent me the door that led to it.
