Job Interview Tomorrow
Twenty months of sobriety has allowed me enough time to feel a part of the human race again. I've already begun to think about my future and what my goals are. I have a few of them. One of them is to finish my education and go for the PhD. I was once a promising young undergrad with a ticket straight to grad school if I wanted it. I was favored by my professors and was nominated for a prestigious award the year I graduated. There wasn't even question or doubt among my family, friends and peers about whether I'd go on to get the PhD. It was taken for granted really.
I managed to throw it away, and I drank. I won't blame it all on alcohol though, because there was some major indecision on my part. I was young, invincible and was going to rule the world no matter what. Lol.
Anyway... here I am, on the eve before a job interview for a position at a mental health agency, and this experience and position would look mighty fine on a graduate school application. And I am nervous. Very much so. I'll have some 'splaining to do tomorrow if they ask enough questions. Lol. And not sure my charm alone will win them over. This isn't a high paid, high power position though, and so I'm hoping I stand a chance.
Wish me luck, SR. I need some good vibes. I'm gonna be brave and give it my best shot tomorrow, win or lose.

Luck!! Do remember, though, things have a way of working out the way they are supposed to.
Just before I retired a couple of years ago, I applied for what I considered to be a "dream job"--travel, using my knowledge I had gained in a long career, doing important work. I didn't get the job. The VERY WEEK I retired, I got a job announcement for a very similar position, but an even better "fit" for my experience. I got the job--which pays TWICE the salary of the one I had applied for first.

Sorry for the triple post!
