A Job to Do.
Posted 09-23-2009 at 08:17 AM by Blake'sTyger
I'm a sober non-smoker.
I love saying that.
I have a job interview this morning, and thank God-- I'm working hard at two jobs at the moment, and it's not covering my living expenses. This is due to things like having a lease I can't get out of and a car payment reflecting the mileage-overage from my previous lease.
I've quit smoking. Expense lowered. I've quit drinking. Expense lowered. I carry a water bottle/canteen instead of buying bottled water. Expense lowered.
But this morning I have an interview. This job would pay me $1 less per hour than my current job, but pays commissions. I was number one in my department in volume and number two in percentage in August, and am likely to repeat my performance in September; and while I'm glad to know I'm doing a good job...it does not help me pay bills or get out of debt. Having a job where performance is rewarded with more than a pat on the head would be a godsend. And this job is half the distance from my house as my current job! It's not a long commute anyway, but ten minutes instead of twenty on the road sure ain't a bad deal!
So I'm posting this to start the day. Need to suit-up (and clean that suit, for starters), shower, shave, and look my most handsomest and businesslike.
Oh God, Higher Power, if this is your will, please let it be. And if not, then so be it. I'm submitting my will to you as I'm taught to do in the third step...but it's not exactly a secret that I'm REALLY hoping your will includes a better paying job...
