Shitty, Shitty Timing

I swear, the timing in my life is fucking ridiculous! You know how I've been waiting to hear about that police job basically forever at this point? Well, about a week ago, I decided that I just couldn't wait anymore, so I started looking for other jobs. At first I was really disappointed, because I was convinced that I REALLY wanted this job. When I decided that I couldn't wait around for them anymore I started telling myself that it probably wasn't right for me anyway. I started thinking about all of the reasons it was a bad idea, things like; "It will probably be really boring." "I hate uniforms!" "I might not even be able to do it because of the food issue at the academy." "I'll probably have to write tickets/ arrest people for things I don't think should be illegal." etc. I think these are actually all valid. Anyway, I finally had myself convinced that I was better off without this job. Plus I found three or four jobs in the paper that I was going to apply for. Then guess what? Today I get a call from the police department! I didn't answer it and I really don't know what to say when I call them back. I tried to get all excited about it, but now all I can think about is all of those reasons I told myself I didn't want it. This is how things always seem to happen for me. I only get things I want after I have given up on ever getting them and convinced myself that I didn't really want them in the first place.

  1. You should just call them and see what's up. If they offer it you, it's a good time to ask your questions. And there's no reason you can't apply for those other jobs : )

    1. Thank you :) That's probably what I'll do. It just pisses me off that I would have been excited about it last week, but now I'm just annoyed. I'm clearly a crazy person.

  2. Have you ever read, or listened to the audio book of "The Secret"? It's about the law of attraction. By Rhonda Byrne. I found it to be very encouraging and helpful. I listened to the audio version as I drove to Savannah.
