Yum Chinese food. I was lucky enough to be over a friends place a few Saturday nights ago, when the decision was made to order in some Chinese food. Now I'm not gonna lie and say that my favourite part of Chinese food isn't the red sauce, cause it is, but I'm also particularly fond of the cookie, especially the fortune inside.
Lately though I've found the fortunes to be rather, well, disappointing. There not so much fortunes as random words of wisdom that are sometimes wholly incomprehensible. Although on this particular evening I opened my fortune to read "A new work opportunity will avail itself."
Honestly could I have gotten a better fortune? I mean for a girl who has literally been looking for work for 2 1/2 years? I promptly stuck my little fortune on my laptop to remind myself and to boost my self confidence. -- I tried to take a pic for proof but my camera wouldn't focus on the tiny little words, so you'll just have to trust that its actually there --
Now for the best part.
One week exactly after my fortune was foretold, I had a phone call from my good friends Shaunacy. Her Father, who works for the County of Peterborough, heard of a company that's hiring in the area for positions that I'm qualified for. -- this is no lie -- Obviously I'm jumping for joy here. I redo my cover letter and CV, call up the president of this company (its a small company) and let him know I'm interested and will be forwarding on my application. He sounded very enthusiastic and impressed by my call.
So cross your fingers and toes. Hopefully I'll be interviewing there shortly, and then moving to Peterborough.
