Well I had wanted to post every single day of this month and managed to botch it a day in. Great. Yesterday was a less than ideal day. I found out that I was not chosen for a position I had really wanted at work. I love my job and I don’t talk about it here for very obvios reasons, one of them being how much I do love my job. As with any setback in life, not getting this position was a bit of a disappointment.

To celebrate/commiserate the event I had dinner and drinks with a friend and went to bed early last night. I woke up feeling refreshed and like I had gained more perspective having slept on it. In the past week I’ve had favorable fortunes from my fortune cookies. I am taking that as a sign that everything will work out. After all, when a small, crunchy pastry tells me, “A pleasant surprise is in store for you.” I take that as a pretty sure sign the universe will deliver. Pastries never lie.
