 It Rang

Proving Beth’s theory that when you “put stuff out there in the Universe” it causes it to happen, not long after posting my last entry saying I hoped the new job wouldn’t call — they called.

It was the president of the company, no less, calling to see where I stood with the resignation of the guy who brought me in. I was honest with him. I told him that while I had worked with the guy before and had known him for a long time, I was also a little bit concerned about reporting to him because I had had problems working with him in the past. I said that I viewed his resignation as either a big opportunity for me if they still wanted me or as really bad news if they didn’t. I said that I was excited about joining the company and that my resigning manager’s problems and issues were definitely not mine. I said that my attitude coming in was to do things their way and do the best job I possibly can. I said I hoped they still wanted me.

Fortunately, they still do.

    I always say the plane takes off once it reaches the very end of the runway. And in your case it hit a few high branches on its way up. Heheh.
