Boy, do I have some Tales to Tell...

A few days ago, I blogged about being rejected for something. I had alluded to the difficulty I had with the situation and how even though I believe that things happen for a reason, it still is difficult. Well, things do happen for a reason. Today, I got a call from a company that I had been pursuing for a position. I got a call from two different departments who were very interested in me. I ended up interviewing for one with the intention of going to the other later but it turned out so well, I was extended an offer pending background check. I haven't officially said yes because I also got an email from another company that saw my resume and is very interested in meeting to discuss how they can use me in their kitchen. I'll most likely say yes to the first place because they have an amazing benefits package (and say what you will, that really does make a difference).

It's nice to be wanted. It's even nicer to be wanted by a place that you respect. I don't harbor ill feelings for the company that originally rejected me. I am a disappointed with how they handled the situation but they do have to make their choices. I don't necessarily believe they made the right choice but so be it.

I did end up focusing my energy on my exercise, so it has had some good benefits. The exercise and this blog has been a good way to just unload my "funk". Speaking of which, today is the two-year anniversary of this blog. It's been very cathartic. I had started it as a way to document some stories I had about working in a gym. I also used it as a way to air my grievances about the gym. I still do talk about the gym but I think I use it more to just "talk". I have even changed the name a couple of times to allow me some freedom in writing. Overall, it's been wonderful. I would encourage anyone to start one, not just for themselves, but especially for themselves. Thanks to all who read. Later.

I'm just writing down some of the things that run through my head.
