My Insights

“Hello?” I said. The voice on the other side was distant but clear. “Can I talk to …” and then after a considerable pause, “pa … pava … is it?” I decide not to indulge in trivial matters over the phone and I don’t know who I’m talking to. “Yes, it’s him …” I said in a questioning voice. In my heart although, I had a very strong feeling that the call was from Sears. I could just feel it in my gut. The female on the other side continues, “I’m from Sears and I want you to come in and do some training.” At that point, I didn’t care who was speaking or what her name was. What mattered was that through some miracle of God, my drug test and my background check, both prescribed a clean bill of health. “Are you free tomorrow? Can you come in at 10:30?” I tried to give her an answer while hiding my excitement sitting there in a booth in Taco Bell, all alone waiting for my brother to get me some food. “Yeah, sure … that works great … 10:30 tomorrow it is!” I am surprised I didn’t offer to get her flowers. Phew, finally I have a real job now. After about a month and a half of being jobless, it feels strange when I think about being tied down to a schedule and not being able to watch Judge Judy anymore. I don’t want to be late so I’ll cut this short. Thank you all of my friends who took money from me when I was jobless. I really appreciate the encouraging. Thank you.
