when it rains

Yesterday, Houston tried to make up for the drought in a single day, but the drought didn't happen overnight. We were left with flooded streets, and a tornado or two that touched down outside Katy. I made it to work and back, but it was a slow day.

Moving from the literal to the figurative, I have this great job opportunity that is being overshadowed by the fact that my current employer is all kinds of upset with me for even considering taking on this venture ... even though, it won't interfere at all with my current position.

On one hand, you'd think it a bit flattering in that they think that I would leave them so soon. So, they value me as an employee. On the other hand, this is an opportunity for growth - which happens to be in the same field I'm already working in. Marketing, for clarification. I can only get better with each experience and, in that, bring more to the table, right? I mean .. I hope ...

But ... I've been sitting here ... throwing my hands up in the air (figuratively), thinking about how I was unemployed for a full year after graduating with my masters. Actually, a full year and 5 days to be exact.

Dear Opportunity,


I think you need a calendar. This overbooking has got to stop.


Thanks.

PS It's okay though. Thank you for coming along!
