So I get this call from a friend write in the middle of my hectic day. X keeping cool says in a strange voice: “I’ve got good news and bad news”. Pause.
I’ll start with the bad news. Pause.
I’m thinking ‘okay…?’
“The bad news is - …” It was regarding X’s job. X had walked into the office this morning just like on any other day. But out of the blue something had happened. There was going to be some drastic change (not for the better) as the company X worked in had lost out on a deal or something and the point was X’s job was on a hold. The next step was looking really blurred.
Flashback - … About two weeks ago, X had had a call from another company again totally out of the blue for no apparent reason. They were very interested in X joining them. So X gives it a shot and went for the interview etc. and was generally pleased. Well, after that X did not hear from them for the next two weeks and almost forgot about it.
“Now for the good news”, pronounced my friend in a happier tone - …. X just felt strongly inside the need to give the other company a call and did so, with some reluctance. They were delighted. They had been trying to contact X all week but since X was out of station they could not get in touch.
The climax- … X walked out of a door after a meeting with members of the present company wondering “what next?” only to be met by another door, wide open and miraculous.
“Awesome”, I said. X agreed.
Dear Mister God, this is @ina talking . . . I’m awed by the way you plan things down to the smallest details. You have an absolutely perfect timing to all that you do and a good sense of humor too! :-)
