Playing the Waiting Game

I don’t really have anything profound to write about. I’m still feeling flu-ish, so my brain is still not functioning as well as it should.
As I mentioned a few days ago, I was called for a 2nd interview at a vet hospital on Wed. I got to do a lot of hands on work w/ the animals and also helped w/ menial tasks like mopping, laundry, and stocking supplies. The vet even had me call one of the labs & fill out paperwork for some blood work to be picked up. I feel like it went really well. The doctor told me he was impressed w/ the way I handled the animals and w/ how I was willing to get in there and work. His exact phrasing was that he was “tickled” w/ how well I did. I had a blast and I could perfectly see myself working there. I am supposed to know either today or tomorrow if I got the job. The hardest part is the waiting. I want this so bad. It truly is my dream job.
Very gratefully, I also found out that it will pay enough for me to quit my present job. I think I would like to stay a little longer though to double up my income for a while. There have been some not so nice things said/done to me & Sid in the last few days by the owner of the company that has me a bit angry, however. So I am also waiting to see if things improve here or not. Also, I don’t even know if they would let me work only 2 days a week.
There is a lot to wait for and I hate feeling like things are open-ended, especially in this case w/ one thing hinging on another, hinging on another; so my future is up in the air.
Oh, and back to that “pursuit of happiness” theme I’ve written about a few times. I really feel like w/ pursing this job that I am indeed also pursing my happiness, so if offered it, I will take it, even if I lose my current job.
So I stand by my favorite bible verse in Jeremiah 29, and I do believe that my future is in God’s hands. Now I just need to pray for patience and quit staring at the phone, hoping it will be the news I’ve spent at least 10 years waiting for.
