Just had a bump in some plans... lol.
While I didn't get the FT position that I was vying for, I did get a raise finally that I really should have received back in October. I am just thankful that I did get that much good news today.
Just took of the 9th quote for the month of January to reveal the 10th's quote as it is already past midnight while sitting here at work. It states:
"Reality is something your rise above."

This is so on cue today. Reality is that I someone scored higher in the hiring process this time around, but that isn't going to steal away my joy. I remind myself that the real joy is in the work that I do. All the same though, it would be better if I were to get paid for what I do at a better rate of pay, which is what I would have received had I been able to get the fulltime job. However, (1) I did finally get my raise (so today I am getting paid better than I did yesterday and the days before) and (2) I have an opportunity to apply for an upcoming parttime position. Being "just a relief" has its disadvantages as the person hired was hired from a pool of applicants that were already either fulltime or partime applicants; being "just a relief" has a rung lower than a true employee of the organization, but better than an outside applicant. Oh, well...
On to revamping and waiting my turn. My turn will come soon says the director to me after I had already heard the news from the supervisor and attending an inservice training meeting that builds our knowledge about new laws and law resources to better help our victims. I truly hope that my turn does come soon.
At any rate, I have risen above and no joy stolen today!!
