Good News and Bad News

Okay, here’s the good news. I’m no longer unemployed!

I interviewed with Ms. Hirer on Tuesday morning and was so impressive—I took three books and a colorful, four-page Visio chart—that she hired me on the spot! I went to work the next morning.

Okay, here’s the bad news! It’s only a temporary position; three months.

But there is some really good news. I write all day long. I write all day long. I write all day long. Okay, it’s Technical Writing, but technically, it’s writing, right? I’m a very good tech writer.

Still more good news! Ms. Hirer has already alluded to “an extension.”

And even more good news? Great pay! They're gonna let me write and give me money, too! Should I get a new pair of socks or that new pack of briefs? That’s really good news because I’ve been unemployed for the past six weeks. It will come in handy—especially when payday rolls around again.

Pssst, Paul. It’s me, Jesus. Remember, I told you I’d never leave you or forsake you?

And by the way, during this six weeks of unemployment, My First Wife and I received a little more money than we did during the last six weeks of work.

The Lord taketh away; the Lord giveth back.

And He leteth you liveth your dream a little, too.
