Most recently, I was lucky enough to get one day of assignment again. I say “lucky,” because although I am told that the economy’s getting better and more people are hiring, I haven’t been able to benefit from that.
So, I was a runner for that day. You might wonder why take that job, especially you have roughly a quarter million dollar worth of education... Well, you’ve got to do, what you have got to do! This business is tough and I take what I get.
During this assignment, I was sent to multiple locations to run the company’s errands, like deliveries.
For one of my errands, I had to make a delivery to this place where I used to work at. That didn’t feel good. And we hadn’t part our ways in harmony, I must say. I left there tear-eyed and bitter and everyone else was sad that I was going, but still cheerful that they were staying. After that job, it took me many months to get over and see the blessing in disguise.
So I got back to that same workspace and all the icky memories came back. Even the door attendant was still the same. Of course, he didn’t remember me, but I did. And of course, I pretended I didn’t either. But instead of the bitter feelings this time, I appreciated the chance to have left that place for a better future. That was indeed a blessing in disguise because if that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have gotten into a field I have a passion for and gotten a master’s education!
Now, you might ask, “what good has that done to you?” Well, as one of my good friends says, patience is a virtue. Who knows, I might get a call tomorrow for that permanent dream job! But until then, I am going to practice patience.
