The universe was listening

So I was feeling pretty resigned to working at a job I don't really enjoy, with a manager who makes everything more difficult because of her own issues. And I figured I'd focus on what I could change. Here's where the funny and ironic part of the universe comes in - it has always seemed to me that as soon as you resign yourself to the situation you're in, the universe turns around and throws something new at you.

Like with relationships. As soon as you're resigned to and completely ok (and even happy) with spending some time single, the universe sends you someone to be with. At least, that's what it did to me - I wanted to be single, play the field, have some fun. Instead, I met my now-fiance. Go figure.

It seems that it works the same with jobs. I resigned myself to my current job, despite it's drawbacks. I tried and failed to find a new and better job right away, so I was going to put my energy and time into something else. Lo and behold, within a week the universe said 'here you go' and handed me an awesome new job (at least, it had better be awesome), with a manager I know I get along with, for more money and a better number of hours for the assistant pole teaching I'm starting to do.

So, even though I was feeling like I was failing my universe mastermind goals, the universe apparently picked up where I left off and nudged me in the direction I needed to go to find what I wanted.

Also, just as a note, I'm quite proud of myself - I really buckled down this week, and I finished my thesis project tonight. I am now a maca expert. And I have so many random facts about it swirling in my head, I had a hard time figuring out which information I got from where. Luckily, I did my references as I went along for the most part. Anyway. I'm going to print it off tomorrow at the library and go down to Wild Rose to hand it in *grin*
Time to move on to the next few of the bazillion things I feel like I need to get done. The trick is to FOCUS. *smile*
