We Need to Talk ...

Every time I hear the words, "We need to talk", or "Come talk to me in my office" I cringe. Nothing good can come from that. If the news is good then it will be done in public or in my office. This has happened to me often and I always expect it when it is time for me to move to another job. I have previously written about how I am an "angel" used by God and put into situations he needs me. If I don't want to move to a situation he wants me to then he will force it to happen.

I got an email yesterday from the Headhunter that is wooing me to the job in Pennsylvania. The email said, "I spoke with Jess and Samantha from LCI today.  Do you have time tomorrow for a quick conversation with me?  Just want to share some of their feedback.".  When I got that email I thought their feedback would be they weren't interested in talking to me. I had myself convinced that this was a dead end. I started looking at the job in Thailand more and more. When the man called me at 11:30 this morning he started the conversation with the company liked my resume and wanted a Skype interview as soon as possible. I told them I need 3 or 4 weeks to give my company notice of me leaving and to drive across the country. I contacted my friend in Thailand and told him that I was contemplating the job in Pennsylvania and he agreed that I should take the job offered to me. I don't even know if there will ever be a job in Thailand. I would rather go overseas, but I would rather go somewhere rather than stay in my present situation.

One interesting thing about this is it isn't a roller coaster ride as I expected. This is all going at a steady rate in a specific direction. Another thing that is going along with this direct path is a person I met a few weeks ago has asked for my help in establishing a website. He is making a website for teaching ESL in a classroom environment on line. A teacher and 5 or 6 students, the teacher presents a lesson then the students practice what was taught and then the teacher summarizes the mistakes that were observed. This is how an ESL class is run and if it can be done on line then many more people can benefit. This new friend has asked me to write some lesson plans the on line teachers can use and I will do that over the next couple of weeks. If this works out then I can make some extra money working on his website and helping him improve it. I look forward to my future! It should be fun and exciting :).
