Turning Down a Job

So my temp agency emailed and offered me a chance to try a job in Yardley.

They wanted me to take a two-hour editing test.

Yeah, that sounds like fun...NOT.

My first though was "ugh." Yardley. Ugh, editing. Ugh, taking tests.

So I told them Yardley was too far. It's really close to my old job.

It sounded perfect for my a colleague who just got laid off so I put the recruiter and her in touch.

They came back and said I could work remotely, was I still interested?

I told them my colleague was a better fit.

Now, I haven't told anyone about this.

Everyone would think I was crazy.

"You're crazy! You're turning down work!"

Honestly, it felt like a test from the Universe.

Did I really mean what I say? I am determined not to take a job out of desperation or for any other reason but that I really really want to do it.

I'm going to tell the agency, talk to me after Labor Day!

I'm not working this month.

Also, I'm not working any job that makes me think "ugh."

I know the Universe can bring me a great job, a job I'll love, a job with people I'll love.

I'm good. I'll know what to do when it arrives.

I'm trusting the Universe and I'm happy.
