More Miracles

So, I am, as usual, quite broke.

I've learned, however, that the Universe has answers and will point me the way to them.

I was sitting there looking at my house taxes and thinking about how I was going to pay them.

I don't really know what prompted me to look at this one credit card account. It gets paid automatically and just really don't use it. (Wait, I know what prompted me, the Universe!)

I look and interestingly I have just enough credit to pay my taxes. I mean, right on the nose.

Honestly, I still haven't stopped thanking the Universe for that one!

In the meantime, I had a phone interview for a medical ad agency right here in town for a freelance assignment that could turn into a full-time job.

I guess they liked me because I have an interview tomorrow. If there wasn't a polar vortex I would be happier but whatever....

Also, another agency contacted me to discuss future work.

So taxes paid, jobs popping up, Universe as usual responding to my every need.

Now, if we could just do something about that polar vortex....

Nothing matters more than how I feel....

So, I'm a bit broke. Things are tight.

I've been sick. Like "I've got the flu and I'm going to die" sick.

I've been to the doctor two Mondays in a row.

So, one of my agencies calls about a job.

Has an editing test.

Okay, not really feeling it but okay.

They first send me a CDA, which I sign, of course.

Then the send me not one, but two files, with several slides and they want me to devote two hours of my life to this test.

I looked it over yesterday and decided to leave it until today.

I woke up abruptly very early and I had another look.

Honestly, I just got madder and madder.

It was RIDICULOUS!

I have 20 years experience and you want me to spend 2 billable hours just to prove it.

Nah, bro, just nah.

Mind you, I could use the money.

But, I've learned, over the years, to trust my instincts.

I sent an email to the agency, passing on the possible assignment, clearly stating that I wasn't going to waste two hours on this.

The relief I felt afterwards was amazing.

I was also pleased that I had once again chosen myself and trusted the Universe completely.

I received a reply from the agency, agreeing with me. Totally understanding. Totally supportive. They had suggested that they should pay the candidate for two hours but they refused.

I think this was another test from the Universe.

Could I be as broke as a joke and still put myself first and trust the Universe that something else will show up?

Yeah, I really can.

Looking forward to what's coming, I know it's going to be great!
