Staggered by My Blessings!

So......

Turns out I qualify for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance.

Honestly, when I realized I qualified you could have knocked me over with a feather.

Also qualified for the 3-month stimulus.

So, yes, money is coming in without me doing anything.

It's funny but right before I qualified I was applying for jobs that I could do at home. Mostly answering phones, customer service. (I want to add here that despite applying to many places, no one ever hires me!)

As I was applying I clearly heard the admonition, "Wait," in my head. Needless to say, I was startled.

Even though I was a bit taken aback, I decide to listen. Over the course of a week, I heard it several times. (Um, no, I do not hear voices. This was the first time, swear to God!)

I didn't quality for regular unemployment and I had tried to apply for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance but got frustrated with the system.

During the "wait" week, I decided in the middle of the night to try it again. It took a couple of hours, and a lot of button pushing but I received a notice immediately that I qualified.

I have to admit I was a bit stunned.

But I don't know why I'm still stunned.

If you rely on the Universe it will take care of you.

Beautifully!

Oddly perfect, perfectly odd

I'm sort of staggered by where we find ourselves with the Corona virus.

I really am amazed though how many areas of concern this virus has touched:


  1. Danger of people not believing in science.
  2. Trump is a jackass.
  3. How Republicans can't govern (how you can you govern when you despise government?)
  4. Job creators (as we all knew) have no meaning to the economy and workers are the economy.
  5. Rich people, bankers, stock brokers, etc are in no way essential to society but nurses, doctors, grocery store clerks, truck drivers, and delivery people are.
  6. Universal health care is absolutely necessary and for profit medicine is a disaster.
  7. Scope and angers of income inequality
I'm sure there are more but I'm just hitting the highlights.

I can't help but think that all the talking in the world would not illuminate all these issues as well as one lone virus.

One simple and elegant (but deadly) answer to a myriad of questions.

I am simply astounded by the elegance of the Universe.

Just trusting the Universe

So I have a phone interview today with a headhunter and an in-person interview with a temp agency tomorrow.

Am I nervous?

Nope.

I no longer get nervous or unnerved about these things.

It's not like I don't need the jobs or the money.

I do.

It's just that when you trust the Universe to bring you exactly what you need you just learn to go with the flow.

Case in point. I called the temp agency when prompted by the Universe. It just seemed like a good time to call. Not first thing in the morning or first thing in the week. Just I'm thinking about this and Abraham says to do something when you think of it. So I did.

The temp agency sent me one of the form emails with a ton of things I should do. Did I do them? Nah. I found my passport because I need two forms of ID. I filled out most of their online interview program.  That seems enough.

I picked this agency because they supply temps to a college I always thought I'd work for. Don't know why, just a feeling.

Let's see how it goes...
