Superstitious?

So I sent out an Email Thursday, later evening. It was a chainmail, to be honest. Now, generally I don't believe in such foolish chainmails and delete them as soon as I see what they are, especially when they're sent to my "professional" email I use only for work purposes. Well, I happened to get one of these chainmails from my grandma because I unwisely shared with her that particular email address when I was trying to get help finding a job and place to live in Washington. Now I get lots of forwards, again, most of which I just erase. However, on this particular Thursday afternoon I decided to open the email and just read it, just because it gave me something to do. All I had to do was read it, make a wish, then send it off to ten people and my wish would come true if I sent it within the hour of my reading said email. I thought, "Sure, why not." So I made my wish, rolling my eyes as I roll down thinking this email was just like all the rest I'd done and my wish never came true for those ones. Well, I type up ten email addresses that I can remember because I don't have any of my friends' email addresses in that particular account. So I send it off and just go about my business (sadly I can't remember what I was doing afterwards...that's how boring it was). Well, within probably two hours I got a phone call and my wish came true!

I GOT A JOB!!! Okay, so it's not the best job and it's a job that just about any person with a brain (functional or not) could get. It's a temporary position that will give me enough money to last through the holiday season plus a little extra (maybe). I'll be working as a sales associate for Macy's. Particularly in the textile department, the holiday textile department. Basically I'll be selling sheets, comforters, and other bedding materials. FUN! I also find it slightly ironic as I don't even have myself a real bed! Yes, laugh it up with me! Thankfully I'm not on commission and hopefully it's a job I can handle. I was told I'll have to spend just a little more extra time with customers than say a shoe sales person or clothing seller or even cashier. Which I also find ironic as I was hoping to have a position that required as little contact with customers as possible. I think that's someone telling me I need to grow up. Anyway, that's about all the good news I have. Since I'll have most of my days free through the week I'm going to try getting on a volunteer staff that publishes a magazine! Yay for that! That will start giving me editing experience as well as what it's like to actually work in the publishing industry! So this is really a blessing in disguise. Or something like that.

So the next time you get one of those emails and you think it will never work, now you know someone that has actually had their wish come true! :D
