FINALLY got a BIG bite....

....from the Chicago job search this morning in the form of phone call. It was one of first places that I applied to and received a reply. It was a Security Supervisor position, which was something that I am looking for as a form of a career advancement for myself. I am very happy about this opportunity. It will take place on Monday, February 26th. I will fly on the day before so I can be ready and relaxed before the interview. I hope to get a few more interviews lined up in the meantime as well for that same day to save money on airfare. I will definitely take the time to write those follow-up letters for companies that I am interested in and see what happens. I am starting to feel that the hard work has really started to pay off at the end.
This upcoming week will REALLY fly by with this interview coming up. It makes the distance away from Josh much easier for me. Both of us are dealing with possible career moves with his interview he had today to this upcoming interview I will be having. Everything's SO exciting right now. I am praying that this good luck will continue because I am in need of it. I find it SO ironic to get this phone call because I was talking to a fellow blogger about it last night.
Speaking of prayers, I have two people who I know that are in the need of them. First, it's my ex's family who's dealing with recent news that his grandmother's admission to a local hospice for Congestive Heart Failure. He visited her and seems comfortable right now. She's 93 years old and lived a full life, but it's not that easy to bear for my ex's family.
The second set of prayers are for my co-worker, Brad, and his family. He's one of my good co-workers who has been there for me during this job search process. He's a mentor to me and someone I have sought advise from. He's dealing with heart rhythm issues and was admitted once again for problems. He has a very dicey case where it's potentially fatal. I do not know the status of his issues right now. I am just hoping he can survive from it.
I made an appointment for my knee again with the same orthopedic doctor on Monday morning. I will be asking (or BEGGING) for a cortisone injection where there's a HUGE flare-up. The exercises that he gave me a flaring-up the knee instead of getting better. I can walk for a while for exercise, but bothered by pain afterwards. Oh well. I hope this appointment will help. I need it.
That's all for now.

There just seems to be so much bad news going around this week; hope your job search ends happily and the knee pain is gone very soon.

sending prayers out to those two....

Good luck on the job interview. I have a very good feeling about it, though. I think you'll get it. :)

Good luck on the interview and other job search things that are going on.

I'd think long and hard about cortizone shot...I just have heard so many bad things about them. My chiro is very against them, and he's a tri guy!!
