A Gathering Of Words

I spent more of the day on my feet today than I have in a long time. I went job hunting, as if hunting did today justice. The word somehow is lacking in the fact that after the 3rd of 4th walk-in you are ready to throw yourself at a bull for a low paying job just to say you have something. I also took the time to talk to an employment counselor and learn the area on the local bus system. Considering how much of a talker I am I can so see losing myself in some section of town after missing my stop, one must remember to stay focused.
I went and applied at the V.A. I have applied before though not in time to make the job opening. This time I walked in with grace and humility, I belive the lady in HR who spoke with me could see it coming off of me as if an entity. She pulled me aside and offered to do the paperwork personally for me. The job itself would be a low level position, some form of maintenance though it comes with government benefits and for me that is like hitting the lotto.
I made sure to apply for everything I was applicable to do. She read over what I had and set an appointment for me to come back next week. I was floored and chipper as I jaunted out. Now being a hospital and a government one at that I realize this will take time. Though they did not have to be so nice and it amazes me at times how if you treat someone the way you yourself would wish to be treated they can surprise you in return.
(in the past I have been the praying guy for stuff, though how often the guy who just gives thanks to God "just because". I admit it felt funny at first like I was trying to suck up. Then I just went with it. Stuff like "thank you lord you are worthy, god you are mighty, your glory forever lord". After awhile it almost becomes addictive)
I hit a few other places and created some resumes online for local data bases, just trying to get myself out there. I thought about writing a personal site to go with it.
You got to wonder if "Thirty something IT couch surfer/ platform game modder with a background in Security and music production" would be a big sell ?
Even in my humor I guess my fear is evident, though even in my fear I feel the evidence of God around me. So I think my nightly rant ends at this moment and my prayer starts. - X
