When things just work out...

I am feeling some what gobsmacked! Amazed! Excited! And well... gobsmacked!

Recently I resigned from a job that I had a go at for 3 months. When I saw the job advertised I thought, gee what great hours! I might apply. I didn't need a job, but the hours were so good that I didn't want to pass it up.
I am a hairdresser. I had resigned to the fact that I would probably never get a job in hairdressing with the hours that suited being a mum. They want you to work Thursday nights, saturdays and anything else they can weasel out of you.
The other job didn't work out. Turned out I was working in Bogan Central!! Honestly, it wasn't even about the clients [though I had some odd occurances! I must blog about them] my boss had no standards & was just well a bogan! I have since found out that I must be the ONLY hairdresser in my town who had no idea about that salon. But anyway. I didn't last long.

Getting to the point of this blog.

I was speaking to a friend at church [who is also a hairdresser] on sunday night & she was saying how much she loved her new job, so I half jokingly said well tell your boss if she needs a casual to give me a call. I really didn't expect a call because well.... I really am stingy on what hours I want to work.
She called anyway!!!!! Last night at 6pm I got a call while I was doing the dishes. She asked me what hours I wanted, I told her & she said YES!!!!! Wow. YES!! So I started TODAY :D So until next year when Almond Eyes starts kindy, I will be working every second Friday from 9:30am - 2:00pm. PERFECT!!!! Next year I will do every Friday....

Amazing. Praise God for answered prayer! :)
