Gainful employment == good

I've found a job.

In May, I was given a warning that bad things were possibly happening in the lab I am working in. In June, my lab director and my lab manager met with me and told me my position was going away and my last assignment of great import was to migrate the IT services I provided to the center that provided the IT support for another part of the lab.

This whole process made me feel pretty miserable. I was able to keep much of the miserable away by surrendering to the process. I applied for four positions on the Campus I worked at and got 2 interviews and was another position couldn't possibly pay me what I wanted. A little more than a week ago I received a verbal offer for the last of the four positions. I'm relieved and grateful. I wasn't necessarily worried about finding a job, but I wasn't thrilled with the prospect of moving.

I am humbled by the many people who came by to congratulate me and wish me well over the last couple of weeks. These are all people who found out about my job foray through a prayer chain.

Blessed be the Lord. I have a job.
