Fruit of the Spirit - Patience

I'm 5 minutes too impatient. I had applied for a job at Bethel last Thursday night, which meant, I was hoping Friday morning for a confirmation e-mail from them that they had received. I got none. Monday again, none. Tuesday, none. I had decided that late Wednesday afternoon I would e-mail human resources and if by Thursday afternoon I still hadn't heard from them I would call them. The application deadline wasn't until July 4th.

So... Late this afternoon I had decided, I should e-mail human resources. I logged on to Bethel's site to make sure the job was still posted and began to look for the human resources e-mail address. It wasn't on that page. It wasn't even on the human resources homepage. Finally I found a "contact us" link at the bottom of the main page and searched the list for human resources. After copying the link I was typing in the google mail address when my cell phone started vibrating in my pocket.

It was one of those times when you think, wouldn't this be weird if it was Bethel calling me, and more than the thought stuck in your head, and you were confident it would be. Before I answered the phone I had actually decided it would be more weird if it wasn't them, that's how confident I had become.

I was glad to find out I was right. They decided they would start interviewing people for the mail specialist job tomorrow and Friday. I'm slated for 9:00 tomorrow morning, which means tonight, I've already showered, shaved, and got a haircut.

Wish me luck.
