April Showers

Yes, today is the first day of April, usually met with traditional jokes and pranks from family and coworkers. Well, still unemployed so no coworkers and family is just to serious to joke around so pranks for me today. : (
Had an interview yesterday with a heating and cooling company. I can definitely do the job but did they like me, did I say the right things, did I interview well. Time will tell. I never have strong feelings one way or another about interviews. I just go in as myself and tell them what I can do and what I am good at, sometimes my weaknesses (if they ask) and leave it all in God's hands. What else can you do, stressing over it will not change the outcome so why bother. I guess I have learned a lot about giving things to God in recent years and it does come easier the more you do it.
Surprisingly I have found several jobs that I qualify for on the internet. I thought given the current employment situation that all the mid level jobs would be taken. That was nice to see. I really dont have the drive like I did 15 years ago to climb some corporate ladder, I just want to work at a place that is solid, good work ethic in management and good honest people. I can do so many things that I have diverse skills to offer so I feel that is an asset no matter where I end up.
Waiting for spring this year seems particularly hard. My nephew Chad has blogged that it is a hard time of year for him in his job because of planting of the fields, etc. I know how those farmers feel, just let me get out there and put something in the ground and watch it grow! I get excited thinking about all the possibilities of the things I can plant and the new things I can learn about gardening. I never got to play in the dirt until I moved out of the house so I guess I have a unmet childhood need to get into the dirt. But then again, growing our own food is the basis of life so maybe it is just the earth instinct. Either way, cant wait.
Bring on those April Showers so we can get our May Flowers!
