A bittersweet day for Monorail_Red

Hi Everyone.
A bittersweet day it is for me today.
As you all know from reading my posts, I have a deep desire to participate in the WDWCP.
But there's a whole part of me that you all don't know. During the past 5 years I've been working for my local school district for technology support. I loved it. This year they eliminated my position and I had the opportunity to take a related position.
Well, as promising as it looked, I didn't get the job...I got my letter today. :(
More than likely it's because of politics, and plus the place has been a bureaucratic mess, but I'm not going to get into that.
It's especially tough because it's the same school system that I went to school in from when I was 5yrs old all the way up to my senior year of high school. I had the opportunity of a lifetime. The people that were once my teachers became my co-workers and I got to know them in a different capacity. In other words, everyone became second family to me.
We all know it is always so hard to leave a place you are comfortable at...change is difficult. It's not the school system itself that I'm going to miss...it's all the wonderful people that I got to interact with every day for the past 12years that I'm going to miss, and there's no changing that.
But this is the turn of events that I needed to further encourage me to do the WDWCP, sooner than later, Spring 2010, because who knows what doors will open for me. If I did get the job, then I would have waited a year or two for the WDWCP.
Maybe this was just something that was meant-to-be. Let's hope so.
On a more positive note, I did get another tech job elsewhere so it's not like I'm going to be unemployed. Things could be worse for me...a lot worse. I consider myself to be very lucky.
Well I will see you all out there on the boards. Thanks for reading.
