Joy Unexpected | Marvel at the Dullness!

January 25, 2007

And the results are in. (And I couldn't have done it without you.)

I almost choked from nerves, but then I "got a grip" as they say and passed with 53wpm. (3 mistakes = 6 point deduction.)

I have a million thoughts spinning in my head at the moment, because what if I actually get the job? I'll need to find someone to watch the kids and find rides for the teenager after school and blahblahblahamilliondifferentthingsblah.

There will be plenty of time to worry and to work those details out (IF I even get the job) so for now, I will revel in the fact that I passed the mother effing test and that I didn't let my fear of failing keep me from trying.

You TOTALLY ROCK girl! All that worry for nothing. See?

(Yeah, I act like it is THAT easy to not worry.)

Everything will fall into place. If anyone can make this work, if its suppose to "be", its you!

I am very impressed! I can't type with all my fingers on the right keys and all of that, so I will never pass a typing test, even though I type over 65 wpm:o(

Great! When I took my typing test I also was nervous beyond belief and they let me take it 3 times before I passed. So glad you did it.

Posted by: Becki at January 26, 2007 08:56 AM

I've actually walked out of jobs, that I'd just gotten hired to, mid-morning because I felt I was going to screw up and get fired anyway.

I'm really really happy that you didn't let your nerves get the better of you. I knew you could do it!!

Posted by: Ashley at January 26, 2007 09:54 AM

Yay! Go you! I'm so proud that you got over your fear and did it anyway... and look! You did a good job, too!

Posted by: Kait at January 26, 2007 10:45 AM

Good job! It's it's meant to be, it will all work itself out. No sweat.
