Warning: Rant coming...
Some people have all the luck. I know that technically I'm one of those people. I have a loving family, wonderful friends. I own my own house and I have a great job that makes me happy. However, when it comes to everyday things like making it somewhere before it closes, or actually having something I desperately need for a recipe, or just finding a penny on heads, I'm hopeless. I never get that lucky. I've never even won a dollar on a scratch ticket. It's sad really.
You may wonder why after living 30 years like this, I've decided to bring it up now. Well today I talked to a friend who randomly went to an interview with another company because he was trying to get his friend that worked there, a referral bonus. Out of that interview, he was offered a management position making 30% more than he is now, with the same amount of vacation and a 5K signing bonus just to show him how much they wanted him. Seriously!? Do you even know how many interviews I've gone on. Some for jobs that I couldn't have cared less about but others that I wanted desperately and still never managed a deal like that.
Even in my current job, which actually makes me happy, and is pretty good, I've never been offered a deal that fantastic. That's the luck I want. I'm really not trying to be greedy. I've just been trying to find a job in another country or another state for so long, it'd be pretty nice to have a little of that four leaf clover that this dude has, just for a few months. Once I get the awesome opportunity, I promise to give back the luck and go about my everyday - spilling drinks all over the place, dropping food on the floor and making multiple trips to the store - existence. Cross my heart!
Rant officially over...
