The End Where I Begin

As of July 1, I've been out of work for seven months.  It hasn't been easy on me.  I hate just sitting around and not having anything to do.  I gave up looking for a job a couple months ago, deciding to focus solely on going back to school.  While I was happy with that decision, I wasn't happy with the fact that I'd have to live on student loan money alone.  I'd be able to do it, but it wouldn't be easy or very much fun at all.

On Wednesday, I received a phone call from a staffing agency who found my resume posted on one of the career websites.  They had a client who needed someone with my experience and wanted to talk to me about the position.  I called back out of curiosity, but I really didn't think anything would come of it.  After speaking to the very nice woman at the staffing agency, she e-mailed over a couple quizzes for me to take online to make sure I would qualify.  I took them and waited to hear back.  Thursday morning, bright and early, I got a phone call from staffing lady... Hired.  No interviews, no application, no nonsense.  All I had to do was take a drug test and come to her office to fill out some paperwork.  So of course I did both of those before the end of the day on Thursday.  My start date is this coming Wednesday.  It's a long term contract position, and I'll be receiving a full benefits package (vacation, health, 401k) from the staffing agency.

It just goes to show that when you stop looking so hard for the answer, it will show itself.  I honestly believe that good things come to those who wait... And those who keep the faith that things will work out in the end.  I'm so unbelievably grateful that I can't even express it.  After these past few months of ups and downs, all I could think of to sum up the situation is a song by The Script, 'The End Where I Begin'.


Sometimes tears say all there is to say
Sometime your first scars wont ever fade away
Tried to break my heart
Well it's broke
Tried to hang me high
Well I'm choked
Wanted rain on me
Well I'm soaked
Soaked to the skin

It's the end where I begin
It's the end where I begin

Sometimes we don't learn from our mistakes
Sometimes we've no choice but to walk away, away
Tried to break my heart
Well it's broke
Tried to hang me high
Well I'm choked
Wanted rain on me
Well I'm soaked
Soaked to the skin

It's the end where I begin
It's the end where I begin

Now I'm alive
And my ghosts are gone
I've shed all the pain
I've been holding on
The cure for a heart
Is to move along, is to move along
So move along
[X3]
What don't kill a heart
Only makes it strong

Sometimes tears say all there is to say
Sometime your first scars dont ever fade, away
Tried to break my heart
Well it's broke
Tried to hang me high
Well I'm choked
Wanted rain on me
Well I'm soaked
Soaked to the skin

It's the end
End where I begin
It's the end
End where I begin

Sometimes we don't learn from our mistakes
Sometimes we've no choice but to walk away, away
