odd isn't it?

isn't life the strangest thing? when you have nothing, then you really scrape the barrel, cos you got nothing at all. not too long ago, my thesis research was stuck at a dead end, i had been on a couple of job interviews that returned negative, had no more job prospects on the horizon, was spending days and nights doing nothing, and my life was turning into a personal living hell.

a few months down the line, and i will add that all i say here is strictly touchwood; i am very grateful for all i have, for i feel i really paid my dues. after defending my thesis and getting out of grad school, now i have a good job that pays well. i moved away and started life pretty much anew, and banished quite a few demons from the past. i settled into the community here, met new colleagues and friends, and am generally happy.

and now that i have all i wanted, the fun begins.. i received a call from one of the companies i interviewed with.. asking if i could join them post haste! it seems suddenly they need someone like me, and were willing to negotiate terms etc too. in the depths of my depression this would have been like the lighthouse leading me to safety ashore.. but now i am not moving, i am too well-settled here, and have already started planning my future around what i have and the job that i do. isn't it strange though how these things work out.. that i get this offer now, when i don't need it anymore?
