The Power of Luck & Chance

My body was begging for today to come as I've been operating on very little sleep since last Thursday. I got home from work last night at 2:30am and was in bed by 3:00am, after, of course, I devoured every last bit of my tomato and cheese toastie they forced me to make at work. I slept until 12:00pm and feel fantastically rested once more. An hour or two after having the usual breakfast fare of equal parts weet-bix, fibre sticks and strawberry granola with soy milk I noticed missed call on my mobile from a private number. It had to be the same private number that had been calling me all last week. When the phone rang again I ran to pick it up and it was none other than the executive chef of a well-known vegetarian restaurant I've only dreamt of working in. Tomorrow afternoon is my time to shine and I better be darn shiny because I NEED to get hired!

Shortly after the phone call and a quick "happy dance" my mobile rings again and the incoming call was from a private number. I answered hesitantly and the voice at other end introduced themselves as the executive chef at Crowne Casino! They are finally passing my CV on to human resources to get in contact with me.

How's this for and ego stroke?! Just a few days ago I was dragging my feet around, scrounging for long lost change in pockets and crevices of furniture with my ego draped around my ankles. No sooner than I am hired at the North Melbourne cafe the calls start coming in from other places I'd sent my CV off to over a month ago.

Working at a popular vegetarian restaurant, or any vegetarian restaurant for that matter, would definitely be a dream!
