Thankful

Ok, so I'm a month late with this post.   November is the month during which we think about the things in our life that make us thankful.  I'm sure as many of you celebrated Thanksgiving, you thought about the things in your life that make you thankful. 

On a day to day basis, you might not love your job.  You might not even like your job.  And, unfortunately, many people might even say that they hate their job.  On Thanksgiving, for those of us who have jobs, we remember to be thankful.  Jobs help provide for all the delicious food on the Thanksgiving table.  Considering the the state of our economy and the current high unemployment rate, if you have a job, you most likely feel  fortunate, even if you're not crazy about what you are doing. 

I'm particularly thankful this November regarding the job front.  Shortly before I left for my trip to Paris (more on that in an upcoming blog and one of the main reasons why I am behind on my blog writing), I received a telephone call from the Civil Service Commission ("CSC" -- if you've read my prior posts, you'll know that I worked as a hearing officer for about ten years).

The CSC needed a hearing officer for an upcoming case and they called me.  What a pleasant surprise!  So this week, I found my self back at the CSC office, handling a conference call, and feeling so comfortable doing that type of work again.  I'm really looking forward to the hearing.  I'm so thankful to have this new opportunity.
