I'm not complaining. But I don't get it. [View all]

In the past week, two phenomenal things have happened. First, I received an email from the University about a job opening in a nearby town for a public entity. It looked good, so I sent my resume. I got an instant reply from them, went in and interviewed, and got the job. It is a job that has benefits and pays the same as I am getting now, but has a possible future for me for promotion. Then, yesterday, I got an email from my University department head (I'm a Ph.D. student) telling me about an assistantship opening, and I sent an email to the prof. offering it and got that. So now, I will not have to worry about losing my Social Security (widow's benefits) because of working full time - the assistantship will make up the difference.
So what happened? Why two wonderful things in one week?
And, on top of that, my love life is really good right now.
Oh, and here's another - my current boss found a replacement for me in one day and I'm already training her. Talk about fortune.
Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket?
LOL
