LeighMo's bit of heaven (or hell)

.....it seems. I have a job. It rocks. I sit and play on the computer, while I'm waiting for someone to help. Its a new service, and while the powers that be wine and dine the hotels in Grand Rapids looking for clients, I get paid to play on myspace, read news, and blog. Once a week I get paid to drive to Grand Rapids, go to a meeting, and drink coffee. They like me, they weren't sure at first but I think now they are pretty confident I won't make an ass of myself or their company.

I have the job because of a guy. No, I didn't have to peddle myself for it, nothing that interesting. I was perusing a singles site and I saw his picture. I read his profile. And a little voice inside my head kept telling me to contact him. But he lives near Grand Rapids, has one kid and doesn't want more, so I figured eh. And the voice got louder and louder until just to shut it up, I tracked him down on myspace.

While emailing back and forth, we discovered that I was out of work and his company was looking for someone entry level. We talked geek a lot. We talked kids alot. We talked useless exes a lot. I met him for coffee, where we talked more. I got an interview with the company, and the boss didn't hate me, so I got hired. He's funny, that guy. But cool.

If I hadn't emailed a stranger, who I emailed because of a gut feeling, I wouldn't have a job and I wouldn't have found Nate. He tossed around the soul mate label thing once, and I told him that wasn't quite it. Soul mates I think come and go throughout our lives; sometimes they evolve with us, but most times they don't and for whatever reason no longer remain our mates. I prefer to think of us as copies of each other's souls...we are so alike, so in tune, even when we are an hour away from each other we are ususally thinking or doing the same things, saying the same things at the same time.

Its quite nice. The job is working out nicely. I'm going to be doing some graphics work for them, too, when I'm waiting for stuff to roll in. If I could afford to, I would travel to GR more often, because the downtown area is fabulous. I'm in no big hurry, though, there is no rush for the future and it will come when it does.

Thats why I've been silent, getting on with the show and staying mucho busy. Which is how I like to live.
