a couple years ago I took a job at a financial institution

[magical thyme]

I posted in here about it; I thought I was being sent there to uncover corruption. But I couldn't find any. It's not that the company's *clients* (including goddam sux etc) weren't corrupt. But this company was just another of their lackeys, and very, very straight, and we were too far removed from the clients to see their gory details. Also mostly nice, although I didn't like a couple of their policies. It was the local people they'd just hired within my work group that were horrible.

In the meantime, I continued on at school and then in the health care field, where I have found all kinds of nightmares. I've posted about what I'd learned a number of times in GD, and on a few occasions have gotten inquiries about the health care delivery situation. Most people with questions would preface that they were looking into allied health edu and work for their daughter or son. But a couple inquiries just didn't come off that way, and I suspected immediately that they were political operatives looking for real world lowdown, which I was happy to provide.

Anyway, my old company ran an ad last week -- they're hiring again. The manager who wrecked things for me there the 1st time 'round is gone. I learned from a former co-worker that one day last summer (9 months after I left) they were called together and told she was gone. No word why, so presume fired. My other nemesis may or may not still be there BUT her husband was military and she knew they'd be stationed elsewhere within a couple years, so if she's still there it won't be for long.

I've just sent them my resume. I realized that I could work full time 2nd shift there in the winter, when it's their busy season and my farm slow season, and cut back to part time over the summer, so I'd have all day to care for the farm and furbabies. And make more money and have benefits, without getting physically beaten into a pulp the way I am now.

This is, of course, the 2nd choice. The 1st choice being lottery

1. forgot to mention my angel visit

which was focused what I really want to do, and what I really can't stand to do. The message I got (actually the day before the angels scheduled arrival) was that this was a temporary assignment to plug a hole for them. I had been feeling a trifle jealous of the universally loved and petted on young student (even Kathryn the horrible likes her!!!!) doing her clinicals. Once I understood my role, my envy ended. I just ceased to care, even though at the time no exit routes had surfaced!

2. thank you for sharing

An angel visit --- sounds wonderful. Can you describe what's involved in an angel visit? What it looks and sounds like?

You never know how your message resonates with others. After reading your post, I immediately asked my angels for a temporary assignment. I said I could use the cash and the confidence-building. I heard nothing in reply. It feels as though I caught them by surprise.

3. the angel visits started during DU2

I couldn't participate back then. They resurfaced a couple months ago, so I jumped in. They visit for 5 days, you follow a ritual during that time with white candles or lights and an apple, and then you send them on to their 3 next people. Being angels, I guess they can expand infinitely.

My visit was flat, to be honest. I didn't feel anything or notice any unusual synchronicities. But I did get the message the day before they were due to arrive that my current job is a temporary assignment to fill a plug at the lab until they could get the right person in.
And then just a month or so later, the ad showed up from the last company I worked at.

I'm sure the angels will be making the rounds again soon. You may want to put up a post now so whoever has them visiting will know to contact you.

4. I'm with you on lottery being the first choice!

But, failing that, I hope this new opportunity works out well for you.
