It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.
I couldn't tell you the last time I set foot in a church for services to worship. I miss it at times and maybe one day I will find a church to be part of. I am thankful that God continues to allow me to wake up to my family in the mornings. Even through the hardest moments when I didn't want to acknowledge him, he has been by my side. 👣
Through this pandemic and my arduous job search that has lasted almost two years, he has been listening to me complain about every rejection email - I swear he told me to just relax and have patience. It took over a month, but I was finally blessed with a job offer working for the state of Texas. When I set out to secure a job for my family I wasn't looking for a title. I almost knew that I would probably not get benefits. I also knew that I would probably be working weekends and different days.
I never expected the job that came my direction would be a Monday - Friday job, weekends and holidays off, full benefits with retirement, and include teleworking. So, today I am so THANKFUL and BLESSED beyond belief that Lindsey, the hiring specialist that kept in contact with me, stepped out on a limb and gave me a chance. 🥰

Today was my first official day at the location that I am going to be working from, although I believe I will be headed out to Arlington for some training as well. I am like 10 minutes from my job and 15 max if we hit all lights on red. LOL!
I have a pretty decent sized office cubicle. I now understand why I walked away yesterday with a laptop, monitor, keyboard, and mouse - along with a docking station and all these cords. LOL! The monitor connects to the docking station and my laptop connects as well allowing me to either use my bigger monitor screen, or a dual setup. I have never really been into dual screens. When it's time to head home, I disconnect my laptop and power down the dock, turn off the monitor, and call it a day.
I also found out today that I will be working from home one day a week. Now I definitely need to clean my desk and table off to make room for a work setup. 😀
Linking up with Wordless Wednesday from Sandee at Comedy Plus.
It's been a bit since I participated.Things have been a bit hectic around here but I have good news - I finally found a full-time job working for my state!! Yay!
So how do you put your roll of toilet paper on the holder? 😂
