Well, Tuesday of last week I went in to Inland Printworks about their opening for a pre-press tech. The owner scheduled a test run for later that day. Everything went pretty well, and he asked me to return the next day to see how I faired for the whole day. Again, the day went pretty well, but it was becoming apparent that I did have a lot to learn. However, I was told I would be tried out for the next several days, so on Thursday I worked yet again. Then, on Friday, the owner decided I was not yet at a level at which he would want to train me. Broken-spirited, I could only agree with his opinion that I was not ready to work there. I was devastated. I felt like I had failed myself. Worse yet, I felt like I failed Bella and my future with her.
But Bella, bless her, lifted my spirits. She let me know that she was proud of me for giving my best. She encouraged me, reminding me that I will find a job and things will work out. And so, for her, for our future, I continue the search. I will make her proud!
