I don't need anger for that; just a job offer. I see no use in being angry, as I knew this company was very good at making rash decisions without much thought and catering to a few power-hungry cliques within its walls. I've just fallen victim to it again. What I can do is apply for as many jobs as I find are suitable for me and hope that I can land one. But, if time runs out, then I have the contingency plan. If it comes to returning to the States, it's hardly the end of the world, just the start of a new chapter. My faith is FAR stronger than any anger I could muster up and, any faith I muster up would help quell the anger anyway. I know (reasonably well) that we rarely know what's around the next corner in our lives. It just happens that when I thought there was only one turn, there was, in fact, a double bend. Life doesn't come with clear road signs either. ;-) > On 23 Jul., 14:10, Pat <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > On 5 July, 17:00, frantheman <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Stay strong, Pat! > > > Thanks, all for your support.
