Two days. One thousand miles. Sixteen hours in the car. Almost three hundred dollars. Hopefully, these numbers will add up to the thing I’ve spent months looking for: one shiny new job.
The interview went exceedingly well. Now I’m stuck waiting, which Tom Petty accurately claims to be the hardest part. In the meantime, I’m keeping my fingers crossed and saying a lot of prayers, wondering if it isn’t silly or shallow to pray for this when there are people who need God’s attention more than me right now but not being able to stop because I either need someone to listen or something to calm me down. Between waiting to hear back from this job and waiting to have a conversation that could very well determine a lot of things, I’m going crazy.
On the bright side, Lightning 100 in Nashville never ceases to impress me with their quality music selection. Matt Woods’ “Misconception” might just be my new favorite song.
“Please don’t stay and waste our time
If you have already made your mind.
Please don’t make it any worse
‘Cause you know I put you first.
I will wait for you each day
Despite all the things we say.
I will always love you still,
But it’s killing me ’cause now
It seems like something’s wrong inside,
And I see it in your eyes.
It feels like everything’s
A temporary misconception of love.”
