The Quandary.....

You ever feel like you've done it again? You know that thing you said you wouldn't do ever ever ever in a million years AGAIN? I feel like the situations I keep getting my self into only seem to be getting more and more like a quandary situation. "Quandary" meaning dilemma or predicament. See I feel this strong pull towards doing the right thing, but in a hypocritical sense I myself don't always do the right thing. For instance I live in a very small rural town and I don't always buckle up my children, when in fact I know I should and do if we drive anywhere else, but sometimes I don't do it here. Its a bad habit and one I don't really like and if I was ever stopped by a police officer I'd insist that he gave me a ticket for the violation. So I figure that being said, if I had a family member doing something illegal I know I'd turn them in. Not to be mean or snoopy or think I'm better, but because of that strange pull inside of me to do what's right. So with out going into any further detail than that. I should say to hell with it no matter what situation I may find myself in. After all I do like the honest "brutal" truth, more often than not..... Its just to bad that I can't share all my "opinions" on my blog, but I do have to wake up in the morning and share this town with everyone else that lives here and really I don't want to piss off the whole town in just one post, I'll drag it on for a few years.
Speaking of a few years it looks like our time is up. Brandon didn't get the City Manager job here in our small community, rather someone else did. Not that its necessarily a bad thing that he didn't get the job, but rather a good thing and I actually feel more relief than sorrow for him. I know how qualified he was and he would have done the City a wonderful job. That being said I want the City to know you get what you pay for, as you will soon find out. The other ironic and absurd thing is all about the interview panel that Brandon faced for this City job. One person of which has been trying to recruit Brandon since he was let go from Wells Fargo. The un-named man had his head Sales Manager call Brandon the next day to yet again offer him a job... You may ask yourself why he didn't jump on the opportunity? Well no offense but Selling/Delivering meat isn't exactly on any point of a career choice for Brandon and the price tag of $25,000 a year isn't even enough to cover the expense of our house payment, let alone any other bills we have. Really come on? Offer a job to a man after not giving him the one he actually applied for? Seems a little ODD (or below the belt) if you know what I mean...
I love my husband and support him %100. He is educated with two Bachelor degrees, one in business, the other in family human development. He wants to work/run/build/be part of a business and he'd be great at it. A fast learner, who cares about people. Has great business/people instincts. Oh and he's great with customer service, he defuses hot situations instantly. He would be a great asset to most companies. However here in our small NO-GROWTH town we are lacking in the company area. Brandon is so driven by his passion to work and provide for his family that he has taken a little trip to go and do what I will call self-promotion. He's going to go and introduce himself to some of these companies that he has been applying with over the last few months. He told me to put a face with the application, he felt as if the internet has made it easier to locate jobs, but has made it to where people are just a piece of paper rather than a human being. You know the old saying never judge a book by its cover. He just wants someone to open the book and read the pages. I hope that someone out there will take the time to open up and read Brandon I guarantee that they won't regret their decision to. Such a hard worker, its just too bad I don't have a lot of money for my own business, because if I did he'd be my CFO or CEO of my company.
In some aspects I'm really excited for our new adventure (job hunting). In others I'm a bit afraid (can we sale the house?). I guess all you can really do at this point is hold onto your pants, because its going to be a wild ride with lots of bumps.
