If I Had to Choose

I have an interview this Wednesday with a law firm that does plaintiff's-side employment and personal injury law. I might actually open-mouth kiss anyone in their office if they hire me. (Exaggeration, of course.) But the thing is, I just want to be an attorney - a full-time, full-fledged attorney. What I lack in experience I more than make up for in tenacity and enthusiasm. I hate to fail. That's one of the several reasons not passing the bar (twice) was so difficult for me. I can do this job, and I so badly want to do this job. So please wish me luck!

My dad had an interview today for a full-time management position at a retail store. And I immediately said a prayer in my head when he told me. "Please God, please let him get this job. And if you have to say no to someone, say it to me. Let him get this job."

My father is so proud and has wanted to work hard his whole life. He's one of those people that doesn't take their breaks because he wants to work and do a good job. He has been out of work for about 2 months now, and I know it's really hard for him. So please, God, please let him get this job. I'd like mine too, but I want it more for him. I'll get by, but I know how much he needs this. Please. Please let him get this job.

If you're reading this, please send prayers/positive thoughts and energy his way. Thanks!
