Mission Accomplished

Today is the day that I have completed and turned in my WV Lottery License packet for Dual rate supervisor. I think that this has been the hardest I have ever had to work to apply for a position in my life. Now it is totally up to some faceless person in the Commission to review my data and decide whether I am worthy. At this point I just feel relieved, and ya know what? If the answer comes back No, I will understand and still feel like I did my best.

Probably for a lot of applicants it was not the chore that it has been for me. If you follow my blogs you know that my debt is huge for a single person making not a great deal of money, and was accumulated over a time period that I believed I was a partner to, and some day to become a wife of the person who essentially dumped me after proposing. When that fell apart, my credit dived, and it is past resuscitation. Uncle Sam wants me for back taxes because I withdrew from my 401 K to pay his taxes. They have no sympathy and don't care why I withdrew it, even with a cancelled check showing the money was paid to the United States Treasury.

All of that depressing and exhausting paperwork had to be completed prior to filing for my license. The last piece arrived this week. I still have no clue whether I can file for bankruptcy, and I am sharing my boat with a plenty of other Americans who have found themselves unable to get the kind of pay that they once made. Heck, 2/3 of the people I work with can relate.

Now I wait, and I am not stressing it. If it happens it happens, if not I move onto a new plan for a second job, if I can find one that works with my current schedule. If God decides to lay a miracle on me, believe me I will be singing off key loud enough for everyone to hear. I pray for help everyday, even if it is only continued strength to carry on.

Hugs to my cheerleaders,
k

Proud of you for finally finishing that paperwork. Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well.
You have made it this far and I have no doubts that you will succeed. Maybe not as a millionaire, but you will survive. You have proven that you can rise to the occasion with grace and dignity.
Love, Mel
