Today did not go as I expected. Those of you who have delved into all the 150+ posts I have put up since I started this blog almost exactly 2 years ago may recall my disdain for the annual appraisal. Dig back in the archives and you will find it early on. Probably in the same month-I haven't checked-you may also recall a rather cryptic message about God moving in a mysterious way. Still sounds cryptic? Well read on.
It was supposed to be the dreaded appraisal day today but fate intervened. The post from earlier this week was a very sanitised version of how I was feeling. This week has been truly shit and I have felt utterly betrayed. I e mailed a few friends about the appalling outcome of my appeal. When I got back to my office there was a response offering to meet for coffee and a "natter". It was from the same man who made me feel that the divine is most mysterious.
I can't yet go into the details but what we had hoped might happen 2 years ago is finally coming to fruition. It is not a done deal but in about 6 weeks time I may know more about my future.
This intervention divine or otherwise truly lifted my mood and self belief. The bonus was that my appraisal was postponed too. That may or may not happen in a couple of months time, but that depends on the outcome.
I called my dad to tell him the news. He told me God wasn't moving in a mysterious way but rather that he had been praying for me. Perhaps he is right.
I Heard a Voice.
PS And no doubt Dory you will be grilling me on Friday!
PPS I'm off to the Fu Hao to celebrate a good day!
