Yeah, I turned down the first job that I was offered because I was sure something better would come along (PACU at UC Davis! Can you imagine???). I definitely wouldn't have done that if I'd known jobs were going to be so hard to find. On the other hand, I hate to admit it, but in my heart I know everything really did work out for the best for my weird circumstances. If I had had a job when I needed to get divorced so suddenly, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to leave town--and I really, really needed to leave town. If I was religious I'd say something about "God's plan"!
