I care. Sorry to hear that... but I can tell you story after story of folks who didn't get the promotions they wanted, and it ended up working out for their good. I'm sure you already know that. But just in case you need to hear it: be encouraged. He's already got a plan for you, and it's for your good.

I know. This passed year has been really rough for me. Moving to Philly was NEVER in my plans at all. I didnt get the promotion because my manager let me apply for a position when she should not have. You need to be with the company for at least a year.

I guess my issue is that they allowed me to go to the interview, they gassed me up and left me hanging. I was very qualified for the position... But the HR Dept called my manager and chewed her out for allowing me to apply. In turn, they contact the hiring manager in the other dept and told them thay cannot hire me because it wasn't fair and was outside of policy.

So I get kicked to the curb for someone elses mistake. I know God has something better... It's just hard to have faith when it seems like things aren't woring out. I am urked... LOL, I wanna go get a massage and pedicure or something.

When I first got married I got a job working at Kings County Hospital making $380 per week.  I was a temp.

I had a daughter on the way so I prayed, and prayed that I'd get hired permanently so I'd have some security.  They even TRIED to hire me.  We had a meeting wherein they discussed how things would change once I was made a perm employee.  It never materialized.

I left and started working for a Japanese trade agency, again as a temp.  Again I prayed that they'd hire me.  They, too, tried to hire me, but before they could we were acquired by another company.  One day my manager told me that the company who acquired us was sending over my replacement.  I literally had to clear my desk and be out within an hour!

From there I went to work for a financial news agency making $42K per year as a temp.  They DID hire me, but once I heard we were being acquired by another company (2nd time that happened to me!) I found my current job.

I started out as a temp here too.  I was actually set to be released when, a month before my final day, my manager broke her leg.  That allowed me to stay on and assume some of her responsibilities.  I had to stay well past my 'final' day, and in that time some money opened up in the budget!!!!!!

Now I make more than twice what I made at my last job.  Nice big bonus every year, work from home on Fridays, cool manager.

Thank GOD He didn't listen to me when I asked him to give me that $380 per week job 10yrs ago.  Thank GOD the second company was acquired.  Thank GOD the third company was acquired too!  I hate to say it, but thank GOD my manager happened to be injured when she was so that I could stay on long enough for money to be available in the budget!

I was disappointed when I didn't get those jobs, but now I see.  All things work together.

Yes,  everything happens for a reason ^^

That is a very encouraging testimony, Mr RJ. I really liked it. It is similar to what I am currently facing, and I am really praying that God answers me in His own good time.

Congrats, Betnich.

NRCBYS (Nobody really cares but you should)....I've been reading a book called the Willpower Instinct. Absolutely MIND-BLOWING revelation. If you struggle with procrastination, addiction, or anything due to a lack of willpower, you owe it to yourself to at least check out some of the new information discovered here. Your problem might not be what you think it is.

Yes, I struggle with that - putting things off, or dropping them entirely because someone said something discouraging to me. I think we all struggle w/that to a greater or lesser extant. Will look up that book...

NRC but...........the once proud and mighty Pennsylvania Railroad - once known as "the standard railway of the world" - is the latest Norfolk Southern heritage unit.  Once a strong and prosperous eastern rail giant, the 'Pensy' eventually went into decline in the 60's and formed an alliance with the New York Central that resulted in the ignominious and short-lived Penn Central.  PC (along with several other bankrupt northeastern railroads) were consolidated into the government created Conrail.
