When I first came back to Gettysburg, I was very disappointed to find out that my second part-time job was no longer available. What was really hurtful was that the manager seemed to take a degree of pleasure in letting me know that "I WAS NO LONGER NEEDED". Following this was a misunderstanding with another person where I had hoped to get some work. I don't think I have ever before been the subject of gossip as in this case. Well, I had a discussion with the person in question, and things seem to have been worked out.
Now, for the good part. In the meantime the same person who had been upset with me has actually called to tell me about a job she was aware of to help me out. Also, while looking for employment I stopped at the Regimental Quartermaster, and a lady there told me that their sister shop, the Emporium, could be looking for someone, and, in particular someone to do sewing for them.
I had my first interview with them, and it went well. Then, I met with the seamstress there. By the time I left I had an idea of how many hours each week I would be working and what they wanted from me as far as sewing. I was even given fabric to start the work on some aprons.
I also received a call from another co-worker at Shriever House about a different job opening.
These events have restored my faith in people. And, as for the woman who let me know I was no longer needed--nah nah nah nah--I got a better job, where I will even have the opportunity to learn more things about sewing garments! God may close one door, but He certainly opened another for me.
See I told you things would work out!
