Third Time's a Charm
Everything happens for a reason.
Sometimes, I forget this.
I don't know really know what the phrase "Third time's a charm" means other than after two failed attempts you're statistically more likely to achieve what you're trying to accomplish. But, yesterday, after failed attempts at landing jobs with two education economists in the last two months, the third time indeed became a charm.
Through those two guys, I was trying to get a foot in the door with the researcher I desperately want to publish with - a world guru in the subject.
Well, yesterday I landed a position directly with him! (sigh of relief) Ironically, he basically hired me as the boss of the dude I lost the first position to. What are the odds?
I am a marionette of the cosmos.
