Analogy

God often compares his relationship with the mankind, with the relationship between a man and a woman. And his faithfulness and her rebellion, his forgiveness and so on. These days I was thinking that the relationship between an employer and an employee is similar to a dating couple. Job interview are similar to dates, people being nervous, getting to know each other, to see if they want to pursue further the relationship which must be mutually beneficial. And each may have multiple suitors, and eventually this ends up a bigamous relationship. I do not appreciate the polygamous relationships, part time jobs, part time rewards. Anyway, even after the engagement, things may end up and people go their separate ways. Changing employers after growing in the relationship, obviously something isn't going well, not enough excitement, not enough good challenges, not enough money or benefits... and the employee writes a goodbye letter, and the divorce is, in most cases, peacefully settled and agreed upon. But there are those times, when all of a sudden, the money supplier decides he needs to get rid of some people, and instead of a mutual decision upon the separation, there is a pink evil slip involved. "You are not needed anymore, and it's not you, it's us. Good bye and good luck." What a tragedy, unless you have a backup plan for your future, or another suitor waiting for your freedom...
I am still waiting for that stupid call. And the reason I made up the above analogy, it's because I feel like I'm waiting for a marriage proposal or something. I am nervous, and there is a 50-50 chance that the cal will give me hope and rest, or will distress me. The suspense is killing me right now. My heart is beating fast... it's rather nerve-wracking. I know I have lots to offer, and I would make a well treasured, dependable, good employee, and yet evereything seems to be a matter of chance, or just a first chance. Well, I would like to know already. It has been two weeks since the interview... Will they propose or not!
