What If?

I've been watching a lot of "The Game" on BET lately, its on at 10am & 3pm incase anyone was interested. I've also caught up on the entire 3rd season on www.casttv.com. So on an episode earlier today they were talking about What Ifs? It started with "what if i never get to play football again?" and ended with "what if i go into labor right now and the baby is really an alien" it made me realize that "what if" game can really go anywhere and wondering "what if" doesn't get you anywhere in life. What if I never find a job? (a true possibility at this point) What if I get sick? (with a $10,000 deductible on my health insurance I would be SCREWED) etc. etc. etc. Wondering about all of lifes possibilities can't and won't change anything about what happens in life. I applied for what I thought was my "dream" job on Friday afternoon, a Real Estate CADD Developer for O'Reilly Auto Parts, I was so qualified for it (the first job that I've WANTED to do & been qualified for) since August. I just knew on Monday morning they were going to call me for an Interview, I stayed up all night Sunday just imagining them calling me and telling me how much they wanted to meet me, I knew I was perfect for the job and was willing to even take the job for minimum wage, a job is better than nothing right?? So on Monday I got a phone call, I was super stoaked for it...it was a Springfield phone number...it was Jenny Craig, they wanted me to come interview for a Weight Management Consultant. It literally does pay minimum wage but I went in this morning to interview anyways because "a job is a job" and I'm desperate at this point, I'll find out next week if I get a 2nd interview. Since July 17, 2009 I have applied for 163 interviews, had 4 interviews & received a lot of rejection postcards & e-mails. However a lot of them haven't contacted me which sort of frustrates me but I know that Blake said they recently had 190 some applicants in 2 days for a position at his job. In the last week I have gotten 2 phone calls sort of wanting an interview, 1 of them was for minimal salary and I turned it down but now regret it because I could have used any job, the other one was needing me to have 6 more classes of psychology :( It was a job that I would have really wanted to do. What if?
