And the Catch is....

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...dontcha think
A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought...it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Yesterday, I had a job interview for a job to dream about. Director of Communications for the Cultural Activities Center, in the next town over. The money is adequate, the benefits are good, they are off more than the banks and they are located less than three miles away from my daughter's school. But the biggest benefit is that I would be hands-on involved with the creation and execution of programs at the oldest continuously run arts council in the country.

I love the arts. Music, theatre, dance and art have always been important to me. To have to opportunity to work in a place where that was our business would almost be as good as being on stage full-time again. And, who knows - with a job like that, who's to say that I couldn't do just that?? I certainly would have time to continue singing in the choirs at TC.

There is but one catch; the job doesn't start until January. Ugh. Six more weeks. Can I wait six more weeks for the job of a lifetime?
