sub-burbs

It seems my worrying about Mistress Trecia being upset with me due to the disconnect were all for naught.  She’s been encouraging me to work with my wife to try and mend the things that are keeping us apart, knowing (I’m sure) that a happy wife means an attentive puppy.  We’ve worked together today on a few projects and it felt good to back in the groove working closely with Mistress.  I just love the feeling of her hovering over my shoulder all day just popping in to see how I’m doing and how the projects are coming.  Someday, I’ve love to work for her full-time, but that is a ways off (unless I hit the jackpot tomorrow - $380 million would make that a reality overnight!)

Today, I had an interview for a new job.  I’ve been in my current position for nine years and, besides the job just getting a little stale, there is one person in particular that I’m having issues with.  With my need for servitude being satiated (and how) by Mistress, I’ve discovered a new inner strength in the vanilla portion of my life that has really started to have a positive influence on day to day events.  One of those things was the fact that I finally decided enough was enough and started looking for a new job. 

It’s been a few years since my last interview (one I completely blew, partially because the headhunter who lined it up horribly mismatched my skills and the job’s requirements), so I was extremely  nervous about today’s meeting.  I expressed this to Mistress, but she immediately told me that I should be confident in myself and my abilities and that they’d be lucky to have me.  Those words were enough to wash away the lingering self-doubt and I was able to march into the interview confident and strong and completely kicked ass.  I was funny, charming, and was able to answer each question with a reminder of why they should hire me.  They plan to bring me back for a second interview with the big bosses, but they’ve already been asking when I can start.

I must sound like a broken record by now (or at least a scratched CD), but my association with Mistress has gone so far beyond the normal D/s roles and has impacted all facets of my life.  My marriage is improving, I’m in line to get a fantastic new job, and I’ve rediscovered happiness and joy in my life.  In boxing up my inner sub, I also managed to close down so many other parts of myself, parts that are now flourishing in the light of Mistress’s mentoring and all-knowing gaze.

I am not a very fatalistic person, but I have to believe that greater powers that ourselves brought me to Mistress.  Our meeting is turning out to be a defining moment in my life and I am so thankful everyday for her presence in my life and honored and blessed to be serving at her feet.
