Wow.

Random.

The great thing about this is that I actually interviewed for this role 18 months ago and was their backup candidate.

The process then was a series of rigorous interviews, whereas this time I just had a couple of very casual video calls and they made the offer.

I suppose it goes to show that being the backup sometimes pays off in the end.

And this is actually much better timing for us as our family is complete now, which it wasn't the first time around.

I'm really happy that the interview process I initially emailed you about has allowed me to expand my network at home, which I will continue to nurture whilst we're away.

I feel very much like it's all working out for the best.

Don't say anything, Jordan.

Don't tell them that we did this.

I wanted to share that email, not just to celebrate her win, which is very well deserved and we're thrilled to hear it, but also because I feel like it's very easy, Jordan, when we're chasing something to get frustrated, to feel lost, you know, to just go like, why isn't this going my way right now when I want it to go my way?

But

over a long enough time horizon.

I think things usually work out and they work out in a way that we couldn't possibly anticipate when we were in the middle of it.

Same.

So obviously we need to work hard.

We need to create as many opportunities as possible.

We need to plant as many seeds as we can.

I think that's usually when stuff like this does happen and there's always luck, right?

That always plays a role.
