Ok, so its been a full month now that I have been out of work. OMG! I have never been without a job since I was 14. This is crazy. I am so hell bent on finding a job that my days are getting shorter. I can't even remember what day it is or who I talked to.
I am glad that I have to get up in the mornings to take the boys to school.......if it weren't for them theres a good chance I could fade away. I could easily lose days and nights. I am lucky to have people in my life to keep me active.
But seriously how the hell do your days get shorter?!!!!
I get up take the boys to school, (right around the corner they could walk) come home make coffee, turn on the puter check emails surf job sites fill out applications......then the next thing I know its time to pick the boys up and I still haven't showered!!!!
I keep saying I am gonna enjoy my time off and relax a little.......learn to take a nap.......lol
right I have yet to do that
I know there will come a time when I will be wishing for these days back......
.......at least I hope so.......
The gas man came and fixed my heater YaY!!! Now the dog can thaw out. :-P
I got a break on it .........I think.....it only cost 165.00 so I was told but, I have yet to see it on my gas bill. :(
Then, I got a call from a staffing agency this week. They found my resume on Monster.com and told me Bank of America is looking for closers!!! YaY. I was so excited. So I gave them my information and got things ready.....then called yesterday to follow up and found out that BOA put a freeze on that position....... great! they are needing 30 processors ASAP!! Which is a good bad thing. That means that they will be needing closers soon after.........I am guessing after the first of the year.
So anyways, I went in today and filled out the rest of my paper work and now its just a waiting game. :( But I am still looking.
There really isn't that much out there thats for sure. Hell I can't even find a place to tend bar. Resturants and Bars are cutting back too.
First, I was laid off, then I get denied for assistance, then its been nearly 4 weeks and no bites for work, then speaking of bites.......my 11yr old peek bit me in the face and drew blood!, and today ............well today my furnance decided that it doesn't want to work anymore and is only putting out cold air.
I am truly not sure how much more I can take......I really dont want to find out but........I am so spent.
I must have really pissed off the Gods some how.....
All I can do is laugh........simply because if I start crying I don't think I will ever stop.

You have broad shoulders babe ... I should know, i've bitten them!!
well I feel your pain cause I am in the same boat , yet we come from strong bloodlines you and being family and all, we have that and family to help so call me if you ... yo cousin...
So I am still unemployed and looking for work everyday. However, I have noticed that most everyone wants you to apply ONLINE. then they will contact you if they are interested.
Nearly every single job position says MUST HAVE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE...... lol....... all I can do is laugh.
I remember back when things were personable. You walk into a business, meet with HR or manager, hand them your resume and go from there.......usually a personal interview.
These days they request that there be no phone calls or walk in's.
How the hell do you know a person if you are just reading some damn thing on the internet.!?!?!?!? Most of which are fill in the blank or multible choice applications.
Some go the extra mile to email you an automated confirmation saying that someone is currently reviewing your application...............
Ugh.......
