Another day of job search...
My feet cannot handle the heels anymore...
Today, I wore my red wedges instead...
And then, I ran into Mary...
someone who was jealous of me from the start...
for absolutely no reason...
She wanted my shoes because they match her blouse...
She has a job...
Why would she want to take my shoes when she can buy her own?!
I have been trying to complete an application since Monday...
but I do not have MS Word...
Tuesday was a horrible day...
I went down to the employment office to open the application they sent me,
but their computers are blocked...
The receptionist talked down at me as if I was nothing...
I wasted all day there just trying to get the application...
The guy was nowhere around...
There was no hard copy...
And the woman who took me to the back is not computer literate.
She wouldn't listen to me
when I asked her if I could go into my email account from her computer...
Instead, she tried to call everyone she could about the application...
but there was no one around to ask...
Finally, she allowed me to open it from my email account...
I couldn't sleep through the night, because I was so angry...
and I woke up angry, too...
I am not one to complain but I felt that I had to this time...
I called the center manager and I told him what bad services
I have received from the same receptionist every time that I go there...
and how the printer is always out of paper
and the copier is always out of paper
and how there is never anyone there to help...
I did not give him my name,
but I am sure that he figured out who I was...
Today, I went to leave him the application
because the guy who is supposed to get it
has not been there all week...
He asked me if I was alright...
I told him yes...
He asked me if I was sure...
I told him yes...
although deep inside, I was still very angry...
I was so angry that it took me two days to complete the application...
Stupid, stupid man who did not hire me...
He was never my supervisor but surely he knows my work...
I had the highest production in the Valley...
Stupid, jealous people who do not like to see some people get ahead...
When I got into my car and drove away,
the tears began to flow...
That stupid man is no one that I admire
and he is no one that I have any kind of respect for...
All he asked me is if I was alright...
How could his words cause the tears to flow?!!!!!
Some people are just mean.
Some people just like to throw around their power...
He doesn't deserve for me to work for him anyway...
but I know I am a good candidate for any organization...
so why is it that nobody wants me?!!#
I've done everything I know how to do
except stand on my head...
I hate job hunting...

I'm sorry you had such a bad week Sweetie. Hang in there. Try to forget about it for a few days and then hit the ground running again. BTW, great Marilyn tag.
Hugs, Joyce
I'm sorry, hope you find something soon. It's hard to job hunt... especially with the economy the way it is, alot of people just aren't hiring right now, they're laying off instead, so don't be so hard on yourself, it's not you.... You'll find something in time.

Morning Win, I am sorry that the job didn't turn out to be THE one...I am beginning to wonder if maybe just maybe it is time for you to move on...is there no chance whatsoever of you moving to another state. When you moved back there was a reason for it..is that reason still there ? If not why not give it a thought...it would be hard I know but it is hard where you are...so pray about it and perhaps you will get a responce that you are not looking for....... When we are so desperate for something that desperation shows through and that might be giving the people that do the interview the feeling that if you are that desperate although everything reads ok on your CV there might be something they can't just put their finger on and so they don't take the chance on you...not fair I know but that is a fact.. LOve for now friend. Sybil xx
Awwwwwww Win I do hope things look up for you soon.It seems your luck is about as good as mine just now.Whatever I touch is going wrong and whichever way I look something is happening,I do not like to see.I think I must have killed a Robin.In England this is a common saying if nothing goes your way.Just think you have a mate who is in the same boat as yourself regarding luck just now he-he..But we will beet them you'll see LOL!! Me and you our army we can do anything, lets just keep fighting the good fight LOL!! Onward Christian Soldiers thats us two.As for the service you got I don't think I would want to work there anyway.I would have probably told them to stick there application form.Heeeeeee.ANGRY wouldn't have been the word for Motherhen LOL!!Prayers being said for you my friend and keep smiling.Something will come along you will see.Take Care God Bless Kath astoriasand http://journals.aol.co.uk/astoriasand/MYSIMPLERHYMES
Hi Wini, sorry I haven't been around. I've got that darned strep again. I just read a comment about trying another state or area. Pray hard about that one. Have you tried USAJobs.com for a federal position? I can't blame you for not wanting to travel with the job unless they reimburse. Gas is way too much money. I'm praying for you big time. Love ya, Chris
Hi Win,
I think that the economy everywhere is bad and there are a lot of people out of jobs thanks to Mr Bush. The only advice that I can give you is not to give up eventually you will find the perfect job.

It's got to get better, right?
And, that woman wanted you to give her your shoes?! Wow. It's nice she admired them, but really, get her own.
Hi Win,
Wow, I am sorry you have had such a bad day. I really feel your pain. I have had those days before. They really suck. Complain away, it's your journal.
The woman is jealous of you ? That's great. You should consider it a compliment that someone wants the beauty and dignity you possess. Yeah she may be a stupid jealous bitch. But she is just mad that she wants to be like you and that she's not. That's what it comes down to whether she admits it or not.
I really hope that you find a job soon. Reading about all this breaks my heart. I wish there was something I could do.
OH (((WIN)))!! How horrible! I am so sorry for other people's ignorance. There has to be a job out there and if youhave to travel they will reimburse you for milage. Keep up the perserverance darling~In the long run it will pay off...I know it will! Big Hugs, Bethe
Job hunting is one of the worst things we have to do in this world!! I hope someone will give you a chance soon Win xx I hate that too whenever I've been on the verge of tears before and someone's asked me if i'm alright it makes them flow.............sometimes we just gotta let it out xx
