Sick, tired and turning very bitter about society!
First off I had a great weekend with the girls (other than the allergy and lacking sleep part). Mothers of all children I respect you more than you know!
(insert cute picture here, but bloger is being dumb)
So goes my day! Having spent 3 days with 2 animals that I am allergic to apperently makes me sicker than I could have ever imagined. I am so congested and hacking up both my lungs, and sound like a man. Great for job searching. Hack, Hack! (do you sense the frustration)
I feel like since this hell of not having a job has started I have applied to probably 100 places... and only had 1 phone interview. Last week I tried to go to Kelly, and another temp place but due to traffic I didn't make it in time. So today I got all dressed up again and went out in search of a job (after applying for another 10 jobs or so online last night). I spend an hour driving aroud downtown looking for these places. The one can't exist-- the whole area is under new construction. And Kelly-- well who knows were that is either. After wanting to throw my hands up and go home I thought-- I know where manpower is (I have been avoiding them- since they screwed Ryan over in NC). So off I go-- it's PACKED!! I am the only one wearing a suit and nice clothes and have proper english. You would think this would encourage me since I might have a better chance of getting something. But overhearing that jobs start at 8 or $9 an hour (pre-taxes) doesn't excite me.
Here is my frustration--- I don't know why I went to college and waisted my parents money! So many jobs I am looking at make more than I did at church but only require some TV comercial schooling. I know more and more people who didn't get what I would say is considered a "real" education and make more than many who did. Not that I am saying you have to go to school. I just wish I smart enough to do something like that. I mean Ryan's cousin went to school for 1 1/2 years and makes 28+ dollars and hour. I spent 4 years in college and I am going to make 9!!! It makes me frustrated! I know no one said life was fair-- but Ryan and I try and do things right-- pay our bills, get health insurance, etc. Everyday Ryan sees people driving new SUV's, Porches who are on medicaid-- cause well they don't want to pay for insurance. And yet I can't collect unemployment cause I worked for a fricken church who fired me cause I was sick- cause of them!! And hopeing the kids would stick around and not hate the church I chose to "resign" so that they would be able to continue to grow in faith and not hate the people who don't care enough to care about the person who cares for them! WTH!!! Our world is soo screwed up. Jesus better either come back soon or give me some direction with the job thing!
Anyway-- if you are wondering... today is not a good day to ask about the job situation. Don't bug me about it-- I am looking, and I am just as frustrated as those of you who are helping us out!
Oh and by the way-- yea there are so many people looking for jobs that I can't get into have an interview to place me somewhere til next thursday Nov. 9. Hey, I guess me having proper english is a plus--- but they will all find jobs too. I don't want to be a CEO-- I just want to pay my own bills!

GRRRR!!
