Sorry to hear bout the joblessness! Good luck in finding a new job... its my year anniversary of being unemployed this halloween... redundancy... pah! Sounds like you needed to escape that place though JaneyPoos used to be it... then they changed what it was. Now what I am isn't it and what is it is strange and frightening to me...

Kinda having a really mad day thinking about how these people tried to scam one on me, and how fake and rude some people were, and a really sad day like did I suck so bad and do something wrong. Lawd, I hate having chronic depression! And sometimes I hate that I can't just suck stuff up and not care. The same traits that make me hardcore is what got me through life, so why should I change.
But I have my tat to remind me I AM strong! I did start getting my CE together, and applications for my transcripts, and have my resume updated. LOL my boss advertising at the same place my resume is posted.... | |

Everything will work out... just have faith.
Ultimately, this was the best thing, although it really sucks with the holidays coming up. But you posted about how miserable you were- with the bosses and your coworkers. And when you go into interviews, go in with your game face on and your *ish* tight. I'm sure your paperwork says it all... Do you have any Halloween plans? Do something nice for yourself....

It's sad when people can smile in your face and stab you in the back and act like YOU are the one with the problem. But it's good to get away from people like that too. The best thing was finding out who my real friends are too, and to discover that my real problem in life is that I work hard, I'm honest, and I don't tolerate stupidity. Didn't think that would make life such a struggle but evidently the key for most people is to kiss ass and play games. Shit folk had me thinking I am the crazy one. I'm mad and sad and scurred and embarrassed and happy and ready to take a real rest (people thought since I was out on surgery for 2 months, that was like a vacation ) and then get my plans into gear to take all this education and do something productive with my life. And maybe also try to find a relationship with a man I can trust. And to get back to the gym. I haven't been living my life. I've just been trying to survive it. And I haven't had much joy for a long time. Life's been beating me down where I didn't even feel I wanted to live, or get out of bed, or face people. But I have had many people on my side too, and I think I am finding acceptance within myself in regards to the general shadiness of the world. Basically it sucks, and I don't. I have standards, morals, manners, intelligence, and charm, Imma be a'ight. Plus I got big brestses!! Easy, girl. I know exactly how you feel. The very same thing happened to me two years ago. I have the very same work ethic as you...Do your damn job efficiently and without the drivel and bullshit people try to throw at you. Mind your damn business and don't tolerate foolishness or stupidity. Your reward for being the backbone of the department is backstabbing, jealous, envious, ignorant, lazy superiors and coworkers breezing on through while you get sabotaged and maligned. It stinks and stings, and I know this probably won't be much comfort, but I firmly believe what goes around comes around. If you're interested later on down the line, check back to see what jumped up and bit who square in the ass! Take your time in "resurrecting" yourself...one thing at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself with too much on your plate. And DO take advantage of your unemployment if your job search isn't successful. I too thought I would be penalized for being fired, but I got my full benefit and am still receiving benefits after applying back in April of 2008. Get that stimulus money, chile! You deserve it and it's your money! Bless you. | |
