Finally, finally, finally!!!

I have actually, after sending out many many resumes for the past 5 mo, finally gotten a phone call and set up an interview. The job is something I would be good at (grossly overqualified but has definite foot in the door serious advancement potential) in an area that I like and am familiar with and would not require me to be around a lot of people, yet still be very busy and productive doing something in my field!!

Also, I have also signed up to do some paid tutorina and I am very excited about it. I would not want to be around a ton of kids but I can feel for parents with kids who need extra help in school.

Anyway since I am down to a few bucks, I could definitely use your prayers to see me through. I got too much on my plate!

Also my aunt in NY has heart disease and she's scared she is going to die so please pray for her. She's doing better right now but she has some calcified areas in her heart and some blocked blood vessels. I'm trying not to freak...but if something happens I have no money whatsoever to get up there (sad thing is I've been down this road before when my sister died).

I have totally got to get my shit together, I am too old for this shit.....

You and your aunt are in my prayers.

If I have to list my address, write in my SSN, or sign my name ONE.MORE.TIME. I'mma 'splode!!!

But it was great... honestly, it just felt so good to be working again, to be with colleagues, to have someone ask me for help on things...

Don't get me wrong, self-employment RULES! But it did get kinda lonely at times and the pressures of responsibility were, at times, tremendous... (especially when the economy was really in the tank, those were painful days... )

nothing like a job interview to make you feel like a total failure

I can't call this one. The problem is not that I'm not qualified....the problem is I'm hella overqualified....so I had to try to sell myself. That, of course, is hard to do when you are suffering from anxiety and low self-esteem heaped on you from your previous employers.

Very nice atmosphere, though. Busy work, and few people to interact with, in an area that I'm familiar with and like a lot. I can't go wrong with that.

I won't know anything for a few weeks.

But that is kinda good because the government jobs are hella slow. Note to government....maybe your ass has a shortage in this field because you take 2 years to hire people! Just a thought!! Government job has minimal appeal except for the pay and benefits....

I think it's a hoot for them to have "reviewing applications" on the screen for the past 3 weeks like they have a huge number of applicants to wade through....if you did you wouldn't have a shortage, so why are you fronting?

^^

Prayers extended. Hope all goes well for you.

I'm visualizing only good things for you, your kid and your aunt.
