I hate to post this here, but if anyone knows of a free or a pet clinic that's willing to take payments please get in touch with me ASAP. I have a male cat that is unable to urinate and is in terrible pain. I have called everywhere and no one is willing to take payments. I took him down to the SPCA and they wouldn't take me without an appointment. I don't feel that my cat should be punished because I happen to be unemployed at the time, so please if any of you know somewhere that actually cares about animals and is willing to work out payment arrangements please let me know.
Luke's a wonderful cat and is in terrible pain... It just breaks my heart to see him this way.
Yesterday was a good day... Finally there were some decent jobs to apply to, one in particular that I have my hopes up about (pray for me)... It really was everything that I wanted in a job, and the first one that I really got excited about in a long time.... so here's hoping that I get called in for an interview.
I also was scheduled for 2 interviews next week. Monday and Wednesday... Which is nice because I was beginning to have doubts as to why it's so hard for me to find a job. I'm know that the market is bad and really competitive right now, but I do know that i have at least some marketable skills. I guess it's just being in the right place at the right time. Doing what you can, while at the same time knowing that the Lord is going to put you where you are needed.
Well, I don't want to sound too whiny on this blog, but I'm trying to keep my head up and not get depressed about my situation.
I got another rejection from a job that I applied to today. I just applied yesterday, and the thing that really got me this time is that I wasn't given the usual "We've already filled the position, but love you anyway" sort of thing. This time I didn't even get a reason. I'm not listing the company but I thought I had the qualifications and the position did sound like something that I would enjoy.
Anyway I've applied to hundreds of jobs and have only had 1 interview. I have like $40 to my name and have to keep my anxiety inside so my kids don't pick up on how dire the situation is. I guess that's partly what I'm "blogging" to get some of it out. I know I have to keep plugging along and applying to jobs, but when you don't even get called for a data entry job it does get harder to keep hope alive.
I guess all one can do is too keep doing everything they can. I keep praying that the Lord will send me where I should be. While it's been nice to be off these past few weeks, I wish he would expedite his plans. (please Lord, Amen)
wow, this is just plain depressing. I keep applying to jobs and keep getting rejected. I did have 1 really good interview last week, but I'm not sure that I'll get it because the lady kept saying how over-qualified I was and that it would be a step backwards for me. I'm hoping and praying that I made myself clear on the fact that as long as I'm busy working I'm happy.
If anyone out there needs a competent, mature, hard working person to join your team. I'm your person. I specialized in graphic and web design, but also have executive/administrative assistant as well as project management experience.
Hey Sherry,
Thanks for the support I truly appreciate it. At the end of the day I don't feel as if I am whipped if I have the love of my lady.
Glad you enjoy the show!
Amen! You got it!
