Moving Forward


Angie just snuggled in for a nap in the potty and Kandi is taking a nap near by. They are silly! BTW, they are cleaner then cats! :) Okay okay, the picture doesn't show that they're neat, but they are clean. They're still getting used to the fact that I'm trying to get them to keep it neater. They're better then they were when I brought them home. Besides that area is only a quarter of their play area and rest is really clean. :)

Today is a better day. Meds help! The stress is still in place and I can look at my poor financial situation as well. All money (in checking + last 2 pay checks) comes to about $600.00. If I didn't have to spend half of that on the car, I'd have enough to pay my bills next month. Back on the job search and can finally apply for unemployment. A friend brought it to my attention that I was able to do so. However, it's up to my old job to allow it or block it; could take 6-8 weeks to see anything. Getting applications in and doing my best to land something new.

Everyone travel safe this week if you're going to grandma's house for turkey!

In Limbo Still, Gurrrrrrrr!

I'm really pissed. My desire to get on the books put me in the middle of a departmental tug-o-war and turned into, "you can't have her!" BS cost me so much more then just a job. It cost me a solid job that I could do for a couple of years and with some luck save some real cash as long as I was able to continue to live real cheap. I made some friends there, I was needed there, people where asking me questions on how to get stuff done right. I was able to run a machine almost all by myself and keep 6 people busy at 34 boxes a minute. Would I take a job over there now, no way; not after all the BS that is going on over there now.

It would be fabulous if something much better opens up for me after this. Really tired of being in limbo, especially at my age. There are people out there that are doing what they love at my age and I have no clue what my 'love' job is.

Tomorrow is another day and a good day to get my roommates used to a long car ride. The drive would do me good!

Friends

I'm finding out that I have some very cool friends and they think the world of me. There are people at the job I lost who are VERY upset that I'm gone and that makes me feel pretty good, to be missed & appreciated. Not to worry, I'm pulling a plan together to help me get back to work. I must say that it became real while I was picking up a few items from the store (like tp) that I was back to square one again.

Hope everyone has Happy Turkey Day Plans. I have a plan A & B in place, so not to worry about me. :D Friends

Update: Got news today that I was the lucky one who got out of the building.

Eggs in One Basket

Well, I've been struggling for the last 24 hours. In all my efforts to get on at my job in a permanent position, it seemed to have pissed off the lead enough for me to loose my temporary job all together and any hope of permanent job too. The job would have moved me to a different part of the building, but all I was trying to do was get on books with the company. I had my interview on thursday for the job and I shoved out the door on tuesday night. I received the call yesterday that my job had ended. I was caught so far off guard that yes I was crying. I have/had reachable goals that I could touch in a few more months and those where taken away from me. Taking a mental health day to figure out my next move and getting over the shock of the rug being pulled from me once again. I sure wish I knew what my true gift is where I can find my path and chase after it. I've tried so many things that I do enjoy and end up not making any money at them or only for a short time. There is a job industry I should be able to walk right into after doing it for 5 year, but I can't even get an interview in that industry. Is it frustrating, Yes!
