Feeling serious frustration today
| Tue, 03-01-2005 - 12:04pm |
i know i've sort of been MIA, i just haven't felt well physically or mentally. i look at some posts but rarely work up energy to reply. it's not that i don't care, i just don't know what to say that might be the slightest bit encouraging to someone else.
as you guys know, my surgeries are thursday. i wish they were today, i feel so awful i just want it over with so i can get well. today and tomorrow i should be doing things around the house to prepare for feeling even worse, but i simply can't make myself move that much. the kitchen is a wreck (i mean TRAIN WRECK), there is laundry to be done for DS and myself, and of course sweeping and picking up toys...i am hoping that the pressure of tomorrow being my *last* day will accomplish something.
i am very frustrated with that job i interviewed for. this is the second time i have been called in to this place. it's a career-type job, good pay with commission, paid training and certification. an office job with room to grow. i went through 4 interviews with them last time, in october, and was overlooked for some lady due to her experience. obviously she didn't work out, as they began advertising again in january. i called to remind them of my application and ask if they'd like me to come back in and do anymore paperwork, etc? basically just reminding them i exist! i read an entire book in one night to impress the *big guy*, took notes and everything to prove i did it...
anyway, i got called last week as a last minute thing and they wanted me to come in. i was home with a sick baby, so i had to get them to wait to the next day. i went on wednesday, sat there for over an hour waiting, then had my interview. it went so well the guy told me *it's a pretty positive thing, but we'll make it official friday*. WHAT WOULD YOU THINK THAT MEANT? he told me what an *amazing* candidate i was, i had all the right stuff, blah blah blah, then followed up with it being a *pretty positive thing*. and then what? NOTHING. no call on fridy, i called them monday, and no call YET. the receptionist said she thought he'd already let me know. i said no he hasn't, could you please have him call me? basically i didn't get the job, after all of this work and all of this hoping. when he calls to tell me so, i am going to ask that my application be shredded because i do not care to work for a company who treats people (even those it's rejecting) in such a manner.
i need to get around and walk down to the little store a block away, we are practically out of toilet paper, milk, and bread. the bank is right there, i can get some money with my card and do it - i just can't seem to MOVE! ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. am supposed to see my counselor today, but i can't get there because DH has my car (his truck is, again and always, not running).
anyway, thanks for reading and feeling my frustration today.
