*Sigh*... Got an email today from ProRail, remember, I applied for a job there. Well 'the job was recently filled in' and they would keep me informed about any other jobs that fit my profile in the future. Yeah, great. I bet they say that to all appliants :p
But I have to stay positive right? I know my sweetheart has taken all my bad Karma for October and November (I told him not to do that, I think that's just dangerous!) so probably this was Karma's way to tell me there are better jobs around for me and I have a date with the job hunter of WerkCenter on Monday so all is good really?
Darling told me today he thought the title 'job hunter' was funny, that it usually applies to the people that are looking for jobs. Well, I do partially agree with him, I call myself a job hunter too, but this person professionally hunts for jobs for people like me (idiots that can't find a job by themselves :p). Oh well, I do have some excuses, like my age (like it or not I AM middle-aged :p) and the bad economy at the moment. And the fact I don't have any experience in the field I am trying for doesn't really help either of course.
But, I am flexible. At the moment I'd go for any job really, as long as it pays at least minimum wage (which happens to be twice as much as I am getting from Social Services!). I'd even go back in the hotel/restaurant world...
Guess I should try very hard to make the most of my 'no bad Karma days.' Haha, maybe I should even buy a lottery ticket ;) Who knows, I might even win a little something! I just hope it doesn't backfire on my darling...
I'll just go on job hunting for now...and for all of you: have a great day!
Go get em ^^
ReplyDeleteGod, do I empathize with you, Anna. I have been out of work off and on 4 times since 2006, this last time about 18 months. I've cashed in all 401ks, life insurance and sold almost all of my beloved jewelry (lol) but have finally come to the point where I can't keep up with my mortage, so I'm going to move in with my mom for the time being, cutting back on a lot of bills so I can pay the mortgage, fix up my place and reluctantly put my condo on the market. Breaks my heart, I don't hesitate to tell you. I'm single, worked my whole life to finally buy my own place 7 years ago and this rotten economy, my being "over-qualified"?? (aka over-paid, I think), 49 yrs old adds to everything. Mostly the rotten economy. I know how depressing it is. I just keep praying that it's going to get better & making the best of my present situation. No money but lots of free time lol.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to many more blogs from you in the future!
@BethE509: Gosh do I feel privileged now :( I have been out of work since May and I am getting so much help from Social Services (they just don't wanna pay me ;) )! Don't have a house of my own yet, hardly any bills to pay...
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, we're 'old' and 'over-qualified'!! That does mean we have tons more life experience than the kids right out of school you know... ;)
I just refuse to let it get me down! Was I in your place...I might just get a tad depressed :(
Wishing you all the best dear, and a good job to your liking VERY soon!
Keep your chin up and your head high Anna. Things will turn around for you soon. You got too many people praying for you and cheering for you for them not to. ***HUGS***
