rmcdra AniMajor I feel I'm no good as this job hunting thing, and I'm tired of looking and tired of being constantly told that I need to look and tired of feeling stuck. It sucks. I just got out of it myself. You could use this time for self reflection or picking up a new hobby/skill. Yeah, I've done that. Now I'm ready to actually get an apartment and a job that doesn't decide my hours based on how well I hard sell a single product to customers.

It's tough finding a job right now. If you would like I can keep you in my prayers?

Gah, you're such an a*****e sometimes, and I can't even get mad because I know bloody well that it's completely unintentional, because it just doesn't even occur to you that you're sending mixed signals. Or making me turn several unattractive shades of green by asking me for advice about a girl who crawled in your lap and kissed you as a way to tell you she's interested. I know you're bad with women, but seriously. stare
And now you're being all sweet and comforting when I'm feeling down, even though you're part of the reason. ARGH.

AniMajor I feel I'm no good as this job hunting thing, and I'm tired of looking and tired of being constantly told that I need to look and tired of feeling stuck. The stupidity of my situation.. Since I graduated, I have not had a job. I've had.. maybe, 5 interviews. I've tried the calling and harassing and I've tried the crappiest jobs I'd never want. But I honestly think that the last job I had might be being used against me. I was fired.. for not walking back and forth quickly enough. (seriously, the manager hated me, probably the only reason he could find to get rid of me) crying So I haven't had a job since June 2008. And maybe even that now is being held against me. AND I JUST WANT OUT OF THE HOUSE. I'd volunteer, but that wouldn't work out at all. I need a job so I can get a car so I can go to work. No car, no being able to volunteer either..

I don't know anything about your area or what have you, but some volunteer organizations are happy to car pool. It couldn't hurt to call and find out, anyway. Further, you'd be surprised how often job opportunities can grow out of volunteer activity, and if you prove yourself useful you could even use that as a reference to beef up your resume.

No car, no being able to volunteer either.. Yeah, I've been out of school since December 2007, and I applied to tons and tons of jobs before I graduated and went to career fairs, and never even got an interview. The only interview I did get was for the job I'm working now, which is minimum wage. As silly as it sounds, I wish there was some way to start a company or something that I could fill with people I know who are in the same situation as me and at least get everyone enough money to live on. rmcdra All I can say is hang in there. It's tough finding a job right now. If you would like I can keep you in my prayers? Usually I'd say no, but that sounds really nice. Thank you.

Further, you'd be surprised how often job opportunities can grow out of volunteer activity, and if you prove yourself useful you could even use that as a reference to beef up your resume. I was aware of the possibility of volunteering leading to a job, or at least a better resume.. was not aware of volunteer car pooling. Will definitely have to look into that! 3nodding Thanks for the idea.

But if I ever think of something that could use a wide range of talents and make money, I'd do it, and I'd have people interested in helping me do it.

I'm not 150 percent sure, but i'm 99 percent sure that one of my patient's family members stole my credit and debit cards. I know it was stolen because someone's been making purchases today that I didn't approve. Thankfully, Bank of America notified me about the strange activity on my cards, and so they're both cancelled and I won't be held liable for the purchases. Praise God. Oh praise God.
But still I feel hurt. Like I've been cheated.
I took care of this person's dying mother. This woman patient of mine whom all the other aides would just clean and watch tv the rest of the time, I'd sit and talk with her, even though she couuldn't respond. I'd almost always arrive early. When the TV didn't work, I sang to her what few songs I could, to give her some comforting noise (I hope my voice is comforting.)
And this person stole from me.
I just don't understand.
If it had been a stranger, I'd still be broke up a little, but I'd get it. I'm a nobody, and hell, they may need the money.
But this person I trusted, this person I knew.
People can really suck sometiems.

Quote: rmcdra, you clearly enjoy the art of debating.

I recommend 2 Timothy 2 for some good advice about this.

I recommend 2 Timothy 2 for some good advice about this. I'd say that the skill of debating is a good tool, but like anything, it can be unhealthy in large or obsessive doses. I'd say we should maintain our focus on the importance of why we debate, and hold that above meaningless ones. When we find ourselves debating others merely for the sake of debating, or being petty, that's when we should re-examine ourselves.
