T_T Aw man, I don't even know what to say other than I'll pray for you too. Until now, I didn't understand how hard it was to get a job. I'm such a kid, I just figured I'd fill out 5 or 6 apps and be done with it. I mean, SOMEBODY has to call me. I'll fill out another 6 if I have to. I figure, if you wanna work, you WILL find a job. It might not be the one you want, but the money's just as green, I say. DAMN, this stuff makes you stone cold mercenary, man! Throw in a couple "whatevers" and a "not my problems" and I could get my own game.
Posted by J00kst3r at February 27, 2006 02:45 AMI know it sucks to lose your job and that looking for a new job is shitty too. It's certainly no fun.
But try to keep things in perspective when you start to worry.
You aren't going to end up homeless. You don't have to worry about a lot of bills or groceries, so you know you and your son will be ok.
No one. Absolutely NO ONE blames you for getting laid off. It happens to the best of people. And it's happened to a lot of people in our family. No one blames you or thinks less of you.
You suspect your former manager is saying nasty things about you, they treated you shitty, didn't appreciate you, and offered you no stability in return for your hard work. So why exactly are you lamenting not moving out of your stable living conditions to live in your car just for the opportunity to work for them again?
I know it's hard to see the positive side of things when you feel lousy, but when things are bad try to take a moment to think about how they aren't bad. And what you've learned or gained from this experience.
Something will come along. Hang in there.
Yeah, thanks Sarah. I know. It sucks though...but not much I can do about it right now.
