A post here, a post there...

...that's the best I can do these days. Thank God 12 of 12 is just around the corner or else the posts would be even fewer. I know I've talked about how flat I've been well now my flat has a dip in it. I really didn't think I could feel so down. This whole looking for work and being rejected left right and center has done a job on me. The other day I got all dressed up best suit, tie and all to go down to an interview that I got after I applied just that morning and they called me like two hours after I applied. I thought this must be a good sign. No more than ten minutes after I got there they had me filling out employment forms telling me how great I was and that all I had to do was have a quick ten minute interview with the supervisor and I basically had the job. Well after I finished the paper work and while I was waiting for the HR person to come back and tell me what time my interview would be, I read the job description they had given me. At the bottom of the second page I see under Essential Criteria "Current drivers license". so I asked to the HR person when she came back '"just how essential is the license?" and she said she would go check. So, off she waddled (don't ask) and she waddled back a few minutes later. Guess what? It seems that you need a drivers license for a desk job. Who f'ing knew??? I mean WTF???

So anyway, I've just about had it. I know that I'm not the only one struggling to find work but JHC seven months and over seventy applications later and I've got jack all. Nothing, Nada, zilch!!! I just don't know what to do. I guess I have to keep trying what other choice do I have. As I mentioned before I'm no longer getting assistance from the government so the small little amount of money is gone but it's not really just about the money. I mean we're not starving and we won't lose the house or anything. Thank God (or whoever) we paid the house off a while back when we sold another property that we owned and the first thing we did was pay off the mortgage on this place so just in case something like this happened and we wouldn't have to worry about the bank foreclosing. I know I shouldn't be whinging because I don't have to worry about those things but it's not just that it's personal. This whole thing is soul destroying. I'm losing all self worth and confidence. Anyway, enough about this. I'll leave it at that. I'll try to post when I can and as I said 12 of 12 will definitely happen. It's one of the few things I have to look forward to. I apologies for being such a Debbie Downer, but thanks for reading and letting me vent. Until next time take care and Enjoy...

Aww man, TJ, I wish I had some good advice to give you. It's so cliche to say 'hang in there'.

Just know that you can lean on us, that's what we're here for.

I am in the midst of the whirlwind with you. I know it's hard, and I'm not gonna follow that with a "but." Just know that I feel your pain and frustration.
