Thanks all.
My name (MilitaryMech) is just one I've hung onto for years on the net. I've been out of the Marines for 8yrs. I went back to school and became a RN. I've been a nurse going in six years and have been specializing in Hemodialysis (kidney replacement therapy) for four years.
I'm damn good at what I do. My bosses never want to fire me, they are forced to because either a) my mouth runs away with itself (it's not my fault!!! BS!!!) or b) I do something stupid in public like kick a door or make a bad joke about kicking a co-worker in the shins (if you saw it, you would know there was no threat meant or intended).
I just have the minimum control over my temper when I'm stressed. I'm now a full time single dad (the ex ran off with a doctor), my mom lives with me (my house, my mortgage) and I'm damn near $40k in debt from the divorce and my school loans.
Before I lost my job I was doing so well!!!! I had knocked about $10k off my debt in the last year. I had gotten my bills organized and I was about to start having insurance again.
I JUST refinanced my house and if need be I could rent it out for a profit. I'm getting unemployment (for now anyways) and it COULD be worse.
I'm really pissed that I'm having to look for jobs that aren't in Nursing! I'm a NURSE! This I more than what I do! It's who I am! I care for people. I fix their problems and make them better! Now I'm looking at having to sell stuff at BestBuy :-/
Sorry, I'm just angry at myself
