WARNING: Trigger
I was drinking last night. For any of you have ever looked hard for a job and felt like every menial job that you applied for was like applying for a job at the damn FBI with their 5 zillion questions, then you'll know why I'm so frustrated!
And to make things worse, I kid you not, this young woman at Ulta did not know how to do a refund! WTF? So I just did an exchange instead. Also, this other older lady didn't know how to open up a vodka bottle. She was nice, don't get me wrong, but for those people to be hired over me makes me feel like a real loser.
I do everything right it seems like and I have only heard back from two places so far. Ugh! I did apply to three other places and even called one back and I got no call back! I need to rest now as I'm mentally and physically drained and hung over, ugh! I'll apply for a few more jobs soon.
Sorry to hear about your FIL. What a jerk! Your mother sounds awful! It's very nice of you to take care of her after what she did. Also, you're lucky that you have a supportive husband-  Mine works too, but we don't make enough to cover our expenses sometimes. Especially now with all that's been thrown at us all at once! |
My mother was born during The Depression. Kids went to work to bring home money to their parents to help pay the rent so they didn't get dispossessed. People just did whatever they could for money.
She's still of that mind set. I don't disagree with it. That kind of attitude and work ethic built very successful, wealthy people.
I've coddled my kids by telling them their only job is to succeed as students. But once they graduate, they are on their own. I got them this far, now they have to succeed by themselves. I told my son that he can go sell shoes with his Bachelor's degree in Psychology and English if he doesn't get into Grad school. I'll let him figure it out. Seriously, he'll learn to thrive on his own and get a fire in his belly.
