I am having kind of a hard day today. I think it started when the woman I interviewed with yesterday swore up and down she was going to call that night to let me know her decision. By 10:00 pm no call. I am not necessarily mad at her, things happen, I understand that. I will probably give her a call tonight. It was just such a promising position and I am thoroughly tired of being unemployed.
This morning I spent 45 minutes looking for my car keys. I am not kidding. 45 minutes no car keys. Ok, so what, its a nice day, I figured I could walk James down to daycare, save gas, get exercise, love the environment. Only the tire on his stroller was as flat as could be, and after ten minutes I realized that my air pump was not just slightly broken, but completely useless, and his other stroller was locked. in. the. car. FINE! I didn't really need to go anywhere today. I'm not afraid to stay at home with James. (Sometimes I am, but not always.) So I called his sitter and informed her no car keys, no stroller, staying home, unless said keys show up in the next half an hour. 20 minutes later, whilst I was upstairs cruising the internet for more job possibilities, James suddenly showed up in the hallway with my car keys in hand, and attempted to insert them into the electrical outlet. Don't think I hadn't asked him several times already where they were. I knew he was the last one who had them.
James went off to daycare, and I went off to the hardware store to make key copies and buy more electrical outlet plugs. I was feeling just a little frazzled when I came home and Jay called. Jay, as you could probably tell I was pissed off by the events of that morning and my overall unemployed state. I wanted to yell at someone, lucky you. I didn't yell, and I only acted a little bit immature thank you very much.
I spent some time killing fleas on the cats. Killing things can be very satisfying when one is mad. Then I went to wait by the phone because I had an appointment from Western Government College to call at 1:00 about their teacher certification program. I surfed the internet for jobs, and waited. I played around with Pandora Radio and waited. 1:10 came and went, no call. I wondered if WGU recruiters like to be fashionably ten minutes late for their phone calls. 1:20, no call. I went to my email to double check the appointment. It was for Wednesday, and it just so happens that today is Tuesday. I AM LOSIN' MY FREAKIN' MIND TODAY.
But seriously folks, could I just have a job... please?

Wow! I could really feel your wrath. I am glad I wasn't talking to you. :)
I thought you had a job. Hmmm I guess I need to call you.
I lose my keys a lot and thats without a little child to steal them so Im sure yours are even harder to find! I wish you best of luck in your job search. Im searching too but not as franticallty because i still have a job, I just want out of it.
ok, so just to clarify, I do have a job tutoring two hours a day. It hasn't started yet, (two more weeks) and I am currently searching for a day/morning job in addition to this. I am just tired of the rejection
Maybe you should call Matt to vent when you're at home and frustrated, he's been out of a job for over a year now. Ugh.
