heavy on my mind is my employment situation, or lack thereof.
Been a year since I was laid off... and but for the graces of an angel watching over me, and unemployment- we've been ok,
I pound the pavement, I hit the internet, I hit Job Services through the unemployment office- and there's still nothing there...

on my mind is what the hell is gonna happen when I exhaust my benefits?

Why is it that an intelligent woman, who used to be a General Manager for a 200+ room hotel and been in that profession for 20+ years,
cannot even get a job offer from even a nationally known fast food chain, a 5star hotel in Paris, or anything in between???
heavy on my mind.... yeah.

You have to understand that it's not you. It's all over the country. I had a career, a life. I have 30 plus years in advertising, design and radio and television and I can't even get a full time job as designer with copywriting and media experience. I free-lance and it's not enough.
I lost my career and life from a trauma. I'm on disability and I'm lucky compared to the 14 million out of work. One of my best friends is also my representative payee..an astute businesswoman who tells me this all the time. All you can do is keep trying, or maybe be more inventive on how and what you present, or in what you're looking for. I don't have the answers. But it's not you, trust me.

My life faded from 18 years of keeping trauma supressed until it nearly killed me. I'm going through facing it all over and there's no guarantee that I will ever recoup my losses, and there are many. Good luck and don't be disheartened. You're among millions...even among many executives who've lost everything. Look up the story about the exec who made a couple of hundred-thou a year and now works behind the counter at Starbucks. The country is so fucked up and the plight is reality.

In the future, if you should need to edit the title to a post, go to edit, then go advanced, and then edit your title. You only get 30 minutes to edit posts.

A Funeral...
Tomorrow I will be riding along with my dad as we escort a young man to his final resting place...
We have just been informed that West Borough Baptist Church is sending protesters... Please send angels to watch over us as we make this journey to Honor one of our Fallen Soldiers... We have chosen to go ahead and ride the motorcycles even though the weather forecast is calling for snow up to 6 inches if not more as we climb higher in elevation... I am taking my camera with me... I have included the link to the young mans home coming which I was told was a truly awe inspiring...

Yesterday one of my friends, her son and I were walking though a Wal Mart in Sherwood when a friend of hers stopped her to say hi. Anyhow, her friend is in charge of personnel there and told me if I put my app in for her store and then call her to let her know, I could work there in automotive. Which would put me in my field of expertise. The only down side is that this Wal Mart is a 35 minute ride on a desolate road. I never asked the woman what the pay was, but decided if I don't find something by weeks end, I'm going to have to take what she offered because I really need to start earning money.

Now we're down to the wire. They said last Monday that they hoped to have all the interviews done last week and would start making decisions the beginning of this week and contact us later in the week. So now we start into 'later in the week'. Patience, patience, patience....man I REALLY want this job...and not just for the money.

Some relief from back pain today a co worker gave my back a work over. She said that my shoulder area felt really hard and tense. So, she helped. At least I am not in tears right now. Even though it still hurts a little

A HUGE, exciting, positive opportunity tomorrow.... Actually, 3 opportunities, but one of them is my favorite...the other 2 are just fall-backs in case the first doesn't work out. I've been going stir crazy with worry lately (what's new? some say that's my personality and I worry too much!); but after speaking to someone very sweet today, my confidence and excitement has returned.

When one door closes....another one opens....

Keeping my fingers crossed...and bet-chya I don't get any sleep tonight because of excitement!!

Time to shine up my "Kick Ass Boots" for tomorrow!

bigbutchmistie 11-17-2010 08:27 PM
