I'm not feeling well today. I am feeling rather frustrated with myself. I don't know why I am such a screw up. I've made some bad decisions that are coming back to bite me in the you know where. I guess you could say I hate working or at least most of the jobs I've had. The few jobs that I actually liked, well I got laid off from them cause the companies moved. One was Doubleday books, I was doing data entry work, I got some nice perks working for them. One big one was the monthly book/merchandise sale offered to the workers. We got a chance to buy books and merchandise for half or more than half the price the members got them for. Nice building, work hours and nothing but shade in the parking lot (plenty of spaces to park too) but they relocated to Indianapolis. I got a job at a library circulation desk. (back when you could talk to someone about a job and not have to go through an obstacle course like now) I left that job because of family issues, having to move away.
I have moments when I am happy, then moments I want to just go to sleep and not wake up. I just feel so lost. As most of you know I've said over and over how I hate working for Home Depot. The working conditions have gotten worse. Very unbearable. I feel frustrated after I received two rejection letters in my e mail. One from Barnes and Noble and the other from Walgreens. I doubt they even looked at my resumes. The way things work these days these companies will just send a form letter saying they looked at the resume, but have decided to go with other candidates.
I don't know where I belong anymore.

What's the most overrated scripted* tv show, in your opinion?*Scrpited, meaning a drama or comedy series - not reality shows, game shows, court shows, talk shows, variety shows, etc. (well, technically talk shows and variety shows often do have writers as well, but for this exercise we're just talking about shows that have both scripts and actors acting out those scripts so really the only show...
I understand how you feel been there and the important thing is this
Love yourself through this process-the process of finding employment.
You owe it to yourself to be kind and nurturing to yourself. When you apply for these positions know that you are already almost 99% in the door just
because you applied- you cannot control the companies response.You have
to stay in a positive happy mental because no matter what your circumstances
are it is ultimately you that decides to beat yourself up over things not going your way. We have all done this- we continue to do this - please take a few
minutes to say to yourself I am a beautiful caring person that cares about my well being and my future and although the results I so much deserve because I am worthy and beautiful are not happening fast enough I will be
gentle and kind with myself.(this is an act of self love instead of self sabotoge
Our normal reaction is to go into despair- when those emotions arise up in you just notice the emotion allow it to have its 1 minute to shine and then simply do not allow your self to act on it ( like let the emotion walk in your
head then tell it uh you have to go and pick back up with a healthy loving emotion loving yourself ,nurturing yourself,, go back online put in more applications, or take a moment to see if you want to entertain the thought
of switching your career path(something else may interest you but always
always be kind to yourself during these different processes in life that we must all go through and remember this forum is always here to give you that xtra support Big Hugs Bigger Hugs Warm Hugs
Is there someplace you can volunteer doing something you really like until you get a Yes, because I know you will. In the meantime, build up your contacts and skills while helping others - those you help will honestly appreciate your efforts and strengths, and it can be a great way to meet people and get your foot in the door.
Don't feel too bad... I got fired from Home Depot, if that makes you feel any better. They sent a secret shopper through my line and I missed some items by accident, and I called in sick a couple times on probation. So yeah, that sucked.... Stick through it and try and enjoy your time spent not as work as much as you can. Hugs <3
