Welll today is another job hunting day. So far things are looking good. Also there is a company that is interested in me working at home online. I know all about scams and things like this, but I've had 3 emails from them, and not one has asked me for money. So, so far so good on that one. I just know I'm going to get a new job. A better paying job. I'm ready to make some more money. ALOT MORE MONEY! MEEEHHHH

Well, today was a pretty good day again! I had my 2 job interviews. I think the one went really well. The other I'm not to sure.
I walked into the room and they were friendly enough. They started telling me about the position and the duties, pay, benefits, etc. Then they asked me if I had any questions for them. I didn't really. I mean they had just told me everything and more. So I started to tell them about myself. I just said why I should get the job. What makes me a good candidate. I really really! really! want this job. It doesn't pay much more than my old one. The work just seems really great. Things I wanted to get into but never have. So I'm hoping that the interview went well as they really didn't seem to want to ask me anything. So I don't know if their minds were already made up.. and they were just going through the motions. Or if they knew that they were going to hire me. They also told me and this is another reason why I kinda got thrown off. . . The one person (branch manager) said that they should know by the end of the day. Then the girl that I would be replacing said immediatly after that they should call between Christmas and New Years and that either way I would be getting a call. So I think she didn't like me. It's such a disadvantage to be young. I was speaking to my friend today and she told me that it makes more sense for a company to be hiring younger employees, for the general reason that they are more flexible. Older people can be set in there ways and there's always going to be an issue if the superior is younger than them. I don't know I think I've made my mistakes in the past and it is going to take a while to repair them. I guess we are all in this life business for the long haul. What can I do? Just gotta roll with it.

10 more days until Christmas. I wonder what I've gotten for Christmas!
Well today has been an alright day. I've had bad neck pains for the last 2 days. Definatly not fun, but the pain today is minimal compared to what it was. Which is great. It means I'm not going to die! i yi yi, I must be becoming a hyporcondriac? (<-- spelling). the doctor gave me some pain meds, and a note for massage therapy. This is great! I doubt I'll take the meds though, because I hate feeling drowsy, but just incase it gets worse :) Well world I got to more job interviews tomorrow. I applied for a job to work from home and they sent me an email today to. I feel like my luck is changing! It's turning out to be a pretty good day. My besty is coming to work at 7:30 so we will get to kinda work together for awhile, that's always fun. Wow 2 interviews tomorrow. Lets hope I nail em! What a good day. One is for a fire prevention company and another for a grain company. Gotta do my research tonight so I can dazzle em tomorrow. Wish me luck world!

answer to the why
I have come to terms, that it's my fault. I've accepted this. I'm going to try and work harder to becoming more responsible. With the previous blog I wanted to know why I just couldn't be happy. Well today being another day of regret have come to the terms that it's my fault.
I forgot to hand in my SIN number and a blank check to my new temporary job, and so i didn't get paid today. My husband is going to be soo happy with me. So this is my fault.
I got a phone call today advising I didn't get the job, he must have talked to my old manager and she told him the truth. I can't be mad because I was the one who gave the truth. Even if its against the privacy act to discuss work habits, if I didn't give her the reasons for her reference I would not be in this position. So it's my fault.
Life is life, it's going to go on whether I want it too or not. So all I can do is just accept my past, and move on to creating a better future.
Don't worry world I'm going to be fine. Today's problems is tomorrow's solutions. I've just got to work at getting things done.
This is my answer to my martyr esque previous blogs.
Shape up or ship out. Life ain't waiting for anyone. Especially you!

Some more whys
Well I had my first interview today since being laid off. I hope it went well. With the old company, they said they wouldn't give out personal references and that any requests would have to go through Human Resources.. the person that interviewed me today said that he knew my old manager and would contact her. I'm in a wreck to see if they will hinder me from getting this job. I just don't feel as important as I used to. I mean the interview went so well and I could do this job easy! But whether I will get hired is another thing .. I know I will though.. I've just gotta stay positive for the sake of my future. Why is it so hard to be positive. You'd think it would be so easy to just think good thoughts. Is this a chemical imbalance that I have.. or a low self esteem. I used to be so positive until this layoff happened. Now I just worry all the time over EVERYTHING! I feel inept. Its such a struggle to remain positive in these times and I feel like I'm losing a big part of what makes me ... me. I suppose if people talk to me about their issues, I always look for the positive so I'm never negative for their sake. . . but why not my own. Maybe I am just focusing on making sure everyone else is happy that I can't convince myself. . . but why should I have to convince myself. . . I hope to see the old me.. I want to stop being so grumpy and down in the dumps... I guess the only person who can do this is me! So I will. I will be back to normal by the new year! I promise myself. It shouldn't be hard. just got to change the way I think. I'm going to do it world!

Why oh why.
Recently I was let go from my job. Why? Is my main concern. The paper they gave to terminate me said without cause. Should I have taken them to the labour board? Too late now as they made me sign a document within 5 days to get my severence.. So I did. In these times one needs money. With the holidays coming and all. So now I'm left biting scraps off of the jobless world. I found a job answering phones for a call center.. what a treat this is. I get paid minimum wage.. which I can understand why, I've definatly perfected my bubble shooter game.. . . I take an average of 12 calls a day, work shitty hours, and put up with people that are far from intelligent. They too don't take alot of calls and spend alot of their time shooting the shit with eachother. Believe me it's all crap that they talk about.. One girl claims to know EVERYTHING! the other whines about a man that dumped her 4 years ago... She even has a new boyfriend. People complain about taking in calls that they feel they are over qualified for... Buddy! We are all overqualified for this job.. we have opposable thumbs... JEEZ! Oh well this is life right.. I'm not the only one out here feeling sorry for myself.
I keep telling myself it could be worse... but I'm running out of things that could make this worse. .. . any ideas on what could be worse than
Losing your job a month before Christmas, then taking an almost $6.00 pay cut. Having to work New year's, only got a GED, just got married in September and my husband keeps saying he wants to go back to school so he can get a real job.. but won't because " I don't like school". Your rent is getting jacked up another 180 bucks in January... for a one bedroom SHACK! That you can't even put a Christmas tree up in without having to put your front door out of service until the tree comes dow. Gain so much weight that your new wedding rings don't fit... Your work with the examples given above..
I'm sure there's more, I'm just getting to bored of complaining... hopefully something good will come my way to get me out of my funk... does anyone have any ideas?
