I'm sooo preparing myself that I started documenting everything I do here, cuz I know if I give my notice that is what my boss will want me to do.

Oh Fantastic !!!! I'm still rooting for ya.

Still hoping all goes well. I didn't get the Insurance job, but I've got another interview today, and one tomorrow. The one today is as an admin assistant for a real estate company, and the other on is a greater/front desk at the hotel right across the street from my house.

I just hope I get a job somehow/soon.

That's GREAT NEWS!!!! Don't forget to leave off a few things on your job duties and make it easy for that witch you work for...Let her figure some of it out...after all she should know

Sorry the insurance job didn't work out for you...I'm a believer that things happen for a reason, something better is in store for you!!

HANG IN THERE, I hope something comes from your two interviews today...GOOD LUCK

oohhh good luck! Ive interviewed and applied to many many jobs over the last almost 2 years. I think the job that I think I got now is a perfect fit for me and almost like i didn't get the others because this was meant to be. So don't get too discouraged and know that the PERFECT job for you will come along and you'll be so glad you didn't just take something to take it.

LMAO!!!! Ya know I would do that... but she knows everything we all anyways, shes controlling like that!

I have such mixed feelings about her, that in itself is stressful! I think on a personal level she is a GREAT person. She is thoughtful and goes out of her way for people. She always gets cards for people here and has us sign them to mail off, like when a family member dies. She baked me a homemade chocolate cake and decorated it with my school's logo when I graduated from college last year because she heard me say all I wanted was a homemade chocolate cake! AND she took up a collection and got me a $50 gift card for the cruise we went on the week after I graduated. These are just a couple of the super nice things she does for people just because.

But then there is another side of her... controlling, moody, micromanager.

It's really hard when shes always up and down. We call her Sybil (from that movie) because it does seem like she has 14 different personalities.

I feel SOOO guilty! I am part of some big project going on here. The woman who is doing the installation from the vendor is coming out on the week I am supposed to have off for furlough (unpaid time off) May 23-28. My boss is saying that we can't do it that week bc Im off and I finally said I'd 'rearrange' my furlough time and be here. Honestly I did it because I don't want them to arrange her visit around my schedule when its possible I might not even be here for it.
This waiting is really hard! We always have 1,000,000 projects going on and we are launching like 5 new things in may. I feel guilty about leaving in the middle (if I do) but honestly it's always like this, there is NEVER a good time to give your notice. You just need to do it.

[celstu1]

I still have NO official word! Today is 2 weeks since the interview! I'm really ready to pull my hair out! Each day that goes by is another 2 weeks before I get to leave my current job!!!!!

[Patti]

That's so frustrating. When I was a hiring manager we always got back to the candidate within a week or less. I hope you hear soon.

[celstu1]

O-M-G!!!!!!!

I got the job, but I didn't get it (yet anyways)

The company had a reorganization last week, laid of 45 people from all the departments, and are hiring 45 people for 1 specific dept across all offices. They put any positions that were open and not related to those 45 positions on hold. I guess the manager who interviewed me wants me in there and he is trying to get my position off of hold so he can hire me at least. Might not happen for up to 2 months!

I'm supposed to call on thursday for an update.

Please all please send good vibes. I can't seem to catch a break and I REALLY need this job for my mental state of health at this point! aaaahhhhhhh

[Patti]

Oh that's frustrating. Hope you get good news on Thursday.

[celstu1]

Thanks Patti! I feel like just crying today! This is just a huge blow to me. I guess that is what happens when you get your hopes up. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up so much. I'm so disappointed. I hate to be such a downer, but seriously nothing EVER seems to be 'easy' for me. Everything in my life is such a struggle, fight and claw my way through each battle, I usually come out ahead but I'm more and more beat down and scarred up after each success. I just wonder if I'll EVER get a break somehow.

[Lil Sis]

you got a break.. you have all of us sending the best of thoughts and wishes.
Please hang in there, keep looking for jobs and it will work out. It is not over yet....

Good luck

[deonk1]

Still routing for you! I hope you get a job there. I know what it's like to be in a job that is just bad for your mental health and that was only a short term job, I can only imagine what it's like being at a place like that for a long time. It'll all work out.... hang in there.
