QLC part deux

[J-girl]

Okay so when I thought I was finally getting out of the hole- I fall right back in.

So I applied to Grad Schools, thinking I had my true calling. I have heard from one- a reject but I am going to the interview next week. And the other two havent decided as yet. But knowing my luck I am not getting my hopes that high.

Second, I found out like half an hour ago- that I might be losing my job. So I told myself "calm down you can always find another job". And I do have money saved up and stuff but I have no stability in life. And if I lose my job, I am not sure what the hell am I going to do. Well I know I'll sit at home but getting back into that job market is so damn tough. It seems like the normal applying procedures never work and all one has to do is network and find a job.

And now I just wake up every damn morning thinking what the hell is the point of all this crap. I am not sure if I am coming or going.

Relationships barely interest me. Its the same old crap. I fI like the guy he doesnt like, if he likes me I dont like him. If we both like each other- he lives 6 hours away or will be moving there next week.

Thats all. Thanks for reading.

Hi J-Girl,

I can totally relate to what you're going through. It's like being stuck in a holding pattern. The relationship thing, totally me. It's like I have temporarily given up, I am just not interested in the whole dating process right now. The job thing, ya, I am looking for a new job. I worry all the time that my position will be cut, and temped out. It's just going through the motions from day to day for me. Same shit, different day. I hope things look up for you, I am sure they will.

<HUGZ> You'll pull through! Don't become too pessimisstic, oppurtunities can come when you least expect them.

Things will turn around for you, you know that. PM me if ya feel like venting, woman.

Thanks everyone :)

I try not to be so pessimistic- but its just hard to do so when it feels like you are constantly going against the tide. Where the only constant thing in life is the 7:40 am commute in the morning.

Aww, I'm sorry things feel so shitty J-Girl. I was trying to come up with more to offer you but I'm hitting a brainfart at the moment. Hopefully, your job wil stay and I'm sure you will get into one of those grad programs. Screw dating right now, that's just a whole other hassle on top of everything else.

(((((hugs anyway))))))))

Yeah, I know. Totally hopeless! :googly:

(((J-girl))) I know this is a hard time for you and it's difficult to stay focused when things seem to be going wrong. But try to hone in on really preparing well for that interview you've been given. It's a chance to change things so put your best foot forward.

I can sympathize with things feeling unstable in life. That's how my life has been for a number of years - through college up until last Fall. I had no idea where I was going. I just had to keep working hard and it eventually all fell into place - at least career-wise (social life is another story).

Relationships are very difficult to get started. I have the same problem that you describe. I say just try to concentrate on yourself (your career, your job) first and then other things will work themselves out. Feel free to email.

[J-girl]

Yeah thats what I am going to do. Really focus on the interview.

My first instinct when I heard about the job situation was - call a head hunter, start applying for jobs blah blah blah. But now I am thinking just to say fuck it- take a vacation in the summer and come back and apply and for the time being focus on the interview. I am just a constant worrier. Luckily I have a low work load this week so I can do that.

All last week- I was actually even telling myself, I have started to not like this workplace. Not because of the people but just its getting a little stagnant.

And for the meantime, I am also going to start networking more agressively which I really really suck at.

I can never be thankful enough of QLC.com, imagine if they had a QLC.ca... j/k :p

(((J-girl))) Job and dating situations are both difficult. Best wishes in both, as well as with grad school. I'm waffling between finishing grad school part time, or going full time from 2007 - 2009.
