Earlier this week, I found out I didn’t get a job I had interviewed for. I had three total interviews, and the company even called to check my references. While I had no expectations to get this job, it would’ve been good experience and a full time salary. I’m still a bit disappointed.
What’s funny is that I never pictured my life like this. I’m a glorified housewife who works part-time. I never expected to not work full time; I never expected to be financially dependent on someone. But complaining isn’t going to change my situation. We still don’t know what Mac’ post-deployment assignment will be, so I’m stuck in job limbo.
Because of this, I’m going to attend a professional conference in October. It is quite expensive, but I’m hoping that this will result in a few job leads. I’m not going to complain about my job status anymore. It’s time for me to do something about it, instead. We ordered Chinese takeout last night, and these were my fortunes (of course I eat more than one cookie). They struck a note, and this is my motivation for the second part of this deployment.
Have y’all ever had a meaningful fortune from a fortune cookie?
Well that is a bummer for them to do that much and then not offer it to you. š Best wishes in finding something.
I love them both, but especially the first one! The only fortune I’ve ever felt resonate with me (and the only one I’ve ever kept) said, “Always remember where you are going, and never forget where you’ve been.”
That’s a bummer! š
I hope you’re able to find something! I can’t wait to go back to work, but I’m also nervous about being able to find so,etching that I’m qualified for after not working for so long.
If I’ve had a meaningful fortune cookie, I sure don’t remember it. My husband is a saint and let’s me eat all of the cookies haha. What a man I tell ya!
I know some friends had luck getting jobs working from home at sitter city.com. Maybe working from home could be the answer?
I know how you feel with the job status. I just wrote a post about my thoughts of being a stay at home mom, and a lot of it stems from never thinking this is how my life would end up. We just have to remember the to look at the positives and what we have gained!
