Clover is such a little rascal. You are such a good "pet mom!"<br /><br />Just keep hanging in there with your job hunt. I can't imagine how hard it is :( You've been very proactive, though, to find temp jobs and attend bartending school to build your skills, and it sounds like you network at dog events, so at least you're not sitting around blaming the HR people--you're actually taking steps to improve your situation. That is really commendable because I know it is very challenging to stay productive and proactive when you feel rejection a lot.

Living it, handling it without slipping and writing about it. And at the same time I hope you have someone really close that is helping (well someone human and speaking:)) and who can hear your "rants" and hug you. <br /><br />I hope this new week will bring something good, better, best into your life, because you definitely deserve it so much! And I hope your mum will recover soon. Keep going Tiptoe, your endurance is admirable and keep taking care and resting as well. <br /><br />Aargh all I've written now is somehow empty-sounding and I wish I could go and make the fate/HR people open their eyes and give you the opportunity you deserve. xxolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869273750449101713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-59003037744830852442011-08-14T18:18:17.048-04:002011-08-14T18:18:17.048-04:00I'm so sorry things are frustrating right now....I'm so sorry things are frustrating right now. I can't even imagine how stressful the job situation must be, but it sounds like you are doing all the right things and you never know when unexpected opportunities may pop up.<br /><br />I am so inspired by how you are moving forward and pushing the ED thoughts aside. You have so much going for you and a slip would only take you backwards. Just imagine how ill-equipped you would be to handle everything if your health were in jeopardy. Good luck and things WILL turn around!Kayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637653451031426942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-52515702439519594672011-08-14T17:57:46.383-04:002011-08-14T17:57:46.383-04:00Goodness; what a bit you've been through in a ...Goodness; what a bit you've been through in a week! It seems to happen that way doesn't it? (I do hope you have a reprieve from the onslaught of it all.)<br /><br />When I think "ranting"; I actually believe this is a way to <i>release</i> what has gathered that simply needs a space of acknowledgement and maybe even a letting go. You do not appear whiny or depressed by any means. Simply REAL. What you are experiencing is the truth for you and sharing about it isn't so much a rant as it is what is. (Hope that makes sense.)<br /><br />Even though the idea of reverting to the eating disorder aspects has crossed your mind; everything involved; you've come out able to say that you've had a victory. And to this I say <b>CHEERS!</b> It's great to be able to acknowledge this and realize the strides you've taken.<br /><br />I have the mentality that <i>what is given to me, I <b>should</b> be able to handle</i>. Yet, that enduring does not have to be alone. And I hope that YOU will reach out if you do need support. You (we) deserve it. <br /><br />I hope that what comes in the days ahead will yield a positive feel for you and you are able to go about simply being with some ease.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing what you do, because for me (and I'm sure others) finding something in common helps for one to feel less alone.<br /><br />From a standpoint of someone knowing a bit about electronics...if it was just the cord; that can be replaced. It shouldn't effect the memory, hard drive etc. of your netbook. <br /><br />Be well and take care of you!Sensory Overloadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799931625992110958noreply@blogger.com
