Sorry in advance, i know everyone who knows me on this bored is sick to death of my vents, but i really have no one else. LAtely I have been feeling very discouraged, I think it;s mainly becaus of my lack of employment. Not working makes me feel lazy. I just don't know why nobody wants to hire me. I have been following all the tips I recieved and really putting forth an effort. I feel really bad becauseI look back at the jobs I had amd really wish that I knew hen what I know now. I had two wonderful job oppurtuities and scrwed them both up. I had a nice job at an eye doctors office and a job at a nursing home that i really loved, but I go stressed one day from a long week at school and decided no to go in. I talked to my DON and she made me think my leaving was ok, but i guess since i was still in my "90 days" they didnt value me. I know it wasnt long ago, but I really wish I had the maturity and knowledge that i aquired lately back then. I really took my oppourunities for granted. I dont know why i was the way i was a couple of months back, it may have been some kind of "teen crisis". my mom says that i made those mistakes because i was burned out from working and going to school since age 14, and that now that i am in college and its a little more stressful. i agreed but i dont know. i want to work in my feild and use the training, knowlede, and desire that i have to learn and make a difference in somebodies day if not life. i just wish i could get this across to employers. i can even say that acording to my rap sheet with jobs that i dont deserve and good job, but i am so much more than a resume and an application, it does not represent me now because of the mistakes i have made in the past. i am still applying and working hard and hopefully something will turn out. well thanks so much for listening again. i really dont know what i'd do if i didnt have you all to vent to. and your advice is always honest and helpful. thanks again

To be human is to make mistakes. To be adult is to learn from those mistakes and move on.
Insanity is repeating those same mistakes and expecting different results.
I can't tell you the multitude of mistakes I've made in the folly of my youth. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger there.
Keep you head up, keep on keeping on. Live and learn.
Best wishes.
(No need to apologize for venting. I do more than my fair share of that here too.)
awww, thanks tweety!
