It’s been a year and 1 week since I had a job. I’ve been applying for jobs for well over that. I apply for jobs I know I’m qualified for, jobs I would rather not do, and jobs I’m sure I have no shot at, but it’s worth a try anyway. Rejection. Do you know how painful it is to get such calls like “Yes, I was looking over your resume, you have a lot of very good skills that we’ve been looking for, but unfortunately we decided to go with someone else.” or, “Yes, You have some very impressive skills, and your typing speed is VERY impressive! But unfortunately we feel that you are too qualified for this position” uh…. WHAT…. I’m… OVER qualified? I’m not asking to make top dollar…. I’ll start at the bottom here…. too… over….qualified….. I’m too good at what…. my typing speed? my customer service skills? The fact that I know how to turn on a computer? I can grin and offer a cup of coffee or a glass of water? Hmmm… Ok…… This is so discouraging.

I get rejected for RETAIL jobs too. You want to know how many times I’ve applied at Walmart, Target, Big Lots, Walgreens, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Gas stations, convenience stores, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Sam’s Club, mom and pop type stores….

I just……………………………. ugh.

A non-dark theme! Perhaps one I can work on to make my own. It’s a start, right? Right!
I hope you all had a nice Easter. I’ve not had a single bit of candy. *shock*

That’s all. Short and simple.

1. Receiving surprises in the mail. Especially when you thought the surprises were delivered to the wrong mailbox.
2. Surprise dinners are awesome too.
3. Ghirardelli chocolate squares
4. Criminal Minds marathons
5. Making new friends and getting rid of certain old ones.

I’m gonna try to do this every day for a week… and then take it from there. I don’t always appreciate the good things in life.

1. Kitty cuddles while watching my favorite show.
2. Random text messages just to say “hi”
3. Late night conversations about anything and everything
4. Getting a decent night of sleep
5. Being loved and appreciated <3

Your turn?
