Get a book, a friend, a pet......something because you really need to get it together! I am depressed just reading your posts. Until you are ready to end the pity party EVERYTHING in your life if going to seem unfair.

As for your temp job, why would you leave a job (especially in this economy) because someone said money was stolen BEFORE you got there? That is ridiculous! If you are that whiny and lazy....quit...there are alot more people out there who deserve the work!

I agree...and if you have a hard time finding and keeping a job...start your own business....create work. You waste alot of time focusing on the negative.

I was taken advantage of and that was right before this recession. I found another job but, I was laid off 8 months ago because, the staff didn't like me. I was told my "position was being eliminated" What a joke! I just saw an ad online for my old job. So if I tie my self esteem to a job, I will want to just shoot myself!!! I have to find other ways to feel good about myself which is hard. Now I have a temp job. But, I was told petty cash got stolen a month before I started. I was also told it was by someone in the office. I am now considering finding another temp job. SHOULD I?
First, I want to say that I'n sorry to hear you lost your Mom.
Stop letting yourself be taken advantage of, I would have negotiated
my new salary beforehand or said no thank you. There will always be
jealous co-workers and companies who'll take advantage every opportunity
they get. Forget about getting into a relationship right now, you just don't
have the right frame of mind. I'd definately get enrolled in some classes,
maybe a new career choice, toughen up and ask for what you want. I've
been there. Best of Luck.

Yea, I agree with the other posters (jeepgirl) as far as letting go of the past and just like you I have lost friends and family.

In the 21 century we have society that lives and records almost every moment due to our technology(cam phones) so it's hard to get away from it even when you need to, so as a result, people often use there past to chaperon there everyday lives.

Anyhow, and it's going to be a little hard but what worked for me is literally training myself to have little emotion for any person, place or thing including death. I mean, you can regulate how much emotional investment you give instead of just letting it manipulate how much investment it wants from you.

There is nothing wrong with that so as long as you keep your basic compassion levels intact.


As for as being unemployed, your only unemployed because you choose to be. There are 6 (going on 7) billion of us and all of us need things and have problems that need to be solved on the daily. If you can figure out problems for people you will be a women who will always have money in your pocket.

So my point is, what can you do to help somebody else in a way that they will pay you? Can you do hair? Can you fix things like computers? Can you cook? Are you good looking because people will pay just to look at you too...lol Think about how much money is made of the backs of women alone using there good looks??
