Why can't life be easier? Did I do something wrong in a past life and now I'm paying for it? Because I really can't think of anything I've done so damn bad in this one.
I've been applying for jobs since quitting the shithole. I got called for an interview. And its a place that is only a mile from my house. So yay! for that. BUT (yes I have a big but) it's stressing me out. She called me yesterday and said she needed me to email references....it had to be people I had worked with or for in the past 5 years. Well I've only had the 2 jobs in the past 5 years and the one I just left I don't have on my resume because I left on such bad terms. So I had to give her names of people I worked with at my last job...the one I was at for 4 years. Not a big deal...everybody liked me there and I left on good terms. BUT she called them within MINUTES of me sending her their names and phone numbers. She GRILLED them about how I was with stress and in high pressure stressful situations. Oh great...yet another high stress job. That's all I need. *sigh*
So anyway I went for the interview and she was really nice. The place is nice but of course it was quiet since it was first thing in the morning..so I didn't see any of the craziness I know takes place later in the day. I don't know if they'll hire me or what.
So once again I'm in a place of desperation where I NEED a job quickly and the only thing on offer (possibly) so far is at STRESSVILLE USA. So what do I do? Because I took the last job at the shithole under those circumstances I'm scared to fucking death to do that again. But what if they offer me the job and I pass on it from fear and then can't find another one?? Hell they may not even offer me the job. Who knows.
When I went to the doctor last Friday they told me that even though I'm on 3 different meds for my heart/blood pressure my BP was "dangerously high". So hmmm...my options are stay out of work and keep looking for a non-stressful job but be stressed anyway for lack of money to pay the bills or take a job (if it's offered) at a possibly very high stress place and be very stressed because of it and die of a stroke. AAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
You know why there aren't any job openings at low stress places???? Because the people that work there are HAPPY and NOT STRESSED and love it and want to stay. I don't blame them. But as soon as one of them dies I'm in there baby!!!
