I have to get a new job. I hate job shopping, it's like dating only worse. You spend a lot of time filling out paperwork and telling people about yourself and then it might not even work out. I mean at least on a date you get a meal or a movie! I usually stay at a job for a long time, like years. This last place I worked I spent 2+ years trying to make it work and I hated every day I was there. The money was decent but it still wasn't worth it to me. So I left, stupid of me not to find something first, but It was inevitable. I think this place greatly added to my depression (and I mean Greatly). I worked 8 years at the place before that and 5 at the place before that only leaving to have a baby. So you see It's not me, I like to stick it out usually. Even if it seems bad at first I try to make a go of it. So now I need to make a resume (never needed one before) and start dating, I mean shopping again. I need to work in the day while the kids are at school and be home when they get back. I want to work, I like working, but I probably need to be a little more selective so I won't end up miserable like at this last place. I would like to go back to school. Partly because I can feel my last bit intelligence slipping away with my age, but my daughter and husband are already in college and I think that the 3 of us would just be to much. Especially in terms of money! Any way I'm going to try this next week I guess. Ich! Don't wish me luck just wish me a good job!
