Oh hai LJ long time no post.
So It's been a rollar coaster of emotions for me this summer. Since moving to Chicago I have not been able to secure a job, and it's not for the lack of trying either, I've applied to a billion places and had a couple interviews. It's just so fustrating. Slowly I found myself falling deeper into my depression.
I have suspected since I returned from Japan I've had minor depression issues but not to the point where I feel I need to be medicated or anything. But lately, I've been having some really bad days. like days where I sleep fovever, don't want to get out of bed, and then feel no motivation to do anything. This has me rethinking how serious my depression may be.
I think it didn't help living in that crap apartment we were in that flooded every month. We moved on the first of this month to a better and brighter apartment on the second floor. On the second floor by the way, so no chance of flooding. I love our building and I love the location. My mood seems to be much better here.
Things were looking up, yesterday I got a call for a interview for Halloween store, which isn't long term but hey it's money and it would be kinda fun. The interview was for today at noon. Shortly after I tripped going down our stairs, missing the last two steps and landing on my left leg which then my left knee locked and then gave way and I end out on the ground thinking I broke something. But luckly, nothing serious, just some spraining going on I think. I'm hobbling around and it aches quiet a bit. trying to keep it elevated and rested so it can heal quicker.
So great perfect timing for that to happen right?! Well I go to my interview today, the bus I wanted to take so that I would be there 10 minutes early, did come on time so I ended up getting there three minutes early. I tried both doors and they were locked! The store hasn't opened yet and I could see some people in there moving things around getting it ready, and I tried to get their attention but I don't think they could see me. I called the number that had called me yesterday three times and let ring and ring and ring, and there was no answer! Not even a answering machine. I was so pissed because I had asked the lady on the phone where the interview would be at and she said at the store location. I just don't get it. I waited outside for 15 minutes just to be sure they weren't late or anything. How unprofessional! So I got all dressed and gussyed up for nothing, and having to stand and wait for the bus to come for 15 minutes did not help my hurt leg at all.
I was just really hoping this would go right so that my life would start turning around here. I neeeeeeeed a job asap! *sigh* I guess I shouldn't want to work for a company that acts like that. Well, I guess there will be other opprotunities. Better ones I hope.
