I am truly a basket case! I know others go through this themselves…I worry a lot. If I didn’t have anything to worry about then I’d worry that there should be something to worry about! 🙄 Lately with the job search over my head I worry about finding a job! Duh! Like no one else is in those shoes right now! 😈 Personally, I’m not unhappy about being laid off—that place with all its negativity was sucking me dry and I don’t miss it not one bit! I wouldn’t go back to them if they begged me! So that’s behind me. But everyday I look at the job listings and apply and end up not hearing anything because there are so many other people in my situation right now. I worry about my unemployment benefits running out and still not have a job!
Hey, I know this is all silly because deep down inside I know things will be fine and my friends tell me things will be fine–but I still worry. I guess I need to go to the doctor and get one of those ‘happy’ pills. 😆 I wish I could learn to live for the day and let tomorrow take care of itself–easier said than done. I know I want ‘control’ XD over my situation and maybe feel having a job with a steady income would ease my worries. Yeah, right! I’m sure I’m not alone and there are many, many worry warts out there just like me. So just putting it out there because it’ll make me feel better–for a while anyway! 😈
Yeah I know how that feels. I thought that, ok sweet, my $13/hour may suck, but it’s $13/hour better then nothing! But lately I’ve been worrying about everything there – will I be able to pay for my insulin with this pay (I did some calculating and the answer is a definite “no”), or how badly will I screw up, because I’ve been given training for a week on something that I should have had 3 weeks for?…. I’m so stressed I can’t even enjoy my weekends anymore, because I’m going over what I need to do during the week.
So you’re not alone in the basket case thing. Wanna share a basket? It’s more fun being crazy with company….. 😈
And I do hope you find a job – and I hope you love it! Because it’s no fun working for a job that sucks – even if it *is* a steady income. :nea:

Sure, why not–moves over to make room for Dragon87. The more the merrier. I know something will happen, I just don’t when. This is worrisome times for a lot of us and I’m not happy that others are in this situation but I’m glad to have their company. I have been sitting back and wondering what my next move will be–wouldn’t mind a steady part time but will it pay my bills?
And yeah it sucks being at a job you’re not happy with–had that with my last job! It really wears on you and before you know it, your whole life has been overshadowed by this job! Definitely not worth it because sooner or later you’re going to get stressed out to the point where your health goes downhill. For now I have my heath which I am very thankful of.
So folks, there’s more room in the basket if you care to join us! 😈
So, where is this basket going? Not down, I hope. 😆
Good luck! People tell me the same thing, that everything will be fine and it will work out. I have applied for many jobs over the course of a year, and have only been interviewed a handful of times, so my advice is to apply like crazy! The ones that you would really like, call them about a week after you submit your application, and confirm that they received it, and express your interest in the position. Some places really hate that though, so tread carefully. Good luck! 🙂
What part of CA are you in??
Leigha and I both work for CVS Pharmacy. it’s my 2nd job, and I’m not sure how much they pay in the dept but in my store and several stores they are opening what they are calling Beauty 360 which is a high end beauty store
Maybe there is one near you that is hiring??
My stores grand opening for it is SaturdayI’m in the same city as Leigha–that is a thought and I could check out their website. Worth a try! 🙂
If you are in San Jose there are SEVERAL stores in that area
It will not make you a instant millionaire but it will be money coming in at least and that is the important thing
you never know maybe something else will come along while you are there.
I have to work at my store tonight, we are open 24hours and I work 11:30PM to 7AM 3 nights a week now. It sure helps out
I’m not sure any of the stores have the beauty 360 or are getting it but MAN it looks GREAT.
One of my customers said it loks like a Mac store
Maybe just in the store part you can get hired I know we lost a couple to Beauty 360 so maybe that will open up a few positions in your area
GOOD LUCK and keep us informed ESPECIALLY if you join the CVS FamilyLadyFirebird wrote:I am truly a basket case! I know others go through this themselves…I worry a lot. If I didn’t have anything to worry about then I’d worry that there should be something to worry about!

Awww…This isn’t good…I worry alot too, and it can affect your health a great deal more than you think. BESIDES gray hairs and either losing or gaining weight. 😛
Things have a way of working out, just not always how we would like, or as quickly as we would like. I don’t think you need happy pills, you just need work, and perhaps that will pick you up. But, it’s getting the work, that is the problem anymore. Maybe in another year or so we will actually see a pick up in the employment area of the US. If they all stop bickering in congress, then it would sure help. 😡
AND…I get so tired of hearing from people who are so laid back that, “Let it go. Worry aobut today, I don’t even think of what I am going to do tomorrow.” Yeah, sure whatever…I’d like to meet the person who lives by this. EVERYONE thinks about tomorrow unless they don’t eat, or say they sleep perfect every night, are never constipated, etc. So, to live by that creed must take one special person. I know one who says they are like that all the time, and I’d like to punch him straight in the mouth for fibbing to me. 😕
So, while you think about tomorrow, know that it may not end up like you thought today, but that there is a good chance that even while under stress, there will be something that happens or is said or perhaps even someone that will bring a smile to your lips or make you laugh! Even if your world is upside down! 8)
*hugs* 😀Thanks, WSC 😆 A laugh certainly does release the tension! I have people also telling me that by the end of the year, employers will be hiring again as things get better. Also that there will be an exodus of people looking for another job because they felt taken advantage of in their present job. You do go through those pockets of worries now and then–especially when you’re supporting yourself without a husband bringing in an income. If what people tell me is true, I should be employed by the end of the year. Right now there are listings but also a bunch of people applying for these jobs and they don’t want to pay you that much for your experience. So I’ll hang tight and look around and sooner or later something will come up. Not exactly desparate yet. A lot of us are in this situation and it isn’t pleasant.
I’d like to punch these ‘don’t worry, be happy’ individuals myself–especially when they have a sufficient income coming in and don’t have to worry about paying their bills. Yeah, easier said than done when you aren’t exactly walking in my shoes!
When Laurie has her surgery and has the side effect of ‘extra stinky farts’, I’m gonna send her to these ‘don’t worry’ people to stay for a week–with all the doors and windows sealed shut!!!! BAAAAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 👿 XD
Well I’m on the list of the temp agency that helped me find my last job. Man, each time I re-enter the job market things change around. Everything is done online–applications and everything. I just get this uneasy feeling that my poor app and resume is floating somewhere in cyberspace! But I like this agency–see if they can help me again.
