I hope so too, Kell.
Meanwhile, I'm hoping you're finding a still unmoving place of peace inside you.

Even a small place, down deep.

Tap into that, and try to stay in each present moment.
Breaaaaaaaaaaathhhhhe....

hugs,

Thanks Hops!!!  I applied for another job today.  And I applied for another one and they loved me but I politely called and declined the second two hour interview - I cannot afford to take a $15,000 a year pay cut...............and work at a cell phone company!!  And not even the company that I already have my service with!!!  So even though I really want this job, I am continuing my search.  But I tell you, if I do not get this job, I am going to take a deep breath and maintain my cool.  It would be so like me to have a knee jerk reaction and to take any job just to force the issue.  So I will pray and wait and hope that God has something excellent for me....and KNOW that He has something great for me.  Whether it is this job or not.  Maybe something will happen and my mom will be forced to back off.  Who knows?  Not I.  So I'll just take that deep breath and try, try, try to be calm, cool and collected and thank all of you for hearing me spew for these past three months!!!

I AM DONE!  THE SILENCE HAS THROWN ME OVER THE DEEP END!  I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 MONTHS!  I CANNOT STAND IT!  I AM TO THE POINT OF RAGING!  THEY ARE TRULY JERKING ME AROUND (OR AT LEAST THAT IS HOW I FEEL)  I THOUGHT FOR SURE I WOULD HEAR FROM THEM TODAY.  DONE WORRYING.  DONE HOLDING MY BREATH!  IT IS TIME FOR ME TO LET IT GO!

Yes.
It is tremendously inconsiderate, OC, for them to let you hang like that.

Don't vent it to them!!!

I think your anger is justified.

They can't know what this would mean to you, and it's absolutely not personal, but their behavior is disorganized and frustrating. Not to mention apathetic.

I decided what the hell and called the gal who I interviewed with 11 days ago to see what is up.  She told me the new district manager will be in my town tomorrow.  She said  he would be calling all the candidates himself.  I asked if he was planning on calling me and she said she assumes so since they all have endorsed me.  So I am waiting Again for  the phone to ring!  Just need one chance to sell myself but watch,  then  I will have to interview with the new regional vp.  Four interviews down

WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!  Still hasn't called me yet.  But if he truly is in town, we are about to get a blizzard and I probably couldn't make it today anyway......and I did hear from the old DM and I made sure he knew I was waiting for a call, apparently he and the new DM are friends.

Well, I told my 19 year old my intentions of leaving my job with nmom.  Her first response was "darn that grandma.............doesn't she know she should back off and let you run it?"  Then today she told me I was being irresponsible for leaving.  Hopping from job to job.  I said, "I have been there 13 years!!!"  Then she said, "You have a degree and you don't even use it."  I asked her who she had been talking to and she said no one......but I don't believe her...

Overcomer,

Geesh!!  wish things would turn around real fast for you.  But good things come to good people and we usually have to wait.
You are good people and your day is coming!!  Wish I could say more. Hang in there.

Love Deb

Thanks Deb.  I need all the support I can get.  I am starting to think I should tell my mom I will stay if she  meets a list of my demands and one is so huge that she probably wont do it.

Well prayer is the only thing I have.  I am to the point that I just dont care anymore!  I know if I continue to hold out hope for the job I want I will be so devastated if I dont get it!  I cannot risk the emotions!

Thanks.  You have all been so kind waiting with me for my parole!  Now I am second guessing myself to the point of total confusion and bewilderment!

OC, I vote diversion and pleasant distractions for you this weekend.
Funny movies with kids?
A hike in a beeeeeyoooooootiful place?

What would take you totally out of your rumination for just a day or so?

((((OC)))))
