Since this job thing is going so well....<br /><br />On the upside, I have interview for another assistant job on Monday. It would be a challenging job. But I'll worry about that if I get it!<br /><br />@ Hilary, I appreciate your kind words. Yes, the car is fixed and fine. Between the rental and repair, we had to spend some $, but that's what happens with cars sometimes. <br /><br />I have another interview Monday. Let's hope.<br /><br />@ Clarissa, that's a nice way to look at it. I registered for a class yesterday and have an interview Monday. Hope that helps change my fate.<br /><br />@ Shannon, thank you. I'm trying not to close myself off. That's why I'm willing to do apply for full-time assistant jobs now. It would be steady income and less pressure than teaching while I'm back in school. <br /><br />@ Jess, hi campaigner!<br /><br />Thanks for the good thoughts. I appreciate it.<br /><br />@ Missed Periods, that's exactly what I wanted to do! I appreciate your willingness to use force.<br /><br />@ Kate, thank you for the positive vibes. I can especially use them on Monday for a job interview.<br /><br />@ Jennifer, hi campaigner! I hope this bad news turns into good news. I have just over a week before having to sub again.

It was a nice break from it when I had the extended term sub job for six months.<br /><br />@ Alleged Author, I wish I lived in area that needs teachers. I looked a little more north, in case we were willing to move and there were even less jobs.<br /><br />@ Michelle, Thanks for commiserating. I wrote this yesterday when I was at an all time low. Writing it made me feel much better. <br /><br />@ J.L., yes, my stomach is often in knots these days. Thanks for offering to pray for me.<br /><br />@ Slamdunk, I job search a few times a week. I'm sick of it!<br /><br />@ JEFritz, thank you for the comment. I appreciate it.<br /><br />@ Ciara, I hope I do too. I know you just had your own job changes.<br /><br />@ Tara, when I sub, I often feel like a babysitter, even if it's a good day. It's not teaching, is it?<br /><br />@ Connie, thank you. I bet most writers appreciate this movie. <br /><br />@ Jules, thanks. I appreciate your nice words. I know you've had your own job woes.<br /><br />@ Talli, no happy ending, so far. It would've been a nice ending at the end of a crazy post. Instead, just crazy. <br /><br />@ Anne, thanks for sharing your story. Yes, it was nice to know I was wanted. It was a good boost. <br /><br />Hope you get your dream job in the future.<br /><br />@ LR, I want more Maine lobster already. My dad, on the other hand, prefers fish. Crazy, right?<br /><br />Good luck with your job search.<br /><br />@ Christina, thank you. You said it exactly.<br /><br />@ Mary Anne, your poor friend. Yes, the economy is hurting a lot of people. My cousin can't find a Social Studies job either. She may move to where the jobs are more plentiful. <br /><br />@ Susanna, thanks for having confidence in me.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-42772879237772321642011-08-24T17:32:43.157-07:002011-08-24T17:32:43.157-07:00Anyone who doesn't hire you is totally missing...Anyone who doesn't hire you is totally missing out and it's their loss!

Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />@ Nicki, I'll keep the name of the blog. I think I have to. I know someone who changed hers and she lost all of her comments. My husband said I can't change the name of the blog because people are used to it. Besides, I'm more than ready for another job with or without this blog name!<br /><br />@ Michelle, I love that movie too. So clever!<br /><br />@ Nas, thanks. I'll take those positive thoughts and vibes!<br /><br />@ Marlena, I worry my age might be getting in my way too. I'm not just out of college and cheap anymore.<br /><br />Thank you for the nice comment.<br /><br />@ Natalie, literacy is deemed important too, yet libraries are cutting hours and closing locations. Thank you for the positive thoughts.<br /><br />@ Len, I appreciate your feelings. I have no words for it either. All I can do is keep trying.

They tried their best, but the economy crashed and they just couldn't give me the position. Sucked.)<br /><br />I know something will come up for you very very soon.
