I got this idea from the "Right now I feel..." thread.  Do you feel like you just need to vent?  If you do, you can do it here without judgement or criticism.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrated with my job search.  I have posted my resume' what seems like all over the net as well as responding to listings in the local newspaper to no avail. WTF?  I'm wondering if my resume' is "too telling".  My ex and I owned a real estate company in Tx and I've listed that on my resume' with my titles having been VP and CFO.  Should I take those specific titles off of my resume'?  I am applying for Exec. Asst. positions and I wonder if those titles are causing my resume' to get "tossed".  Any ideas out there about how to properly put my resume' out there?  I have been self employed all of my adult working life and have no real clue how to do this.  :(   I just want to scream.


Thanks for reading "listening".

I hate it when - I'm working on a project with someone (some guys) and I make a point that feels to me like a deal-breaker - and I'm told - don't try and re-invent the wheel, let's just get this done -- and the deal heads south because -- guess what??? that thing I wasn't supposed to ponder over has come back to bite us in the a---!!!! Really frustrating. I hope someone gets it next time before all the unwanted brain damage. I get tired of having to be smarter -- all the time -- WOW (wow) ....  that felt good.

Nearing midnight - burning the midnight oil - getting tired - want to browse around here some more before going to sleep.

I agreed (along with too many other things) to facilitate a class without knowing the full extent of the "behind the scenes" expectations.  That and my dad having open heart surgery last week are keeping me up nights.  I know that Dad will recover, and I'll get a system down for this class and get familiar with my students, but right now I just feel overwhelmed.  Sigh ...

Karen, I am applying for exec. asst. positons because that is where I would probably excel the quickest.  Does that make sense?  My ex and I were in business for a long while and I never bothered going back to school and I feel like w/o a degree my options are limited.  Since I have such extensive experience in that "role" I figured that was the way for me to go.

Still EXTREMELY frustrated and growing increasingly SCARED (about my job situation).  I haven't been feeling to good the last week and I imagine that probably has me down too.


I'm liking this, being able to just vent!  Nice.

I am so pissed at myself! Today, September 17, is my last remaining brother's 25th birthday and I know every year that I am not able to find him I fail!    I want my big brother!    He and I are the only 2 alive (God forbid he be gone too!) out of 6 kids and I can't even find my own flesh and blood! Dang it, but I feel like a major failure. I don't even know his real name, I have never met him, I have 3 pictures of him as a newborn and yet I love him with all I am. I swear it, I will not give up on my brother! I love him too much. And a good solid "SHOVE IT!" to our birth mother for being so happy with the thought that he is dead. She can give up on me, I don't care. But how dare she give up on her son who IS ALIVE! She has met me so I don't care about her opinion of who I am. But leave your *BLEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP* mouth OFF MY BROTHER!!!!!!


 


 


I am a bad little sister...I am so sorry I can't find you yet...But Happy Birthday brother, you're 25 and I still, always will,  Love You!

Training for facilitating my new class (to which 6 students were added since last week) is a nightmare.  Tomorrow I'm having somewhere between 1 - 15 women over at my house that only seats 11 comfortably, and today I got a call from a teacher about "issues in the classroom" involving my freshman daughter.  My dad's recovery from open heart surgery isn't going smoothly.  My closest friend and I have hit a rough patch this week, so I'm not getting much support there, and overall I'm ready to scream. 


It does help to have a place to write this.

I almost had a coniption (sp?) yesterday!  I was driving down one of our busy streets and stopped at a red light, I noticed a woman pushing a stroller with a toddler and a newborn in it.  She parks the thing applies the breaks then goes into the store and leaves them outside...on a busy street...to go shopping...on a BUSY STREET!  The kid infront is is not strapped in he could wiggle out, he can undo the stupid break come on lady!  I reached for my phone but I saw a woman stop look at the stroller then march into the store it was parked at....I think she had the same thought as I did...and was going to go voice that thought to an idiot that obviously should not have had kids!


To me, this is almost as bad as people who double park on a busy street to run in and get coffee with their kids in the car!  Honestly!  People can carjack it, you might accidentally lock the door or even worse the kid could climb up into the front seat and take off with it, have some common sense moron JEEZ!  I did'nt have the darn things, you did so PAY ATTENTION!
