I know my readers must be sick and tired of reading posts about my problems but I’m sorry here’s another one. I’m still unemployed and have been for over a year now. The job market is really bad here in my part of New Jersey. Just yesterday I got a rejection email for a job that I sent my resume in for. They didn’t even bother to call me in for an interview. They just looked at my resume and rejected it. I was perfectly qualified for that job too.
The stress of not being able to find work is taking a huge toll on my life. I don’t eat much at all which has got to be one of the best diets that work of all time. My pants have gotten quite loose, which really isn’t good because I can’t afford to buy new clothes that fit. I’ve found a lot of new wrinkles and more gray hairs. Sadness and depression rule my life.
2010 is fast approaching and I just hope it’s a better year than 2009 has been. I’ve been unemployed for a year now and hopefully I’ll find a job in 2010.
Our family has had a very bad 2009 and I hope, for everyone, that their luck changes beginning tomorrow. The bad luck needs to go away and the good luck needs to return.
A list of some of the not so good things that happened during 2009. We had a couple deaths in the family due to cancer, I was unable to find a job and didn’t get called back to the temp job that I loved, my unemployment and worker’s comp ran out within a month of each other and I’ve had no income since May 2009. We had to sell some things in order to survive. My elliptical was one of the things we had to sell.
Here’s hoping for a better year in 2010. Happy New Year readers!
Winter has gotten started with a bang! We had over 12 inches of snow just before Christmas so we had a white Christmas. Hubby worked plowing snow for 34 hours. Our heater quit but we have 2 space heaters and a burner going on the stove. It keeps it nice and toasty inside this camper.
In the bedroom we have an electric blanket (pad under the mattress) to help keep us warm while we sleep.
Hopefully we’ll get more snow and then with hubby plowing we’ll have money to get a place to move to. Now all I need to do is find a job and hope that Andi finds a job soon too and we’ll be good to go.
I hope everyone had a great holiday. I was hoping to get called for some employee screening but I haven’t heard anything yet. There are just not many job opening out there for me and those that I do get an interview for have a lot of people that applied. I’m still keeping my hopes up that I get a job soon.
Last week we got over 12 inches of snow and starting Friday night the temperature rose and we got rain. It rained all day yesterday too. Now all that’s left of the snow is what was piled up from it being plowed. Now hubby wants more snow. He worked 34 hours plowing during that last snowstorm. Big money to be made doing that!
I didn’t realize just how long it’s been since I posted here. A lot has been going on. About the end of August we got notice the landlord wasn’t going to renew our lease and wanted us out in 6 days. We got him to give us another month to find a place. We were unable to find something suitable and now we are living in our camper until we can find something.
There sure won’t be any orlando vacations… we need to find a place to live. It’s going to have to be at least 3 bedrooms .. preferably 4 because Andi, the baby and her boyfriend will be moving in with us to help with expenses.
I still haven’t found a job either. This economy is really bad.
I found the best diet pill/fat burner in the world. Here is how it works:
1. lose your job
2. stress over it
3. lose your unemployment
4. stress over it
5. be unable to find another job
6. stress over it
7. not have much money
8. stress over it
9. eat very little to conserve the food you have
10. stress over it
That’s how I lost almost 10 pounds in the last couple months. I went from 153 to 144 when I got on the scale this morning.
I just can’t wait till hubby gets paid on Friday.. maybe.. just maybe I can buy a little food. We still have bills to pay. I hate bills.
I really do hate it. I need to find a job but there just aren’t any around. I’ve been looking every day. Things have gotten so bad that I started trying to sell things on EBay and on Craigslist. After a month of trying I finally sold my fitness equipment (elliptical) for $300. That money is gone. Hubby gets paid tomorrow and that won’t come too soon.
I tried to sell a couple other things on EBay but they went unsold. I guess times are bad all over.
Tensions are high here at home. It’s not a happy time when we are broke.
