This isn’t really about weight loss so much other than the fact I am so frustrated I want to eat everything in site. I have seen other’s posts about job seeking being laid off etc. Well guys, I am one of you. I haven’t had work since moving to this area in December. There isn’t much going on here. Luckily it only took my husband about two months to find work (only….he was used to getting hired on the spot before coming here). This is why I decided to go to nursing school; it is the only job consistently advertised here in the papers, taking up several columns of want ads.

Anyhow, I have been diligently looking for work since being accepted to the program to help pay for gas to school (an hour away) and books, supplies, etc. Just this past three days alone I have put in 25 job applications, sent out resumes made follow up calls, etc. I have been diligent!!! Wouldn’t you know it the only place that calls me for an interview was the local Mc Donalds. I was offered a job for part time making $7.00 an hour. The bad part is I need a job so badly that I had to take it until/if ever something better comes along. Thankfully I don’t really like their food other than a cheeseburger once in a while. In fact I haven’t ate there in over a year. But still, not a good place to be for a frustrated dieter!

I understand there not being much work here for massage therapists due to the economy (people need to eat and put gas in their car more than they need a massage) but I was really hoping for something better. I should add that I am also trained in phlebotomy. All the interviews I went on for that said they need at least three years experience. Ummm, could someone please tell me how a person gets this experience if no-one will give them a chance to begin with.

Okay, rant over. I just needed to vent and stay out of the kitchen where my sister is making double chocolate chip cookies. Another place this frustrated dieter doesn’t need to be right now.
