My good news first. I went to ITT Tech and did a presentation so that I can be an instructor there. It went really well. After my presentation they offered me constructive criticism (like talking louder) and also showed me around the school. I think they might actually hire me. But, not for another 9 weeks or so because that is when the new term will start.

The bad -
I got denied unemployment. They basically said that I didn't do enough to help my job performance and that my employer gave me ample warning to correct it. Therefore I am the reason why I got fired and unemployment will not be paid to me. This is bullshit, I was told once in the almost year and half I was there that my performance was not up to par, and that was back in November. I was working on, but obviously my new project manager thought I sucked and they fired me. A-Holes! Also I found out that my ex-employer is completely ruining my reputation in my field. This is making it very difficult to get anyone to hire me in my field. I may have to move out of Denver to get away from it.

Because I am not going to get unemployment, I am going to lose my apartment. I will now be forced to move me and my kitties in my Grandma's house. My aunt, my uncle, my grandma and I (plus the kitties) will be living there. I swear that house will be hell. AND I won't have money to even get away from there. So basically since I found out late this afternoon I have been crying and wondering what the hell I am going to do. I will have to be out of my apartment on the last day of April, so I guess I could pack.

my day sucked but I still have hope that something good has to happen to me. I have been dealt this shitty hand for 8 weeks now, something good has to come soon. Or so I hope. I guess I am lucky that I have somewhere to go, but I almost would rather live in my car.

Well here I am at eight weeks unemployed. I will hit that mark on this Wednesday (tomorrow)

In the previous post about my job situation I mentioned I was going insane....you have no idea. I am so far past that.

I don't have a boyfriend or a kid to distract me. I have all these walls of my apartment....and that is it. Oh and my kitties are here too.

I am about to lose my apartment. I am actually surprised I have kept it this long. I have had the money to pay the rent the past two months....this coming month, I am going to have to start borrowing from the parents. I filed for unemployment 6 weeks ago and as of Monday, March 24th they had not made a decision. Said it should be by the end of the week. I am lucky though, if I get it I can stay in my apartment. If not, then I have to hit up my aunt for the money to get out of my lease (about $1500) plus my rent for April. Then to make matter worse I have to move back in with my Grandma who is also housing my aunt and soon will be housing my uncle. It is a 3 bedroom house that is about 1100 sq feet. 4 people living there is going to be insane. I am again going to be confined to a room. But at least I will have a place to go.

So does anyone know how to get employers attention???? I have found that most places will not accept you going to their office in person and handing them your resume and application. It is all done online. Which throughly pisses me off. I have been on monster, careerbuilder, hotjobs and many others. I have heard NOTHING! I even have a recruiting company that is supposed to be helping me out. I haven't heard from them since I signed up with them. no jobs leads at all through them. What sucks about that is....On monster most of the jobs in my field go through this recruiting company. You can only talk to your assigned agent and no one else. What if your agent isn't doing their job?? In this case I can't so anything. Also I have applied outside my field. Like to customer service jobs. I was actually told by two companies that they wouldn't hire me because I was over qualified! I was like WTF??? if I applied for the job obviously I don't think it is beneath me to do it.

I re-did my resumes after consulting a professional as well as I redid my cover letters. So far nothing. I actually got more of a response from my other resumes. So much for the professionals.

Well if I find out that I don't get unemployment, I am going to go work at Circle K at night. Don't really have a choice in the matter. I need money. Also, my best friends company is hiring.

I am soooo bored out of my mind! SO I want to apologize lazypuppy! You have put up with me, especially this past month, and me thinking that you didn't care. I was so wrong! Thanks for just letting me vent and for the fact that even when you are exhausted you go out with me (like Monday...I know you would have rather slept and relaxed at home)

So I found this really cool website through a message board that I chat on. You can visit my city and then build your own. The more people that visit your city the bigger the population gets.

I don't know to embed a website on here...but I will give it a try. here is the address

Enjoy!

Well it has been a while since I have posted on here. I was working all day everyday until the 29 of January. That is the day I officially lost my job. And as much as it sucks I am relieved that I don't work for that company anymore.

But that leave me with no job and wondering how the hell I am going to pay my bills! It is more frustrating than anything. I apply to countless jobs online and I never hear anything. NOTHING AT ALL! The last time I heard from someone was over a week ago. I feel useless doing this and I am bored out of my mind. I am also to the point where I am getting on the nerves of my loved ones. I am down, borderline depressed and becoming broke quickly.

Seriously I have no clue if I am sane anymore...I am soooo bored, I just want to work. Problem is that I am in such a specialized field (Interior Design) that it is making me struggle more. And I can't take less money than I was making cause I need that much to stay afloat.

I am at such a loss. I hate this point.

Other than looking for a job and being frustrated, I am actually doing quite alright. I am sleeping better than I ever have and I am actually a little relaxed which is very odd.

I heard this great song for the first time today. And it is so TRUE!!!

Love Song For No One Lyrics
John Mayer

Staying home alone on a Friday
Flat on the floor looking back
On old love
Or lack thereof
After all the crushes are faded
And all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
Get here

Searching all my days just to find you
I'm not sure who I'm looking for
I'll know it
When I see you
Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
Staying up all night just to write
A love song for no one

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?
Oh no way

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I'm so tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here oh yeah

You'll be so good
You'll be so good for me
