Job news

Well, the news is in, and I guess it's not earth-shattering. In its infinite wisdom the organization has decided to go with someone else. I have no idea who, or what her qualifications are, but I'm told it was the usual "difficult decision."

Sigh. Thanks again for your counsel and support through this. I'm deeply disappointed, but very motivated now to find out what I'm really supposed to be doing. Insurance sure isn't it.

I'm sorry you didn't get the job. It always makes it worse when you KNOW you're the best person for the job and they pay you lip-service before the BUT... speech. You'll find something better. I know that does little to help now so do something special for yourself... maybe a relaxing bath?

Ohhhhhhh. I just bet they'll regret their decision at some point! I'm with Paula, things happen for a reason and you'll have the last laugh yet! Good luck with the next job.

I'm so sorry you didn't get the job, but on the bright side..........I have to agree with the others. Maybe this happened for a reason.

Keep your chin up and keep pluggin' away at it. From my own personal experience, it took me nearly 5 years to get the job of my dreams. Three of those were spent trudging away in an environment I swore I would never return to, just so that I could have the opportunity to open that golden door again.

Good Luck, I know you'll find that perfect position.

Alexandra,

I'm sorry you didn't get the job. It sounded like you were perfect. Although sometimes when you've already worked somewhere, no matter how long ago, they feel they need "new blood" or "fresh ideas". They are not always correct. THE job is out there. I'm sure of it.

Sorry Alexandra... the perfect job awaits and it sounds like you are all fired up and ready to find it... when one door closes another opens... just keep on a knocking!

Sorry 'bout the news Alex. Based on what you had shared, I figured you would be a shoe-in. Well - find comfort in knowing that regardless of what the person's qualifications are, I'm sure s/he is working for a salary you would have scoffed at. :)

Stuff em then!

When you are in the middle of something that doesn't seem to be going well the "maybe it's for a reason" thoughts don't have much comfort...but one day and soon, you'll look back smiling and say to yourself..."See, if I'd taken that job, I wouldn't be here now!" and then all will make sense.

Wherever you're headed now my it bring better and happier times.:)

Thanks, everyone. In the morning light things look a bit brighter. I mean, it's not like I'm unemployed. Time is on my side and I have the luxury of seeking the right thing on my own time and on my terms.

I'm sure this exercise hasn't been in vain, though its purpose may take time to come clear. I really appreciate your words, everyone. :)

Alex, every cloud does have a silver lining. There is something better for out there. I left nursing for sales and it was the best thing I have ever done.

Sorry about the job, but it sounds like the whole possibility of it has you thinking in a good direction for the future now -- your resume is updated, your eyes are opened and you're motivated! I'm sure you'll find something different if you look around. Everything DOES happen for a reason..............hang in there

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
