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 '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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
