Thanks Nat, Thanks Kier
New News: I've just started applying for jobs again. While I was working at Gap I met these 2 cool people who work for a laboratory and they were telling me about it so I just sent in my application for a bunch of positions. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME, SEND ME GOOD VIBES OR DO WHATEVER YOU DO! I feel like I need this job. I do need something more if I'm ever goin to move out. Plus this job is in the right direction for me doing something with my major. I hope I find out soon.

YOU ALL EVERYBODY! (guess which show is in my Addiction-list now...)
Hi!
I've been very much absent from the forum due to following things:
1) Stress.
2) Erm. Stress again?
If you don't read my journal, the scoop is this: I quit my job, because the company that hired me for this "dream job" turned out to be something that loves using their workers as free work force. The stuff I was told to do without any pay in the beginning, which was supposed to be only a week long thing, is still ongoing and takes up all my time PLUS is pretty much 2/3 of the stuff I do for this company. So after having worked my bum off, I won't even be able to pay my rent with that money that comes from the 1/3. Hooray! Ok, before this turns into Angry Snatch, I'll just say:
I'll be working for them for another 25 days or so as the law requires. I love teaching the kids, and will miss them terribly, and this whole ordeal just saddens me because these people just plain used me. Ugh. So for the next 25 days or so you still might not be seeing much of me. Don't worry, I stopped doing all the unpaid stuff for them as soon as I gave in my resignation. Still I'm silly busy, yay...
So, I'm back in the game with all you job seekers again! Good luck everyone!

ouch! it sucks that they treated you like that. good luck finding new work. ...the company that hired me for this "dream job" turned out to be something that loves using their workers as free work force. The stuff I was told to do without any pay in the beginning, which was supposed to be only a week long thing, is still ongoing... You know I hear that! Way too many companies try to squeeze every bit of extra work they can outta their employees without paying them for it. I'm seeing it more and more lately.

Ok, first, before anything: I'm really sorry that I have been away for so long. I've been trying to post a little here and there the past week, but I have missed everyone so very much! Things have been very stressful here these last few months. Whenever I thought that I had some extra time to just do something by myself, it turned out to not be the case. Between doctors, therapists, and all that, jazz, I've been feeling like I'm going to lose my mind (or have I already lost it?). Add to that: my husband was only working a part-time job, so we barely had any income to live, social services wouldnt' help us, and we were fighting like crazy (I actually thought we were going to end up getting divorced). Only recently has all that calmed down a bit, and hubby and I are getting along again. We actually went out for the first time with no kids the other night! Kevin's doing SO well! He has been cleared for oral feeding, and he has tried sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, and pears! mmmmmm. He loves it! He's going to be 1 yr old on February 3rd 2006. How? Arianna is turning into a big girl. Where has my little girl gone? She's in Kindergarten this year, and is doing SO well. YAY! She turned 5 back in October! Jade is getting BIG, and he lost his 2 front teeth. He also has a mohawk, lol. He's in first grade this year, and has homework every night. Where has the time gone? Seriously, geez! He turns 7 January 8th, 2006! Hubby and I will be married for 7 yrs on March 27th (2006)!!! I can't believe it! And the BIG news: I would like to introduce you to Toriforum baby, uhhhhhhh, some really high number? lol Little Sprout is due July 2006!!!I'm only 6weeks 2 days along, and this was a TOTAL surprise, seeing as we used protection and all... Please pray that's it's a girl! I'm getting my tubes tied after this bebe is born, and even if it's a girl we'll be adopting not 1, not 2, but 4 children. All ranging in ages from 1 year to 4 yrs old. And one at a time of course, lol. We're going to be moving soon too, and hopefully in the next year or so we'll be buying a house!! So the adopting will happen after the house, obviously, lol. We're going to be looking for a farm so I can have horses, and board horses to help bring in some extra money too. And hopefully the farm will have a HUGE house, YAY! Ok, that's my update!
