    The new job didn't work out...

    Don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight. As I was walking into my SECOND job tonight, my cellphone rang. It was Louanne, the woman at the temp agency. She told me that the woman I interviewed with said she didn't think I was going to work out, based on a comment I made. She told her I said I was a little overwhelmed. What I said was, it was alot to learn and I could see where someone could get overwhelmed. She told Louanne that it was a slow period for them because the rent checks don't start coming in till the 1st of the month. Louanne said she was NOT pleased at all, and when she questioned Sandra (the woman I interviewed with) about my performance, she was very vague. I assured her I was MORE than capable of performing the job and it was only the third day for God's sake. She said she was going to try and talk to her tomorrow to see if she can change her mind. So, as of right now, I am AGAIN partially unemployed. I am in shock. But I'm also angry. How unfair. But by the same token, if she is so certain that I'm going to fail, I don't want to work for someone like that.

    I did everything I could not to cry at customer service tonight. The minute I got in my car at quitting time, the old floodgates broken open. My eyes are so puffy right now, I feel like I'm looking out from 2 slits.

    I called a dental practice that called me for an interview right after I got this stinking job and left a message to have them call me. We'll see what happens.

    Gosh, that really stinks. But, I agree, you probably wouldn't want to work for someone who's going to assume a false impression of you so quickly without even seeing how you mesh with the job. How rude. Please keep us posted and try to get some sleep.

    **hugs**

    Sweetheart, (I know I'm up early, I went to bed early!) I'm so sorry to hear that the job didn't work out. Gentle {{{{HUGS}}}} from me. What a vague excuse for letting you go! If you need it, the soft, wet shoulder is always here for you to lean on or pound your fists against! I'm here for you, Donna!

    Dear Donna..I know you're really upset. I'm so sorry the lying heifer hurt your feelings by misconstruing what you said. You're too sweet and trusting to work in a place like that anyway. Screw them. Something better will come along- a job you'll love and enjoy



    I've been Boooo'd!
