I never wanted to say it because I felt like it was just me feeling sorry for myself, but recently I quit my job of six years and replaced it with three WAH jobs. These are all very stable legit companies. Companies that have been around for years with thousands of employees. My plan was to work about 18 hours a day. Finally get ahead, pay off all my bills, finally be able to afford a vacation and a better life for me and my son. Out of the three jobs one fell through that was full-time. One lost the client that I was supposed to be working for and the other one over hired and right now there is not enough work for everyone. On top of that, two of the companies screwed up my direct deposit and my pay for both of them were over a week late paying me with the fault being on their end. How likely is it that two of them would screw it up! I had to almost get nasty with them to finally get my pay because neither HR dept seemed concerned, so it has kind of spoiled my feelings about working for them.
So now basically after working all my life since I was 16 and taking on three jobs I am unemployed for the first time in my life and barely hanging on. I have a job if I want it but it doesn't start til September. I have two interviews tomorrow. Unemployment keeps saying that they have not decided if I am eligible although I applied two weeks ago. They keep making me drive to the next town over and prove that I am applying for work yet they may not ever approve me. It takes gas money I don't have and time away from applying for jobs to keep driving there.
I told my sister that I always must make bad decisions because I always seem to find myself in impossible situations. She told me that she feels that I never seem to get any breaks and that it isn't anything I am making bad decisions about.
I always felt I had bad luck, but never wanted to say it because I thought it was kind of like maybe just seemed like it to me. She just seemed to confirm that from where she sits it does seem like I have more than my fair share. I finally know now that it isn't just me that sees it that way.
