[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 600521, member: 84"] IC if that is the case...........then I am probably scr*wed. I'm not the most social creature, in fact, most would say I'm not social at all..........hermit comes to mind. lol Witz the temp company is The Reserves Network. Hiring for the candle company here is just about all they do........I've not really heard of anyone being hired through them to do another type of work. My hope is that if they were so desperate as to post on the free site, they are desperate for people to fill the slots. The candle company has a bad reputation, it also has a rapid turn over rate. Why I'm not sure except the temp company seems to work to fill the slots more than focus on whom they're filling the slots with...........but then our workforce here is limited. I know they've hired the low end of the welfare pool for at least a decade.......the ones who only apply because they're required to in order to keep benefits, but who are more interested in partying or whatnot and don't last 3 days. Due to the limited work force.....6 months later they will literally hire them again for a repeat performance.......a never ending cycle. They *might* get 1 or 3 duration workers out of every large cattle call. Notice I said *might*. We also have a huge volume of really really stupid people in the area. I'm not saying that to be mean, but think hillbilly and it's [B]not[/B] a stereotype around here, I don't have a clue how many manage to graduate. (diploma is required for the job) Nichole's (and others) biggest complaint was having to work with people who couldn't seem to figure out how to fill a box with candles. Boring and tedious is about my speed right now. I'd probably enjoy hard work that doesn't require me to think much. If I don't hear from bff's sister in law prior to monday.........well, I'd already planned to go into the office on monday first thing anyway so that is what I'll do. I don't like to whine. I don't think I'm much of a whiner. (I hope) But this is one of the hardest most stressful times in my life. Most likely made more so because I don't feel like there is anyone I can turn to and just let it all pour out into a big long pity party like I could do with Fred or mother in law. As a result it is often overwhelming. It isn't really the loss of the material things so much. It is the loss of any security. No, thankfully because I prepare for emergencies, I don't have to worry about food ect. But the house is as important as the food.......the utilities just as important as the house..........

To cheer myself up I try to tell myself that probably most people could not have held on as long as I have thus far with as utterly little I've had to work with. I've reached the point though that even that doesn't make me feel any better. :( Because had I just let the house go after Fred died, perhaps I could've used the savings nest egg in a better way. (how I don't know) I keep thinking if that 6k hadn't come up missing at xmas time, we'd have a few more months to hang on.....a little more hope.......but it's gone and I don't know where it went. I thought daycare would be an answer, but everyone has the same idea.......the market is flooded with mothers/wives out of work who can't afford daycare bringing kids into their homes at rates there is no way I could compete with so for now that idea is gone as well. I'm going to stop there because if I go on it will only make me feel worse, and that is the last thing I need. [/QUOTE]
