Went to job interview yesterday, hoping to increase my work from 16h a week to 32+. Thought I had it, but call today said no sry, u just been pipped. U were our second choice for the part time gardener position. Man it sucks fucking balls! An hour + interview, an old family friend works there and put in a good word for me and still no joy. I'm really not happy! I want work bad! And I want sumthing that I can get a loan out with, not just sum shitty nitefill job a coles which I didn't fucking get either! Am feeling quite disheartened.:(

Well, I'm pretty certain I'm about to get a job...got called in for some training.

Its essentially a crap job. contact centre.

I'm doing it to more easily get a job when my security license comes through, always easier to get a job when you already have one eh? so it's a means to an end and also financing a bit of an...indoor garden setup...

Then early next year i'll be continuing my companion animal studies - want to work in the rspca in the end.

So right at this moment. Unemployed.

As off later in the week, p/t while studying in personal time.

a few years ago I quit doing what I was doing because it sucked. It sucked for my body, my mind and for the planet.

I spent a month thinking about what I would do next, searched online, talked to people, thought some more and eventually decided that I wanted to do something that was meaningful and helped the community and the world, (in whatever small way I could). From the decision things opened up for me and one situation led to another - training, job, another job, more training :) there was a time where I had to pinch myself and acknowledge that I was, 'on the inside' and noone had noticed hehe.

but yeah, I found my calling at least for now and it's nice to be able to make a difference. Fuck yep I'm going to say it again, fuck doing meaningless jobs for the man and grinding yourself into a pulp for nothing other than money. I'd rather be poor.

It´s funny that i just had a very similar conversation with Torsten this week. Makes me think that more people on Earth are struggeling with this kind of Problem. Im working 45 hours a week in a fucking souleating job that leaves me no personal life and i hate it. But as soon as i stop doing it, i might be fucked even more. I have no idea what´s the right thing to do but i feel like i cant go on with that job anymore. What would you guys do? Go on and do a job you hate or risk it and try to get something else? A was always a safe player but this time i think i might say "fuck it!". bye Eg

my take would be to make sure you have enough money in the bank to get through a little while, or get on unemployment benefits if you've got them, and do some serious soul searching. For me it was a matter of trusting that what was right for me would unfold and it did. Trust was the key - oh and a fair degree of being rational also! No point chucking the whole thing in with a couple of kids to support and then wondering why everything isn't falling into place and you are getting more stressed!

look for the signs i reckon :)
