You know, I'm just really having a hard time. I've been using a temp agency to help me find a job. In the past this one particular agency I have worked with has been very successful for me. So when I found myself looking for a job I decided to use them again. They are very quick to get my resumes out to as many businesses as possible and set up interviews etc. I was really enjoying this last place they had me at. Today they decided they did not need me anymore. I guess that is one of the risky things about starting as a temp and then getting hired permanently. I've never had a problem before though. Generally I have found a good position, did my temp 90 days and been immediately hired on permanently. I guess that wasn't the case this time. On Friday Caden's teacher called me in the middle of the day and said he was sick and needed to leave school. I handled it on my lunch break and it did not interfere whatsoever with my job duties. I guess that because I answered my cell phone it was an issue. Normally I would never have answered a personal call at work but I did see it was my child's teacher and thought I should see what she needed. The teacher never ever calls unless there is a problem. Anyhow, it ended with them notifying my agency they didn't need me anymore. I thought it was really silly. They said a few other things that didn't make any sense either. I guess it just wasn't meant for me. I have never had trouble finding or keeping a job before. I am actually a very good employee. I don't understand why I'm having such a hard time lately. My dad says it's because we are in a reccession. Whatever the case may be I am AGAIN looking for job. I applied for about 10 jobs today thru the Oklahoman and the agency is looking for something also. I'm sure something will pan out soon but now I have a major case of paranoia. I just don't understand why it's so hard all of a sudden. I'm pretty bummed out. Seems like lately I have so many people telling me that I am just not good enough. I've never really been good enough for my dad. My mom's family thinks I'm not good enough to be a real part of their family. Earlier this month I was fired and told I wasn't the right fit for their company, again not good enough. Now, because I had to be a responsible parent for taking a teacher's call I'm again not good enough. I think it's all a bunch of hooey. Frankly I'm quite frustrated. I just feel side swiped by life at the moment. I could use a prayer or two if any of you have a moment to ask God to help me out. I need to have a job to help my family survive. I need to have a job to set a good example for my kids. I need to have a job to relieve some of the stress Chris feels by supporting us by himself. I need to have a job to feel better about myself and know that I am a productive member of society. I am so freaking frustrated. It seems like the harder I try the worse things get! When it rains it pours or in my case makes a hurricane. I hope tomorrow is a better day. I hope the following weeks are better. I could really use some of God's blessings and a little good luck on my side. At least I know that there are people out there that do like me. I just can't figure out what is going on here. I'm stuck at the bottom of a big pit and I'm clawing to get out. I really hope that things start going my way soon. I'm depressed now. :(

I can relate. I have been unemployed for a total of about a year out of the last nine years. It was never the quality of my work, as I am damn good at what I do. But it sure does a number on the ego.
I got news for you. You are pleanty good enough. I don't know how anyone could think other wise, even though I know that they do. You are a very pretty young lady. You put your family first, and are a hard worker. You will find the right job. I have faith in you.
Any time you need to talk, I know this subject all too well. Let me know and we can talk.
Ok, I have a hard time believing you have never been good enough for your dad. No way. Your dad has always been proud of you. He's just your dad and that's the way he is. But he loves you for just the way you are. So just put that notion out of your head, right now.
As far as the job thing, I have experience with that also, and the only thing I can say is don't stay where you are not wanted. Trust in the Lord and he will see you through.
There is a reason you are going through this, the question is what can you learn?
In life there are hard knocks we all have to go through, it's how we take those knocks that count.
I hope you don't mind me saying when you are older things will be in a whole different perspective. You will look back and say, "What was I thinking?"
Keep your chin up and be proud of yourself.
I hope you don't take offense, but I think you're just a little high strung like me. Sorry, you probably inherited it from me.
Luv ya!
