I am very tired of being separated from my husband and only getting to see him on weekends. I know I have it much better than some people, like military families, but it still sucks. This started on January 1 of this year and as of now, I have no idea when it might end. I knew this arrangement would not be easy, but I had no idea it would be this hard or last this long. If I could find a job in Atlanta, I could join Justin up there.
I have been looking for a job for about six months. I know the economy stinks and now is the worst possible time I could be job searching. I guess I'm lucky since I do still have a job, but the situation surrounding my job search is crappy. Ideally, I would find a job related to interior design but because the construction market is so bad, that's not likely to happen right now. I have been looking outside of my field and have found postings for several "office" jobs. I find these jobs on "job websites" and get my hopes up that this job is "the one".
I applied for one today and kept checking my email (about every five minutes). I finally got a response and my mood went from hopeful and excited to annoyed and angry. The posting and subsequent response were spam. I was cautious after reading the response so I googled the responding email address and discovered that it was definitely spam. I was so disappointed. Other people have applied for "jobs" posted by this person and are as angry as me. Why do people do this to innocent and desperate people just looking for a job in an awful market? Why?! These people are beyond scum! It's hard to remain focused and positive when this happens and it's sad that today isn't the first time this has happened to me.
I know I should be thankful for what I have, but it's so hard when I don't have what my heart craves.
