One Day This Week...

I can see that you are a kind girl.You maybe just need to wait for the responses.Believe yourself and try more,you will get a good job.Good Luck with you.

Think positive. You will hear from someone about a new job. Might take time but should be well worth it. I knew someone who was always complaining about her financial situation. She is a single lady and claimed she was unable to work. She did work away from the house, however, only to be paid cash. This way she could also collect her social security disability checks. I got so sick of hearing this and really wanted to tell her that if she got her duff and really worked she wouldn't have all these problems. By the way, she was able to physically work but somehow got around the system. Eventually I drifted off away from her friendship because my ears were tired..lol My suggestion would be not to let your co-worker intimidate you as far as hours are concerned. Venting is one thing but to continuously badger you with sympathy about money, is terribly annoying. Maybe you need to remind her that your hours were cut therefore your pay was cut. Sometimes tossing it right back helps. Have a good weekend, carolbee

Sending you my most powerful vibes!!!!!!!!!! Zap! (don't you wish it were that easy.) My prayers and best wishes go with you as I'm certain you'll find something soon, as will I.

This is a clear case of whinge and win. They are probably sick of the woman complaining and have given her the hours to shut her up. She is laying a guilt trip on her employers and she does not care at all for her colleagues so how come she is reaping the benefits of the extra hours. The thing is...people are at the level they want to be at. If they wanted a different or a better life they would make it happen....just like you are by going after another job. That woman will always be in debt...but you are a person who achieves things. Good luck with the new job, it's only a matter of time for the right one to be available.

I have ideal to look for another work like you too. Can you imagine the work I have to do right now? Sitting one seat, read and find mistakes in document, work alone. I'm very tired. I work 8 hours per day, everyday are the same. In the evening, I go to study English and Japanese. At the end of year, I have an exam to take a certificate of Japanese. At the weekend, I go to study at bank academy. I feel I'm too tired with this timetable

hi lily. i like the way you think about the other lady. that's true, if you can have another one, then you can at least share some of your hours to others. well, i will pray for you to get a position. i think you can have it in no time. good luck.

While I'm sure they mean well, I don't think it's fair that they are doing what they are doing. August for my husband and i was an expensive month, and for the last week, all we had in the house were a few eggs and a loaf of bread, but we made it go till we got paid again. I think it's nice they're trying to help her, but it should not be at your expense. Can you talk to human resources and see if what they are doing is legal?

I hope you get your other job. I know alot of places are just not in any kind of hurry to hire people. I think they have openings but are delaying on filling them due to the economy.

I've been getting 2 days and in a good week 2 1/2 to 3 days lately, too. 1 to 2 days working for a company that sells herbs, dried flowers, dried Chinese Lanterns (type of orange lantern-like producing plant), jams and jellies, etc. She loves having me around. She can get more jams and jellies done right now when she needs to be doing them almost full time. So I'm weeding, cutting the Chinese Lanterns, filling pillows with Balsom, etc. So she has time to do her jams and jellies. She goes to Farmers' Markets the rest of the days of the week, so I can't get anymore than one or two days with her (depends on how much my back and hands can take to determine the one or two days). Plus one day of cleaning for another Lady who has medical problems that make it so she either has to clean or take care of herself (she only has so much energy). As a Gatherer, I love the first job. As a person who hates cleaning, the $ and the knowing that I CAN do it and the other person would suffer if she did it, gets me through. I really like the second lady. It's not that I don't like the first one, it's that the first one must be all business to keep her business and she has to be able to tell me to do something and just have me do it so she can do her jams and jellies or else she can't keep her business. So one I do it because I love the job and the other I do it because I sincerely care about the person. Good luck, maybe you should go to somewhere like a state employment office and have them take an objective look at your resume, cover letter, and anything else you're sending out. They might be able to give you tips.

Don't feel bad for her. Most people I know that gripe about not having enough for food at home, have things like cable TV and cell phones, they use the AC at home, buy coffee or sodas etc. Very few actually economize and cut everything non essential from the budget.

I think if you both can't get enough work and you are searching work is great. If you are trying one job and they haven't called you, may be there is any problem. But if you don't get this job, try any other which may be good than this one or anything. You can try to get another job for that lady also at another place fo better earning. Such things must be faced and ways must be found. Thank you.
