Need to vent...

So, since we just moved out here, I don't have a job yet.  I've been using my days to either do stuff around the house or go "discovering".  I decided that today I was going to go to Michaels to see if I'd be inspired to do something creative (I wasn't...).  So, DH asks me at dinner what I did today, and I told him I went putzing around Michaels but didn't find anything.  His comment?  "Well, the grass seems to be getting kinda high, why don't you give the lawn a mow instead of wandering around aimlessly at a craft store...?"   UGH!  Now, I KNOW he didn't mean anything melicious by that comment (the grass IS getting high, and I was going to mow tomorrow), but it just got under my skin.  Thanks for listening to the rant  :)

Re: Need to vent...

  • I understand completely... vent all you need!  What kind of job are you looking for???? Maybe we all can help.... let me know if you need to ever vent... i log on here a lot now that i am addicted to it!!! ha ha

    Have you tried looking at idealist.org (probably already have!) but there's sometimes other jobs posted there than in the other non-profit areas.  Are you open to just working at a hospital in the meantime?  I'm in higher ed. so if you want to go that direction I can help!
