Are you f'ing kidding me...

Not only did I get my period this morning, but...

About 15 hours after I quit my job that I LOVE for the one that's full-time, the mom of the new job calls me and tells me that her friend offered to watch the kids for free, so they don't want to hire me after all.

And my current job that I told I was leaving yesterday after stressing about it for a week and a half already found a new nanny who they knew was looking from Gymboree class, so they feel sad to lose me but they want to keep the new nanny starting in April since they know I'm looking for a full-time job eventually.

F***!!!!!!!

I just want to curl up in a heap and cry for the rest of the day.

  • Tongue Tied I'm sorry.  I hope you find a new family quickly, something has to come around for you.

  • WTF on the full time job!!  You don't do that to people!  

    Sorry about AF too.  Stupid AF. 

  • Um, what is WRONG with people???  You don't offer someone a full time job, know that they have accepted it and turned in notice at other jobs, and then change your mind!  I am so sorry. *hugs*

  • OMG. That sucks so much. I am so sorry :(

  • Huge hugs to you. That is a steaming pile of suck.

  • big hugs.  You need a "do over" for today.  I'm sorry, that new family is TERRIBLE for going back on their offer!
    no identifiable siggy pictures anymore, thanks a lot stupid nest!
  • I can't believe someone would do that, how terrible!!

    Sorry about AF showing up.

  • I'm so very sorry about AF.  And I'm so sorry about the new job.  But, and this is cold comfort I know, but I think you dodged a huge bullet.  They just showed you their true colors about how they would treat you.  You deserve a family that appreciates your skills, pays you for them and treats you professionally.  Still sucks the big one though.  I'm sending lots of juju that you find an awesome, high paying job soon.
  • Seriously, who does that to someone?  I hope that karma comes around and bites that woman in the a$$ big time.

    An even more incredible opportunity must be headed your way!

    Until then, big hugs, Z!

  • ugh...i'm so sorry to hear this!!!  Anne beat me to it but I was going to say karma baby.  You just don't screw someone over like that

  • I'm so sorry, Z!  "Sucks" doesn't really even begin to cover it.  I can't imagine how that woman could be ok doing that to you.  Here's hoping that Karma takes care of her and that something even better comes your way.

    This is what I'm trying to tell myself; that she would probably have turned out to be a b!tch to work for if she's willing to totally screw me over.

    I didn't tell the second family I'm with yet, so I won't be completely unemployed if I don't find something else, but I can't stand working for them and am miserable every second I'm there (the mom works from home and is crazy), so that's not a long-term solution, plus it's still part-time so I'd be making even less than I'm making now.

    Thanks for the support, everyone!

  • Oh no!  This is an awful day!  Sorry that AF is here (I was praying she would stay away for you!)  And I can't believe they would take your job away right after you put in your notice... who does that?

    Fingers are crossed that you find a new and full time job soon!

    Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

  • That sucks so bad!!! I am so sorry. I hope things get better for you soon.
  • That is so rude! Who does that?

    Sorry.

    I have a friend in Stapleton that just had twin girls that is considering a nanny in one or two months. she may not be able to pay your rates (not sure what price range she's looking for and what you charge), but I can get you connected if you are interested.
