Update on Me
I've felt like I've been somewhat MIA too. I was one of the unlucky ones last week that got blocked from here. I had my interview for that dream job and didn't get it. 
A few days before that I found out my unemployment claim was denied because "I quit."I filed an appeal but am just not hopeful. When that happened and I didn't get the job I got pretty depressed and was feeling down on myself. I've been trying really hard to stay optimistic, but it is so hard when bad things (the old job drama) happen to you and you don't know why. I'm just really trying to have faith that there is a plan for me. The next day after I found out I didn't get the job I was searching the want ads and found two openings at another Hospice I have been wanting to work for for a few years. I've applied a few times over the past few years and never heard back from them. I took the fact that they had two openings after my craptastic week as a sign and applied. I was called not even half a day later for an interview!! I went in this morning trying not to expect too much and get my hopes up, especially after the interviewer said they would do a second round of interviews and later said they have been getting a lot of applications from my former co-workers because there is about to be a second round of layoffs, but at the end of the interview she said she definitely wanted to ask me back for the second interview and asked my availability this week. She also remembered my application from March that I had sent in. She spent a lot of time talking about one of the positions and said she felt it was a good fit for me. I'm really trying not to get too excited, but this just feels so right. At the very least it's been a huge energy boost for me.
DH and I pretty much decided if I don't get a job in the next month or so, I'm probably not going to get one because the competition is just getting ridiculous (like 100 applicants per job, for jobs 2 years ago that would be lucky to have a handful of responses). DH's job got extended in San Francisco for a few more months at least, so his per diem money is taking a lot of stress off and it should give us the opportunity to get completely (well, non-necessary debt) free before the assignment is up, which will allow me to stay home with the baby if I chose to. So send me good thoughts and some more job dust for this position. If I get either position it will be part time and will allow me to stay home with LO too, which I'm thrilled about!
