So freakin' stressed out...
... all I want to do is eat. And sleep. And cry.
I don't know what's going on with the interview from Monday, and my mind travels down to negative places which just gets me more depressed.
I don't know about my current job, and I hate sitting here with nothing to do because I feel like it just makes me look more expendable. I'm currently scanning my old files and even that work is running thin...
I'm not feeling 100%, Sam's sick (again) and when Chris works late (again) it leaves me to be the only one at home to care for her, so I'm not even in a place to relax, or eat, or wind down until he gets home and/or she goes to bed, whichever comes first. And then by that time I'm just so damn exhausted I don't want to do anything so I end up going to bed myself. After eating crap.
And school, though I'm getting the work done, is just one more thing to add to the long list of crap I have to think about right now. And having and unsupportive husband who comes home late, makes himself food, and then sits in front of the TV or at his computer for the rest of the night while I'm left to my own devices does not help.
Sorry guys... I'm trying really had to be positive but it's so, so hard... I guess I really just needed to vent right now to give me something else to do other than stalking my email for a potential 2nd interview email.......
Ugh.
Re: So freakin' stressed out...
Stand up for something you believe in.
I seriously can relate- I actually saw the positive post and almost cried- I have been MIA lately because of it and I hate it.
I am the only one that has a vehicle Charlotte can ride in- with me stuck at work late this week I have had to beg Mark to get home early enough for the babysitter to drop her off. Work is stressing me out and I just want to cry. I just found out at 11am that my yearly review is due Monday. I am out of time on like 16 projects and I cannot stand it. I just dont make enough money for this sh*t.
Hang in there lady. Positive vibes for the job- you know you deserve it! Hopefully the worrying about both situations will be for no reason!
I have asked, and sometimes I feel like it's talking to a brick wall. He'll help out more on his terms rather than when I need his help. Like I'll ask him to help with dishes, but it could take a couple of days with dishes piling up in the sink before he decides its time to get to them. Just stuff like that. And gods forbid I'm stresssed out, because then he just chocks it up to me being anxious, taking things too seriously, over-thinking, over-reacting... take your pick.
We went at it last night, I went to bed angry, and I woke up with an email telling me what I did that bothered him.... I just wish he felt like he could talk to me about this face to face rther than having to write it in teh email but apparently when I'm stressed he doesn't feel like he can talk to me about things because he's not sure how I'll react to them. Case in point.
He did mention that some of his actions last night were not the most supportive and that he will try, but it still doesn't help with how it made me feel...

It may seem early, but I know the girl that's leaving is leaving because she wants to go back to school. She's currently part-time, looking to train someone asap so she can officially give notice. They told me they would make a decision soon this week...
If I don't hear by Monday, I'm going to follow-up Tuesday. Sadly, I already have my rejection response prepared.

I'm sorry you're so stressed MB and I can definitely relate to almost everything thats stressing you out.
I've been in a really bad place the last few weeks myself. I know time is ticking down to when I lose my job, and yet of the dozens of resume's I've sent not a single one of them has even sent a rejection, let alone called for an interview. And these were jobs that I would fit perfectly in, both skill wise and personality wise. It's been so discouraging, and I'm afraid I'm going to end up underemployed at Target again, doing a monkey job. Add to this that I get almost no time to myself since during the day I work and watch Phoenix, then switch to just watching Phoenix at 5, and make dinner pretty much every night because J's schedule usually has him working closing shift and almost never off on weekends...ya, I'm pretty much fried and have spent most of January in tears.
Sorry, didn't mean to take your vent. If anything, just know that you are not alone with having a difficult time right now (seriously, I think Jan and Feb are the most depressing months of the year...every.year) and just hang in there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, for the job you interviewed for.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
I am so sorry you are feeling so stressed, I hate when I feel that way myself.
As for the job I would take not hearing a good thing, if they weren't going to interview again they probably would have sent an email or called saying they were going a different direction or with someone else.
Anyway they would be fools to no want you.
This is actually not the case in my experience... there have been a couple jobs in the past where I interviewed, heard nothing, followed-up, was told they were still reviewing the interviewed applicants, and then never received an - I'm sorry, but we chose someone else- email or phone call or letter. *le sigh*

I do have a massage/facial Groupon Chris gave me for Christmas I haven't used yet....
updated 10.03.12
Do eeet! Even if you only relax for the time of the massage, something is better than nothing right now. And if you do that, then Chris has to watch Samma. Otherwise Niners are going to show up and kick his asss.
I'm sorry dear. I understand where you are coming from. With Floyd's crazy hours and him being in school, he isn't home until long after Weston is in bed any day during the week and works every other weekend, so it's all me 24/7 (literally since he also comes to work with me). I understand how exhausting it can be. I try to relax for like an hour after Weston goes to bed and have me time ( crochet, watch tv, play games on my phone, have so hot coco and Kahlua, etc) before going to sleep. I know you also have homework but maybe you can fit a little time in??? I also try to clean up as I go throughout the day so I don't have to do a lot of 'chores' at nap time. Just some ideas.
I really do pray that you get the job. Have a drink and try to ease your mind.
