For all those who have a job, be thankful that you have one. I've been unemployed for 3 weeks now. And you know what, it SUCKS. Even though I hated my last job,I actually liked going to work. Job hunting is not fun and I'm going slightly crazy trying to find another job. Whoever said "searching for a full-time job is a full-time job" definately knew what they were talking about!! Trying to find a decent full time job takes a lot out of you

This love hate relationship...

I love what I do. I like doing biological experiments on the lab bench... Being on the cutting edge of scientific research and disease that could help millions of people one day...

But my ambition is completely stiffiled (sp?). My Principal Investigator is NOT a micromanager... Nice guy, but NEVER gives direction. Which means I find my own. And when you don't have direction at my level, you are left floundering for years... And the whole nature of my business is publish or perish...

And PI is a whole lot better than the past maniacs that I worked for... They caused me to have a "seizure disorder"--which could be a panic attack because in scientific research most things do not work at all!!! So, why is it MY FAULT that I cannot read the mind of Nature (or God)??? So I get blamed for not doing the correct experiments...

But now, I have NO EXPERIMENTS going on and I am left wondering what the HAYLE am I gonna do because I am truly unhappy...

It leaves me thinking was I better off with those stressful tasks slave masters rather than a nice guy that pays me much more than those other (insert colorful language here)???

My job has more plusses than minuses, so unless I hit the lottery , I imagine I'll be here until they carry me out. But today, today has been bad!

I work in a small office. I usually do 6 hours face time, 4 days a week, then visit clients or am on 24-hour call. Our office is surrounded by other small businesses, which is cool - we literally set an alarm clock for the meter, since we know exactly when he comes around! That's the background.

We usually have mail to go out - both business & personal, and sometimes the mailman will take it with him. About four weeks ago, I had a lot of birthday & other cards, plus bills going out, but the mailman grabbed them before I could say that I'll take them to the post office. NOTHING from that pile has arrived!! No cards, no bill payments, no anything! Same thing for the business mail that went out that day - zip. So, I have spent most of this morning, calling Blue Cross, utilities, insurance, etc and paying them with the dreaded credit card. This really has me mad, because I knew that there was a lot of mail that day, and I had planned to go to the Post Office anyhow - and this mailman hates when any of us have a dog here - even tiny little Buffy the Wonder Dog. I'm mad at myself for not taking the mail off of him, mad that I had to use a credit card for bills, and mad at what could have happened to this mail. Grrrrrrr!!!!!

Look for a new job! It is a paycheck that's it. If you are really unhappy, work as a waitress for a while unti you can find somehting else.

To anyone having a bad day/week/whatever, I hope things look better for you. Try not to get stuck on the small things.
