I have applications pretty much every where, I have resumes out as well ... yet no one wants me. Sure let me volunteer, I am great at that ... just no one want so hire me. Just exactly what did I do to deserve this?

That just sounds pretty petty doesn’t it? Right now I can look out around the world ... we have those how are dealing with what a hurricane did to their homes, another one coming in, those dealing with wars in two countries, soldiers being sent to try to help them & here I am worried about getting hired so I won’t get "too bored."

It’s not just because I am bored, I truly miss working. After my stroke, I cannot go back to school until the therapy sessions are working or through (depends how you look at it) because I have to learn to keep what I learn in my head. But a job, that means I am doing some thing besides sitting here all day creating chores or activities for me to do. Getting a job means I can earn money, put it some more back ... & pay off my truck.

Instead here I sit after doing dishes & laundry, typing in an online journal waiting for my kids to get out of school ... at least about then my day picks back up. Cause for the last few hours it’s been pretty boring.

As for the job applications & the resumes ... You can only check on them ever so often. I think you push too hard & they shredded them or consider it close to stalking. Volunteering ... right now I am getting pretty boarded with that, it the same old stuff day in & day out. (Plus they are gossiping right now & I don’t care for it.)

I really think my sanity depends on this matter ... Job or to go NUTS.
