When There's No Job in Sight on Job Sites

I cannot tell you how many job sites I have posted my resume to, but it's a lot, and I am constantly bombarded by the less-than-helpful hints from most of them. Let's face it, those sites are geared more towards the younger job seeker and not someone who has been working since dirt was invented, right?

I lost that loving feeling for being home a long time ago, and whatever shred of optimism I may have had in the beginning has entirely vaporized...especially in this crazy heat wave. I've answered over eight job postings from my former employer, and have gotten only one phone call from HR when they politely told me that golly, you'd be so surprised of all the people who have applied to this posting who have actually done this exact job...yeah, right. In other words, don't call us, and we're likely never to call you. So much for the "think of it as a long vacation" crap that the HR director gave me before I left.

I am not a stay-at-home person...I need to work for the money, but also for me...this is a big part of who I am, and not contributing to the household finances is not real cool at all. I don't care that much for shiny floors and dusted furniture, although my house is way more organized than it's been in a long time.

Puhleeze, someone hire me and not to bring your pets to the vets!!! Aaauuuugggghhh!!!
