I haven't heard back from them No! not even a curtsey call, and no contract from the headhunter, hay you win some! you lose some! right!
Yeah, but there's far more losing than winning going around in this nation right now...
Things is I have been sending resumes out for over 2 years just like a lot of people, and the company I do subcontract work for has slowed down to almost a stop for now, so no money coming in for me right now.
Over a year here and guess what? Not ONE response...except for one that got back to me about four months after the fact (couldn't even remember who they were) and got a 3 month contract position out of it. Now I'm back to sending out but not hearing back on anything...professional...general labor...nada. And my unemployment has run out recently too.
Right about now I shoud just not give a crap about anything, but that won't help anything will it.
Apathy is a nasty state to get in to...been there, done that, and trying hard not to fall back in to it. Everytime I feel like saying "Fuck it....doesn't matter anyway" I try and remind myself there are a lot of people who have it way worse than me in this very same city and that things get darker before they get light. Kind of cheesy and typical but it's been working for me so far, maybe because I can't afford to let myself get apathetic? But it's hard when you know you're a good worker and capable of doing the jobs you apply for yet there's no work to be had...it makes you feel useless, a man without a job is, as I've said before, an empty shell...without a purpose (except for family I s'pose). I feel your pain man, that's what I'm trying to say without sounding like every Tom, Dick, and Harry who have tried to keep me optimistic over the last year lol. It's even worse because there's a lot of people with the attitude that if you're unemployed for so long then you must just be lazy and worthless...usually those people are also the ones who still have a job and don't really understand what has happened in the US AND around the globe. It makes me want to kick their teeth through the back of their head at best...
I'm going to go and get (fucked up) I haven't drank for a few years! but I think I need a few belts of something strong the pressure is to much for me! I've been holding back for over a year now and can't even tell you how I've been able to contain myself for this long! time to loose the dog of war!
Roseman is right, it doesn't solve anything but so long as it doesn't become a regular thing I don't personally see anything wrong with trying to drown your issues for a day. I don't really like going that route as alcohol just makes it worse for me but to each their own. However if you've had problems with alcoholism in the past I strongly caution against it.
Just know you're not alone...even on these forums! If you need someone to complain with shoot me a PM lol, misery loves company eh?
