Nov. 9th, 2009 05:36 amHad a talk last night. Feel a little better about moving home now. Will check around tomorrow to make sure moving home is still a better deal than staying put.

Oh god, I love killing puppies so much.
Nov. 9th, 2009 09:20 pmSo. What's going on in your messed up life right now, Jenn?
Lemme tell ya.
About a month ago I got two large donations of $400 each. I'd hit my goal of finally being able to go home, and began making plans for it. At the time, I was planning to leave on November 4th, but suddenly I was called in for an interview with a good company.
The job interviewing ended up being an incredibly long drawn out process. At first there was a phone interview that went oddly. I'd put in for a job for tech support, but was being told that it was a job for web design. Which was okay, I could do both. The interview ended oddly, and I was pretty sure I'd not gotten the job. Lo and behold, I get an application to send in, as well as an aptitude test a few days later.
The aptitude test was insane. INCREDIBLY long.and took me two days to finish. The math part of it (MATH?!) got to a point where I just randomly clicked whatever I thought the answer was. Again, I wasn't to sure I was going to get the job And after almost a week, they called to let me know I had an interview.
The interview went incredibly well. The job wasn't web design, but tech support, which made me more condifende. The interview lasted two hours and was really in depth. I left there feeling like a million bucks.
Then came the background checks, and reference requests. At that point, and with the encouragement of a friend, I did something I shouldn't have done.
I got comfortable.
I began getting comfortable in the idea I would stay and have a good job in a few weeks. I changed my plans to "I'll leave when I get a NO from the job, but that won't happen, I'm a shoe in." I spent money a little more liberally.
Then a week went by with no contact. The one time I talked to them, they hung up on me. I became incredibly worried and depressed, the first of the emotional whiplash I'd experience that day. I waited all day Thursday for a call, and none came. So I took a shower, and they called while I was in. It was all staticky, and I couldn't hear a thing, but I felt all it could be was I Got the Job. I was happy as hell, but cautious (Whiplash 2).
The next day, I got a call frmo the job. I didn't get it. After almost three weeks, I didn't get the job. My references were great, my background check was clean, my interviews were tremendous...but they went with someone who had a background in their specific industry.
And that's when it all fell down for me. (Whiplash 3).
I'm angry. I'm angry and depressed. This has led to so many problems in my life, and my living situation and constant yo-yoing.
I need to call my former workplace and see if they have any jobs coming up. If the answer is NO, I'll be staying here. There's no reason to go back to Texas and get stuck in the same situation I am here, minus $500. If the answer is YES or I don't hear back from them, I'm going.
The reason I'm going on an "I Don't Know" response is, it's getting VERY late in the season, and the passes are beginning to snow over. If I don't leave soon, I'll be stuck here till Spring breaks (I can drive in snow, but the passes are dangerous, and the truck really isn't made for that kind of driving).
So that's the state of the Jenn....
