I was just overly thrilled at having my first paycheck in seven months, so it was that balanced against uncertainty and you know how I feel about uncertainty.Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620935129369892579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-2669819302395658422007-05-02T10:35:00.000-07:002007-05-02T10:35:00.000-07:00Scully.

There are worse things, namely: being sucked into another crap job where they treat you as such. Don't lie on the app, who cares if they contact the jerks--you'l probably get it. And if they contact the current boss and you still don't get it, you can always quit. It's not worth the butt-numbing.

I really ...Thanks for all your advice and support! I really shouldn't shoot off blogs in the middle of an emotional crisis. I must add one caveat in my defense. I don't actually verbalize the profanity-laced sentences/rants that spring to life in my head. I at least keep that barrier in place. And I have decided that I would rather risk being fired than miss out on this possibility.Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620935129369892579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-43940068583518474752007-05-01T17:11:00.000-07:002007-05-01T17:11:00.000-07:00These are the days you wish you could crumple up ...These are the days you wish you could crumple up and put in the trash! I am sorry things are getting so complicated. But I think if it is something that you really desire, with a little help from the Big Guy, you should follow your heart on this one. I personally think there isn't a more tailored job out there for you then the art/museum one!

That's about all I can say. No, I can say...Um, wow! That's about all I can say. No, I can say more.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Blackjazz---don't lie. What do you care if your boss fires you...you hate the job. This is great way out. In fact, I bet you can have him "notarize" the document for you! heheehe. <BR/><BR/>Seriously, that's a crappy position to be in. But, you are still young and beautiful and there's no reason not to just go for it. Be happy NOW!ZBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625564550843745280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-82772915297914447552007-05-01T09:38:00.000-07:002007-05-01T09:38:00.000-07:00I agree with blackjazz.

If it makes you feel any better, bloody hell became one of my favorite phrases while living in the UK as well...I have now gotten to the point that I only say it in my head...but I'm not sure how to completely cut it out of my vocabulary.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09162001250228532697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18616564.post-23330125241015949932007-05-01T01:01:00.000-07:002007-05-01T01:01:00.000-07:00Thanks for making my life seem so simple :-)Since ...Thanks for making my life seem so simple :-)<BR/><BR/>Since you seem to asking for advice again, here some:<BR/>1. Don't lie. It's wrong and bad and is likely to end in tears.<BR/>2. Don't use bad language - even if it is Anglophile bad language. You can do it!<BR/><BR/>If only you were in the UK, I think things would be a lot easier. For a start, you can't be "fired" just because your boss is having a bad day and doesn't like your face. If you are, you can sue for "unfair dismissal". There are procedures to follow before anybody loses their job.<BR/><BR/>So, bearing in mind that I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to the US... I would find a way to write on the form the truth, which is that you've started a job but you're not happy in it. It's completely different from what you've done before and you wanted to give it a go, but it's not stretching you. Also, explain that you believe there's a reasonable chance of losing your job if they make contact with your current employer, so you don't want them to do that unless they're going make you an offer. Maybe there's somebody with whom you can talk to explain the situation.blackjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053535570328915580noreply@blogger.com
