Your poor sweetie. Kids can see things so clearly and the idiots don't want to. So sad that when it is all about them and what makes them happy, everyone else has to suffer.

Thanks, you guys! I was kind of surprised b/c I know my S15 is depressed about the D, but D9 always seems fine, always says her dad moving out was great b/c now she sees him more than she used to, she gets 2 birthdays and Christmases and things like that. I guess it only makes sense she has some sad feelings. Glad she feels she can share with me and her dad about them. (I photocopied the card and I thought I'd give it to her therapist, b/c she had kind of said the same thing: S15 is depressed and S9 wasn't as affected.
Yoyo, I've tried monster, and indeed. and every other job search place, the local papers, and bunches of websites of places I wanted to work. I found this latest one in the local paper. It was good b/c they had you drop the resume in person and I do well in person, I'm socially acceptable and all that & chatted with the receptionist. So that was good. I've heard the vets and vet techs there are nice, so sounds like it would be a good place to work.
Thanks everyone!!! I told a couple people around here too! I had the interview. The guy seems really nice. The receptionist and the tech that interviewed me had their dogs in the office with them! The guy interviewing me had 3 dogs in his office!!!
I'm not that confident I'll get it. He mentioned that he thought I was overqualified for the job, like why would I want to do what's a minimum wage job? I told him I was looking for a part-time job that I'd enjoy, and I probably would hope to get a raise at some point, and I could help out their receptionist if she was out sick or on vacation also. He said they mostly hire people with no experience and train them, and I told him I'm a quick learner. I told him the kids would be with their dad weekends I worked. He stressed the job gets dirty sometimes, I mean you know sick and injured animals and stuff, and I said I've had animals and kids so I'm used to that!!! He says he's interviewing several other people, and wants to decide tomorrow. He asked me when I could start and I said tomorrow if he wanted! But I might have made a mistake, I told him I would want next Tuesday I had already committed to helping out at the dinner they're having at the church Tuesday, but I normally wouldn't have anything like that b/c if I did get the job I wouldn't sign up for stuff during work hours. So that may have been a mistake, but that's the kind of person I am, and all, so if it's a problem, then maybe it's for the best. So don't know if I convinced him I'm right for the job, but I did my best, so I feel okay about it. But I wish the interview had lasted a little longer!!! Karen
Type the guy up a quick thank-you-for-the-interview letter. MAKE SURE TO GET THE SPELLING OF HIS NAME AND CORRECT TITLE RIGHT. Hand-deliver it. In the letter, retract your "can't-work-next-Tuesday" stip:
"One other thing: I mentioned to you that I would be unable to work next Tuesday due to a commitment I made at my church. If this is a problem, I will make whatever arrangements I need to make, because I would very much like to come to work for you."
Close by ASKING FOR THE JOB, giving your cellphone (or home phone) #, and telling him in that Karen-is-so-charming way of yours that "Why not get this off your to-do list now, and just hire me?"
And then INCLUDE one of those little smiley faces you like so much.
I'll bet you a cup of coffee in Tally someday that he calls you and hires you.
