Ss, you've put on the happy face so consistently the past few weeks that it's not at all surprising that things would catch up a bit to bring you down. Sit with your sadness a bit, especially since you've got the freedom this weekend to feel what you feel openly. It's all real and rational. The only way out is through.
I'm sorry for the hits you've taken with your daughter and the job. I've been there. It is no fun. (I can't believe they put that stuff in writing, it doesn't take an HR genius to notice it's 2014, duh.)
So something better is out there for you. With any luck the pittance job won't work out and then the platinum-plated super-job will fall into your lap and that part of your life will be grand.
I envy your daughter being so open about her feelings. My kids aren't and I'm really at a loss for helping them cope, just hoping I'm giving them what they need. So as hard as it is to hear your daughter's sadness, try to appreciate how healthy it is for her to express it. Sending you hugs for coping with that.
