you guys are fantastic

I just wanted to say that.  I've been complaining a lot lately about job hunting and getting too much advice, but I wanted to clarify that my point is just that job hunting is difficult, disheartening, and tedious, and it's easy to take that out on the people who are trying to help.  That help, though, is invaluable.

Anywho... just wanted to share that.  :)

Love,
Crystal

blugh.

So it's ten 'till six and I haven't heard anything from Kelly Services except that they got my resume to the company in question late yesterday afternoon, and that was when I called this morning.  I know it's silly to feel disheartened by that, and that I'll probably hear SOMETHING tomorrow (I'll give my recruiter until 4pm to call me), but I was hoping to hear something today.  It's been a week and a half, which isn't THAT long, granted, but I'm broke and the thought of $15 an hour was REALLY encouraging (I've never made that much before.)  Images of nicer apartments were dancing in my head. ;)  I know it'll only be a temp position even if I DO get it, but still... the chance to be able to actually build a savings and pay the full amount on all of my bills and knock out some of my delinquent debts... it's just a hope that feels REALLY nice.  I just hope it's not another carrot being dangled in front of my face.  I'm getting really sick of those.  =P

I've been poor all of my life (well, by American standards.)   I feel like I've owed money to people since I was 12 (wait, I have.)  It'd just, be nice to at least have my head above financial water. 

And no, please don't offer financial advice.  Trust me, I know how to handle my finances, NOW.  The problem is that I didn't know it when I was 18 and I'm still paying for that.  Well, hell, I didn't know it when I was 12 and I'm still paying for it. =P  I've been scraping my way up from the bottom and I feel like I've hit about midway out of "the money hole".  I don't even have THAT much debt, it's just that some of it is delinquent debt.  And there are a lot of things that I want to do to better my life but I'm going to have to wait until I have the money to take care of several problems FIRST. 

In the meantime, I'm tired, and yes, disheartened that I haven't heard anything from Kelly today.  Guess I had my hopes up pretty high.  =/  I'm sure I'll hear something soon.

Still hopeful,
Crystal
