Frustration at looking for work

It is frustrating


To not be working someplace.


Bills keep coming in.

I feel for you. Am living 30k above my income. Eating my retirement before retirement time. I hope your paucity of words isn't an indication of your prospects. My twin brother has lost his job about 25 times for many reasons--most recently, two weeks ago. He always bounces back. Hope you can.

(((gustavo)))

just as maddening to be working for seven years and not get a raise.
just as maddening to be working for no benefits. NONE.
just as maddening to be working somewhere where you're not happy.

BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP WORKING BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CHOICE--THERE'S NOTHING BETTER.

just as maddening to find a better job without adequate transportation.
just as maddening to find a better job without proper education or experience.
just as maddening to find a better job when you're disabled.

excellent, power packed haiku--i'll pray for you if you pray for me

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :(

i know how you feel, gustavo; i have been there. not a fun place to be. but i am working now, and have been at my current job for 4 1/2 years. it isn't the greatest job, but i am greatful for what i have! being over the age of 40, not having a car, and being disabled, it is especially difficult for me to find gainful employment; but i now have a job, and i i will stick it out as long as i can!) good luck in your job hunting; you are in my prayers!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in tx., karen lynn (who has been there). :(

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
