hard
to
get
a
job...i
dont

a
prison
record
and

job
or
off...i
see
people
with
less
experience
getting
hired...i
cant
get
a
job
in
another
line
of
work
cause
they
see
my
training

in
my
line
of
work...so

be
losers....to
have
their
lives
be
sh*t...is
it
neccessary...to
balance
out
the
winners
in
life....am
i
serving
a
purpose
being
a
useless
piece
of
sh*t...a
loser..how
am
i
supposed
to
feel
good
about
about
myself
when
no
one
wants
me...how
am
i
supposed
to
see
my
self
worth
when
no
one
else
can...and
how
are
my
kids
supposed
to
be
proud
of
me....look
up
to
me...when
i
have
nothing....am
nothing...if
i
didnt
care
or
wasnt
trying
it
would
be
different....but
i
care
more
then
anything...and
i
want
to
work
more
then
anything...and
no
one
will
give
me
a
chance....no
one....i
want
my
kids
to
be
proud
of
me
and
i
cant
think
of
one
reason
for
them
to
be....and
i
see
my
history...my
destiny
laid
out
in
front
of
me..another
month
or
so
of
being
out
of
work...feeling
like
a
loser....my
kids
ashamed
of
me...and
then
i
shoot
myself...the
worst
part
is
i
cant
do
anything to
change
it...not
a
thing...
Being a loser is not a destiny. It is what some are willing to settle for.
Obviously, this is not the path you want to choose. Jobs are hard everywhere, and not know what type of work you are referring to, your field may be very slow. There are tricks to getting an interview and I know about the ones in my area of work. Would be happy to share if you want, maybe some would work for you.
Nothing to be ashamed of. What are you showing your kids....someone that is not giving up because the going is getting rough. You are showing your kids that you believe in yourself, even if it SEEMS that no one else is and that is a very important lesson for them to learn.
You want your kids to be proud of you, what better reasons for your kids to be proud of you. How many parents out there never even bother to consider what their kids think of them. How many parents out there never understand that they are the role model and it is not what you tell your kids, it is what you do during the hard times that shapes your childrens image not only of you, but of them selves. (He kept trying when everyone else gave up. instead of my dad just gave up so that must be what everyone should do)
YOU ARE NOT A LOSER. And you are the only person in total control of your destiny. You are so much more than a job, or any one thing. Yes, the job is nice, needed to pay the bills, but people are so much more than that.
yes u can thumper. just keep on pushing the doors down. no one is ashamed of u- that is your depression biting at your heels. how can anyone not look up to u for trying so hard? i know i do my friend. i am back around if u need someone...janet
Please don't give up. I feel the same way sometimes. But I keep believing anything is possible, and that something will eventually come along.
I work through about 2 different temp agencies, and they usually give me part-time or full-time hours at different work assignments. It's better than just staying home and passing loads of time.
Is there anyway you can do contract or temporary assignments in your field? or in something relative to it?
