Waiting. . .

Ok? SO I am unemployed yet again. Honestly I do have to say it is actually turning out to be quite the blessing in disguise.

I have been able to accomplish so much around the house that I can't imagine how I would have been able to do it all with a job. Also I think I got out just in the nick of time from my old job. Bad help, broken promises, and poor communication did not build a good foundation of any sort.

I have been going to interviews (I even have one tomorrow) and throwing myself into the job pool yet again. And I can't help but notice that I am getting turned down by more and more people that tell me that I'm pretty much hired, they just have one more person, and then "BAM!!" I sit around waiting for a phone call that does not come. I call but no answer. THAT IS NOT PROFESSIONALISM!!! AND IT REALLY IRITATES ME!

I have looked at this from all angles, being that I don't have a job I can do this. (I need more hobbies) Not once was I ever taught from other colleagues and employers that you should ignore a potential employee. I mean EVER!

Where does it say that if you lead someone on to think/believe they have a prosperous future with said company that:

A. Don't call them back when you say you will.

B. Tell them you just have one more interview to go through, but that will
"probably" be just a "formality" that you are the one we are considering more than likely, then never call back to say we're sorry we went with someone else.

C. Treat humans that are trying their best to provide for their family like absolute dirt beneath the heel of some smug, I have a degree kid you don't, attitude that is bartered solely off of a prejudgmental flop of a stereotype!!!

Is this a handbook, or a memo??? Did I miss the memo??? Or is it that good decent God fearing, and loving Americans really can't have the American dream anymore??? Its who you know, not what you know. And as far as I'm concerned I am a stranger in a strange land. I have no family here save for my inlaws and my wife. I am for all intensive purposes alone.

My one saving
grace is that I know God will not let me down, I just have to be still and know that He is God and that He will provide.

Don't misunderstand I am still searching for the right job. I believe in trusting my heart and going after what is in it. I am just very impatient! This world and its lack of understanding, and instant gratification mentality has just got me in a stupor that I was hoping I would not fall into.

Ironically I find myself wanting the instant gratification/cure for it. Funny eh??

No. I didn't think so either.
