Starting to Feel Like…
I’m feeling like I’ll never find a stinking job. I’m also feeling disrespected.
I talked with an online friend today who seemed to think that the whole “over qualified” shit was just crap. That there’s no way I could be overqualified for the jobs I’m applying for.
I explained to her that I’m applying for anything, most lately the admin. assistant-type jobs (because that’s what there are most of) and she didn’t seem to think that I’d be “over” qualified for those.
This is a woman who’s never seen my resume, has no idea what my background or education is, and so I found it strange that she didn’t seem to understand what is going on with these interviews.
I can understand it for Christ’s sake. They think I’ll leave the job as soon as something more suitable comes along. They think I’ll be bored. They think that because of my background, they won’t feel comfortable asking me to make them a stinking coffee (or whatever the hell they’ll ask me to do).
Anyway, I was a little perturbed after talking to her. I guess she thinks that my knowledge level is equal to hers, not realizing how much more I’ve done and would like to continue doing.
On another note, I got a call from my daughter, crying, telling me that she doesn’t like her father… that she’d spilled some stuff and had to clean it up and got in shit for it.
Then I talked to the ex, who just a week or two ago told me that I was right when I talked about how he had to change the way he dealt with her. He was going to change. He was wrong.
And yet all I heard in the background was this screaming at the 12-year-old for not being responsible. Apparently she even takes drinks from the fridge without getting a glass. I pointed out that during our marriage, when he was in his 30s, he did the same thing.
“Yes but I didn’t spill it all over the floor!” he explained to me.
Both he and my daughter seem to think that whenever something goes wrong the answer is that she will come here to live. He’s always telling her to get out and she’s always saying that she doesn’t want to live there any more.
I am not the answer. And I’m not cleaning up that mess. As far as I’m concerned, some changes need to be made and I’m not going to be the easy out.
And speaking of respect, even the stinking paper clip in my Outlook doesn’t seem to think that I have a clue about what I’m doing.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
