This is the thought of the day; actually since last night. Feel like smashing, kicking, throwing, or hitting something (and/or someone) so writing this blog seems to be a much smarter thing to do. Besides, it’s good therapy and lets me vent, but do apologize to my few unfortunate readers who will have to put up with these few paragraphs of acute frustration.
So, three guesses. Mom says I shouldn’t write about everything, and this time she might be right. The job that was the be-all and end-all to my existence. Even had a few calls for interviews from companies I previously submitted applications to which were promptly turned down because of this great job I just landed. (Opportunities I needed many months ago when the job hunt was producing zero results.) This job--not so grand after all. Delayed in starting. Business down. Hours cut. A discombobulated mess. A dog that seems to run the show. Who brings a pet to work anyway? It may be all the rage (at least in that area) but doesn’t work for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love animals, but not in a place of business that has nothing to do with the zoological field. (If my boss were to read this now--“To the unemployment line for you, Babe!”)
Although the owner/boss is very nice, it’s not worth going 21 miles for only 20 hours a week, in the hopes of being full time down the road (which I doubt will ever happen). Hate the commute and the wear and tear of the motor vehicle. And right now it is necessary for me to stay close to my parents. So, tomorrow, here I go again. “Sorry, but…..” and will stay until she gets somebody else.
But I do know things could be much worse, and this seems to keep me motivated and not to give up.

You are right, you will find the right job. And you won't be sorry if you give your Mom and Dad your time now.
Sorry about the job. Another one of those "too good to be true" offers. It's so easy for someone to offer, quite the other story to deliver. But I agree with Janice that you'll not regret caring for your mom and dad. That is treasure in heaven!!
I am with Janice and Greg. You don't know what is around the corner and time is what you will have with you Dad and Mom. And think, if you got that new job right now, would you be able to ask for time off? So cheer up!! Life really doesn't suck, it's just sticky sometimes.
