R finally got word today from my cousin that he didn't get that job in her office. He can't even freaking get a job where he has family connections, WTF? Lately, I've been having the "my life sucks, why is this happening to us?" moments and he's been keeping my spirits up reminding me of my favorite motto, "Things could always be worse," but hell things are getting pretty damn bad. Of course today it was my job to try to raise his spirits but what in the hell do you say anymore. I mean it's been almost 7 months. I used to say "something will come along, don't worry, that job wasn't meant to be, blah, blah, blah, but even I'm questioning those statements at this point. I have maybe 2 good months left of subbing and I'm not so sure that's going to be enough. I'm at the point where I'm just mad:
- I'm mad that we moved back to MI to be closer to family. We thought we were doing the "right" thing for our family and relatives but hindsight sure is 20/20.
- I'm mad at my mom for telling me that I will scare my children if I were to move and take a job in another state and leave the family for a short time until R could find something and we could unload our house.
- I'm mad at his old work because they really screwed us and apparently no one there has a conscience.
- I'm made at the freaking unemployment because they are full of sh**. R was given the choice to quit or be fired, took his boss's advice to quit, and now because of that one recommended piece of advice he can't get the money that he is definitely owed after the things they put him through. I mean the man was getting physically ill working there, but according to the government "a normal person wouldn't have quit under those conditions." Like hell they wouldn't have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I'm mad at my husband too because he won't go get some menial job to help with the bills or something out of his field that maybe doesn't pay the best.
I'm just plain mad at pretty much everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh I'm so sorry R didn't get the job. Believe me when I say that I know how frustrating this crap can be. It's been 8 months of no job for S. There are no jobs out there for him. I get mad (and bitter) a lot too, especially about his stupid previous employer (which I know you understand!).
I wish there was more I could say, but just know that you're not alone, and someday this too shall pass.
So sorry about the job. We're rooting for ya x
