That's how I've been feeling the past couple of days. Everything in my life finally was starting to come together for me the past couple of months. I have an amazing boyfriend whom I'm totally in love with. We are living together and plan to get married once he finishes school. I have a whole new family. Since I don't get along with my family, my boyfriend's family have totally taken me in as their own and are so supportive and I fit right in it's wonderful. Things started getting pretty ****ty at work, so I started looking for a new job, and ended up getting hired as a preschool teacher at the local YMCA. This was a dream come true, as I'm currently an early childhood education major in college. So I put in my notice at my old job, signed all the paperwork for the preschool teacher job, got fingerprinted for my background check and got a physical. I was ready to start my new job tomorrow. Well, this past friday I was sleeping in as I took a 3 day break between jobs to relax, when my cell phone rings. I answer it and it's this woman from the district office of the YMCA. She tells me that they made a mistake and that I don't qualify for the position, and she's really sorry.

Well, first off, I am more than qualified for the position, so I'm not sure where that comes from, and secondly, she tells me this after I've already quit my last job. So here I am, unemployed, and furious at God and at myself for getting into this mess.

It's like, things were finally all coming together for me, and the second my life may actually be totally perfect and I'd be completely happy, God rips that away from me and here I am without a job or money completely dependant on my boyfriend and his family, and I'm just trying to figure out what to do now.

I'm sorry to hear about the job situation. These things happen for a reason. I'm sure something else will come along soon enough. The rest of your situation sounds great, 'tho! Be thankful for what is going right.

Hang in there!

Thanks hun. It's just hard because I've always had to be such an independant person because of the situation with my family. And it's hard for me now to step back and just mooch off of the people in my life that I love. I'm living with my boyfriend's family right now, and I'm not paying rent or for food. They are just paying for it all. I am so thankful, it's just hard to be taken care of when I'm used to taking care of myself.

When one door closes......another opens. I believe in fate, it wasnt meant to be and your next job will be the one you need for you and will be perfect!

bayareagirl, you know what a blunder you did, you are not supposed to quit a job without taking a new position letter from a new company.

your position was different then from now, but anyway go back and explain the whole situation.

Arriba,
There are always things in life we cannot understand. SOmethings just dont seem fair...Like you alot of times I would be angry with God...But Trust HIM...He has something much better for you.Apparently that job wasnt good enough for you...
If you truly believe in God and trust in Him you are HIS child..a child of the King. and the Kings kids deserve the finest.
I am sorry you got disappointed. That did sound like it was a position you would've done well at.Before you know it tho you will be thanking Him for not letting you into that job because something more amazing has happened.
After all look at all the other great things in your life.

Frankfk,

You got us mixed up. It wasn't me who quit the job. It was 'andalearriba'.

I had a letter...i signed all the paperwork for the new job and was supposed to start tomorrow. everything had been processed.

fight ur case go to the decision makers. It happened to me a very long time ago, I proved them wrong, they accept me but i did not join them, i got an another very good position.

take the summer off!!! Get a tan!!!! be free for once!!!!!

I plan on fighting it...the thing was that the girl that called me was just some peon from the district office, not the guy who hired me. And the guy that hired me and the girl that interviewed me both say i'm qualified, so i'm waiting for them to back me up on this one.

i m sorry bayarea

eat cake!!!!

after signing all the hiring paper work, you will win. Be strong on it.

Well, not necessarily...see, this is an "open work relationship" meaning i signed a paper saying they can terminate me at any time for any reason just like i can quit at any time for any reason. I had to sign the same paper for my past two jobs so I didn't think anything of it.

I understand it, what you r you saying, it is not termination or quitting, it all comes, once you start a job, ur case is different, you were hired and refused by the employer, without joining you a job.
Go a little bit deep in your situation, read all the hiring papers minutely.

andalearriba: I have found in my MANY years that it is much easier to accept and swim downstream than to question and fight the current. God has His reasons. Look back at other times in your life when you questioned the hand of God only to find out later that it was for your betterment.

I worked with a psychiatrist once (I was the nurse, not the patient this time...teehee) who told me something that has stayed with me ever since. "Acceptance is the key to optimum mental health."

Think about it...it is the things we have difficulty accepting with which we struggle and wrestle. The things we have accepted are no longer issues.

Keep us informed, I'm excited for your bright, new future!

Hmmmm so I must accept that I will always have stupid hair???

Gypsy, they are now offering llama-hair wigs that might solve your dilemma.

But you can only brush it with a specially designed llama hair brush that must be first dipped in heavy water.
