I'm here to tell you...I think you're won...Hi, Ava! I'm here to tell you...I think you're wonderful, awesome and I love your sense of humor. You have such a gift for words, it's inspiring.<br /><br />I've been where you are. I graduated with a degree in Dairy Science. I paid my way through college by milking cows, feeding calves at the dairy unit and working in the school's creamery making ice cream. When I had that piece of paper in my hands, I thought the magical world of jobs would open up and shower a magnificent career upon me. Um...I too faced a long wait! LOL<br /><br />After racking up the $$$ in loans and washing cow poop out of my hair for 4.5yrs, the best I could manage to get was a job being a demo girl at grocery stores for Foster Farms. I hawked OJ, yogurt and ice cream. *sigh* Then, I had a friend hand me a card to a head hunter. I called and within a month was hired as a lab tech testing bottles of...booze!!! It took me at least another 9m of testing malt beer before I got a job in my career of choice. I became the foreman in a QC lab of the world's largest mozzerella cheese company.<br /><br />*heehee* Only to throw it all to the wind and stay home after I had our first baby three years later! LOL <br /><br />It will happen, Ava. I know it will. If you ever need a cheer leader...I'm always good for a laugh! I'll be thining of you and wishing good thoughts your way.Sarah Simashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702070733137961412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450089095575757067.post-50171137889559774632009-04-26T20:57:00.000-05:002009-04-26T20:57:00.000-05:00Ava! It's all right. I'm so sorry that you've had ...Ava! It's all right. I'm so sorry that you've had some many losses so close together.<br /><br />And the economy sucks. It's so hard for people to keep the jobs they already have, let alone find another one if they get laid off.<br /><br />If you need someone to bounce ideas off of, just email me. My muse isn't cooperating the most right now so maybe we could help each other out, LOL If you just want to chat, bitch, moan, whine, I'll listen to that too.Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450089095575757067.post-50451487483803203692009-04-25T06:22:00.000-05:002009-04-25T06:22:00.000-05:00Just surfed in via link on castleinthesky yahoo gr...Just surfed in via link on castleinthesky yahoo group.

In a way I guess it feels safer to voice the aggrivation here, my husband knows it already. <br />Thanks for the words of encouragement, and I may take you up on the offer in the future.<br />When it rains, it really pours and unfortunately alot of us are in the same damned movie scene--standing in the rain waiting.Ava James ~Romance Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823685055091430641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450089095575757067.post-89128527183761364792009-04-24T22:58:00.000-05:002009-04-24T22:58:00.000-05:00Aw, Ava...Life hasn't been very kind to you lately...Aw, Ava...Life hasn't been very kind to you lately. You've had more than your share of losses. *hugs*<br /><br />The economy sucks right now. We are dealing with it too. It is so hard for everyone to find their niche in the job market. <br /><br />I wish I had some wonderful thing to post that will give you something positive to think about, but everything I thought of just sounded silly to me. <br /><br />You are right though, and your muse will show up one day when you least expect it...when it does, grasp it and run with it. One thing about living in the world today, you can know that there are others out there experiencing similar set backs. It is real nice of you to post yours, because it makes those of us feel not so alone.<br /><br />If you ever feel like talking, brainstorming, or just want to bitch with someone. Feel free to contact me. :-)Debra Kaynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362647937524679472noreply@blogger.com
