Friday Roll Call

Gosh darn I have a husband that thought 1am was morning and he woke me up. Jeeezzz, still sleepy.

Not much going on with me. Work, Legion fish fry and sleep in on Saturday.

What is happening in your neck of the woods?

Happy Friday,

All I have on my plate today is fixing a couple of things to take to the Seder tomorrow evening, and to get ready to meet friends and family for dinner in Dwight this evening. Otherwise, I am sure I will find something to do.

Hugs,

Hello Friends,

It has been a weird week. I was offered the position I spoke of on Tuesday. 

On Monday, in the first interview with the wife, a 31 y/o chiropractor, I was told i would work from home doing all the billing. She told me I had the job, but had to meet with her husband, the owner of the company the next day.

On Tuesday, the husband, an 82 y/o millionaire, who insisted on interviewing me in his Porsche Panamera, wanted to talk to me alone. He told me with a smile on his face, that he didnt trust fat people, had never employed a fat person and only would consider me because his wife always gets what she wants and she wanted me. He also told me since he didnt trust me, I would be working from his office in his house in Naperville, not at my home. He also told me in his former life he was a professional assertive coach and charges 10s of 1000's of dollars to teach people to better themselves and he would allow a 3 month stint on a 1099 ( because he doesnt hire fat people) and if I lost weight from his free training he would consider hiring me then. I was stunned and went home and sobbed as I told my husband the story. G wanted to call him up and tell him off, but i said I would handle it. The next day I called Dr. Emme and told her i couldnt take the job. She begged me to meet with her and when I did, she was so angry when I told her what happened. She told me her husband was an a--hole and if i gave it a chance she would make sure I worked from home. But i couldn't. I worked for a bully for 12 years and gained 100 lbs. i knew I would be miserable. I have more interviews coming up. But the remarks from Van have made me second guess my looks. I wonder if i am too old and fat to be ever considered again for a decent job? I'm 57 y/o and weigh 250lbs. Who can look past that see I am still a person with value? I am praying about it.

Tonight we are having a 12 hr prayer vigil at church and i will be trying to see how long I last. It goes from 7p to 7a on Sat. Keep me in your prayers. i will be also praying for all of you as well.

I worked at the auction yesterday.  It's a very physical job and my body aches the next day. i feel like i have been dancing all night, when I awake the next morning. Isnt that a hoot?

Going to go take a nap since I will be awake all night (hopefully)

Hugs my dear ones.

May our Father bless each of you today.

Sharon, no one ever deserves to be treated like that, EVER! Not a place to work and not worth the stress! Of course you can get a job at 250.  Our medical school hired lots of women weighing way more than that! There's a job for you that God has in mind for you and obviously it's not available at this moment! Hang in there!

Connie

Hugs Connie. Thanks. It was just what I needed to hear!

OMG!!!!!

I agree with Connie 100%.  God has a plan for you, never doubt it. 

No one has to be treated that way.  You are worth more and do not need any added stress.  The right job will come along.  I would take this as a lesson (of some type).

My job is a challenge so far in many ways.  Not really negative, but different.  I am keeping an open mind, hoping that God put me here for a reason.  BUT.......I have been treated with nothing but respect from every single person I have encountered so far.  That guy you spoke with has more than a few loose screws!
