Advice for Going From Pt/Hobbyist to Ft (Warning - Lengthy Post)

[kearstin]

Gosh, I am just floored by all of the horrible work-related experiences!!! I knew I wasn't the only one to go through something like this, but who knew that it happened so frequently?!?!?!?! I will keep all of you in my thoughts and hopefully we'll soon be posting that things have fallen into place just as they were meant to.

Thank you ALL for your advice, kind words and offers of prayers. As of about an hour ago I dropped off my resume to the local court house where there is a job opening that I would really like to have. My husband has called in a few favors so this seems to be the most promising opportunity on the horizon as of right now. I plan on continuing to look at stepping up my PC business, but after looking at the bills, etc. with DH it just doesn't seem feasible just yet. Keep your fingers crossed for me on the job at the court house!!!

Thank you all so much for your care and concern

Hey Kearstin,

I was just reading your post. I hate to hear about what is going on with your job. I am feeling the same way you are. I have been hating my job now for months. I keep thinking things will get better and they never do. What is funny is when I started getting on this sight and reading about what everyone else was doing to get bookings I decided hey I didn't think of that I can do it. I have been really starting to come around in this business. I was also a hobbyist, however I have found out I enjoy this job so much better than my full time job. But what is funny is you are the one who suggested this sight to me. I am in your group that meets at Lauries. I was going to thank you for that the next time we had our meeting.

So Hang in there. I hope it can work out for you. Believe in God and believe in yourself and nothing is impossible.

Amy -

I'm so glad that you decided to check out the site - it is such a wealth of information AND as evidenced by this post, such an awesome group of people who truly care!!! It's amazing because many of us never have and never will meet face-to-face, yet we all treat each other like friends and family.

I hope that stepping up your PC business will allow you to get out of your crappy work situation.

See you soon!
