Hello all. I usually don't fill these out because of all the hostile feedback I get. Not sure why...
Family has been in the navy all my life, lived all over the US, though currently stuck in South Florida, which has not been the most enjoyable of experiences--looking to leave real soon.
Anyone ever been in a position where you feel stuck? I just got off cancer treatments about a year ago when I was still living in the midwest--went through a divorce, had to drop out of school, lost my job, got into a ton of debt with the hospital since I didn't have insurance...
But, got out of the mess. Wrote a couple of books, remarried, got healthy again...the debt remains, but I can deal with it. The one thing that bothers me is the job position. I currently have 3 right now, but they are all part-time, and minimum wage. School is out due to the debt. I throw my hands up in frustration; because while I have experience, education and certificates, I don't have a degree. Want to get a better paying job to go back to school and pay off debts, but I can't get a better job until I have more experience and/or a degree. Which I can't do until I fork out more moneys to finish the degree...
I wonder how people get out of this cycle?
As I sit here, at my one of my dead-end jobs (which, I am grateful to have, but a job with no raises or promotions is considered dead-end in my book) I boil and seethe with rage that I am the target of manager hostility. Managers, who want me to work and not work at the exact same time. I really don't get it. Corporate wants you at your job but they absolutely hate paying you to do it.
Huh. I look up at this and think, I really need to get a journal. Or a psychiatrist.

But seriously I feel for ya - I am in a job where I have not had a full time boss in 2 years and they are doing something in the background that may or may not include me. Yeah I'm union but where will I be placed. Heh. But hey talk back with us, k?
