Job Update

Okay, I am proud to say that I finally got my car back. Yay!! However, I am still unemployed. I'm trying everything with unemployment. I just got a packet from the unemployment center with the date of my hearing over the phone. Though its exciting to finally get a a date for the hearing its a bit nerve racking. I am scared that first the company I work for will be listening to everything I say. Then I am nervous that I won't get the money. But, I am hoping that I get a job before the hearing, well also that the judge I get will be very understandable and will go in my favor. But, I am learning still. I guess the whole hey I am a ld person (learning disable) is something the judge will need to hear. Yes, for those of you that don't know I am a LD person. I have been my whole life. But, I don't want that to define who I am. We all have our disablities right?!? I really don't let my disablity bother me because I want people to know me for who I am as a person not a person that has a disablity all her life. It was really hard for me for a while to even feel comfortable saying that I have one. I mean all the struggles I had when I was a kid. Then senior year of high school to have a learning disable counsler say to my mom and myself that I wasn't worthy of going to college because of my disablity. My mother and I had to fight againist that counsler just so I could go to college.

I love to say I can instead of I can't. One of the reasons why is because to many people when I was younger said that I couldn't do something. That I can't achieve anything. I have been wanting everyone that believes that to know that I can do something if I put my mind to it. My family of course know this and so do a few people. I don't want to say hey if you want to be my friend I just thought I would tell you upfront that I am a LD person. I feel the same way when people meet my family. Yeah, I am adopted but I don't broadcast it. Just like I don't broadcast to the world that I am a learning disable person. Its like those commercials say I want to be defined as a person not a person of a disablity.

Then after this whole ordeal with the uemployment should I metion that I am a ld person? I guess I can say you have to explain it to me differently cuz, I learn differently.

I look at this struggle as a learning experience though. Its been a blessing in disguise. Because of it I can look at my options. I want to go back to college. I've been thinking what though. I can't do anything about it though. Its something I can think about when I get a job and had the job more than a year. I guess I can stop paying my school loans and just get back into school but have a full time job with benefits. Also I am sick. I got the cold. Stupid I know.

Sorry for the ranting and raving. I just had to get this off my chest. Now that I have it off my chest I don't have to hash it out over and over again. I have said my peace. As soon as I get a job I will let you all know and you know what I am going to do? Besides celebrate and serve others and go Christmas shopping?!? I will probaly been doing my own happy dance. Okay, now being realistic. I will probaly go and want to celebrate me getting a job. Oh to joy on getting a job!

Not so Exciting news

Hey loyal readers!

So, I've been on a rollercoaster recently. Let's just say it started the week of my birthday. On that tuesday my work let me go. So, I'm currently unemployed. But, I'm working on getting another job however. I'm still a little shaken about the whole thing. I also got into a car accident that same week. The day before my birthday. So, I'm without a car at the moment. But, I will get my car back soon. My birthday was one of the best days of the week though. I have friends and family that made the day one of the best days. I do have a interview tomorrow though. That's all I really have at the moment. I will keep you posted as soon as I get a job. Just pray for me.
