I'm sorry you didn't get an interview, I know that you really wanted that job, and i know how it feels when it seems no one is giving you a break (been unemployed since i graduated in the summer :-( ) but cliched as it sounds, everything happens for a reason, and the perfect job will come along for you when you're not expecting it.

I give in.
I am getting there with OH. It's promising, but the not being sure of us is still eating at me.
My team at work has been blown apart and everything is different.
I didn't get the interview I wanted.
I am no further forward in paying off debts and having a bit of money set aside to spend on myself.
I am overweight and unhappy about it.
What is the point in all of this?!
The one plus point, I finished reading the sequel to Twilight yesterday and really enjoyed it.
I feel a need for danger and risk (I always play it safe) - the motorbike ride was called off on account of windy weather yesterday.
All in all I am left with a sense of "why bother".
KT.
ps. I'm beginning to sound bipolar aren't I?!:hello: - Proud to be dealing with my debts!:j DFW nerd No. 1011!
I'm back, and this time I mean business!

How would we go about such a task? I've already radically changed my diet in the last couple of weeks.No answers I'm afraid, but if things are looking positive with OH, it's not all bad.

KT - Why bother........................
Because your infectious love of life is amazing
You are really committed to your career
You find time to volunteer
You sound like you have a huge heart
You are thoughtful and kind
You are often gwfawwing or making us do the same
You are clearly talented, inventive and helpful
And to be honest I like you bothering cos I kinda like you!
