Hooray for Isaac!  He has the nicest smile and seems so genuine.  Isaac, if you read this, you are awesome!

I'm so excited - the show is today!  I'm going by myself too. I'm used to it but it's always a bummer waiting in line by yourself. 

That is true.  I guess that's why I came here to gripe.  I feel I need to vent, but not to someone I really know.

Yes, I agree feet can be beautiful and I also agree that I have very beautiful feet and should be a foot model. :p  But when a random stranger walking around downtown stops and exclaims, "You have beautiful feet! GOREOUS!,"  it's a little strange LOL

I've never been asked anything weird, but a few weeks ago, some random person told me I had beautiful feet. 

Was he closer to those people? Maybe he didn't feel close enough to you and felt you would judge him or maybe he thought it just might be awkward to stay friends with you.

Thanks, Trish.  I didn't realize so many people got fired.  I've known people who got laid off but not so many who have been fired.  Are you in charge of hiring people too?  When someone applies for a job and indicates that they have been fired, what really happens to their chances of getting hired? 

ugaswkr:I worked at a nonprofit organization before.  I left that to work at a trade college.  The two work environments couldn't be more different.   

The thing that's tough for me is I didn't go the traditional route with psychology (i.e. clinical or counseling).  The route I went down leads to interesting work and is an emerging, but still very obscure field. I was considering contacting my previous supervisor, not so much to get my old job back, but just to say hello and tell her I would be needing her for a reference.  I had considering getting a doctorate clinical psychology even before everything happened.  Maybe what happened was a sign...

Got my degree in Psychology and my concentration was very loosely related to the job I'd been terminated from.  My coworkers had completely different backgrounds from mine.  I, naturally, have some nasty things I want to say, but probably shouldn't.

The worst part is I left a job with a good reputable organization for this one because this one paid more (not a lot, mind you, just a little more).  Now I'm getting paid nothing. 

I intend to mope around just for today - tomorrow I hit the pavement.

I was fired after my 30 day trial period.  I did feel like the job was a bad fit after a few weeks working there and I felt overqualified because I didn't use any of the skills I had learned in previous postions and in grad school. 

Trying to see the silver lining - I've learned that I need to really research the job and organization and ask the right questions during the interview before taking it.  I also need to learn to not take the first job I am offered - but that's hard with the economy the way it is.  Now, I have time to look for a job I am perfect for.  My confidence is not shaken, but I'm worried I have to face the stigma of being fired.  I feel like crap.  Help/advice please... 

They have? lol ok. just ignore me then.  I haven't been watching a lot of tv lately. 

By the title, I mean they're back on MTV.  I know someone is going to say "they never left." 

I just turned on the tv to MTV hits expecting to see Gaga or Katy Perry as usual, but instead, the first thing I saw was Hanson.  I was just in time to see the beginning of Give a Little and started dancing around the living room.  It's early Saturday morning and I was just going to sit around relaxing and being lazy when suddenly I have this sudden burst of energy from seeing Hanson.  Great way to start the weekend.

It was a some obnoxious and rude fans drove me crazy thing.
