Yet another job that I didn't get. After spending two months, four interviews, a lie detector test, and a two background checks, the Texas DPS was at least kind enough to send me the letter that says, "You did well on the tests, but we won't be hiring you."
I have to admit that I'm a bit depressed. It's been 9 months since I lost my last job and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not good enough, or I'm too old, or I have nothing more to give.
So far, it's 8 interviews since March, 0 hires.
I guess I'll plug along with substitute teaching, which I enjoy, but would enjoy more if it could lead to a full time teaching job.
What I really wish, is that Obama's crowd would leave the economy alone and stop trying to fix it. As it is, if we sink into an actual depression, I won't even be able to do what my Grandad did during the Great Depression, because illegal immigrants will take less money to pick strawberries and watermelons in California. (Not to mention that green-nuts are trying to deny California farmers water, just to save a stupid little fish.)
I love being back where I can see my family, but I might have to move away again, in order to find a job.
Sometimes it sucks to be 40.
