Oh to have and not to have a job. I know the blog world is full of good things, things that make us all want what looks so good from our side of the computer screen. But today i figured i would commit a blog no-no and be extremely honest, and i guess to sooth my soul a little, and to avoid having to answer a million questions and bad looks.
So six weeks ago i got offered a job at a place i won't disclose. Yesterday was my first day. i have been trying to find a job like this since oct, but i wasn't excited...i was scared. i went to some training at the beginning of dec and i should have realized then that it wasn't a good fit, the staff wasn't very nice, they used really poor unprofessional language (i'm still bursting my utah bubble about tons of stuff) anyways. Yesterday i had a horrible day. i have trained and trained dozen and dozens of people and its never fun to train or to be new, but yesterday was a really bad day. i literally had to ask them several times to train me, to show me how to empty the voicemail, etc etc etc, and we only saw 5 patients....can you be more bored. i don't want to continue being negative but it took every effort not to cry and those of you that know me, or have worked with me know that i'm all business and don't cry. but needless to say once i walked out of the clinic the tears came and came. I felt so disrespected, so overlooked, so unwelcomed and the list goes on. spence is such a sweet heart and he supports me so much. its hard sometimes i feel so unsuccessful, and i want to be able to provide for him, i see all the hard work he puts into medical school and it kills me to know that i'm not adding any relief financially, and that i don't have something in my life that makes me be so driven. I just am bummed out, because i really want a job, but now i'm so scared to even apply....what if it doesn't work out again. what if no one likes me...what if i've gotten too comfortable at home...what if...what if..what if..and the doubts keep flying. so tell me how do you get that confidence in your life that makes you conquer everything, that makes you believe in yourself more than anything else in the world??? i am thankful i have spence he is the best person in the whole world he really gets me...and i'm hard to get. i am thankful that i realize doubt and horrible thoughts comes from Satan. and even though now i don't have the strength to push Satan away at least i know i have the power to make him vanish and stop picking on me. so today i'm feeling a real down, but i have hope that something good is just around the corner and i'm gonna work hard to eventually find it and prove to myself that i deserve it...thanks for the venting session.

I think of blogging as my journal, so venting and talking about your feelings is A-OK. I hope things work out well for you soon. I understand how you feel, having felt that way myself many times. Hope your day is better!
Carly!!! I am so so so sorry the job situation has been so awful. I hate that for you, I know it's so stressful- I have totally been there. Hang in there- I think we all need to have another catch phrase night to lighten your spirits!! A little laughter always helps :) I'll be thinking about you!
Carly,
At institute today we talked about Hope, and someone said that sometimes we have disappointments in life that make us lose hope, but somehow we always regain the strength from it. I've found that to be so true. And even though this job is not for you, you will find something that is. Don't worry about how long it takes 'til that day comes, because when it’s right for you, you'll find it! It makes me sad that this job is no good...but heavenly father is watching over you! And If you ever want to go running let me know! I run to the school everyday and work out there and would love company! (Sorry for the lengthy comment!)
Car I love you no matter what!
Carly! Sorry to hear about your job! It is hard to find a job with as cool as people as UV OB/GYN huh? We miss you there! Hope things start turning around for ya!
oh Carly! My heart aches for you! I am so sorry this didn't work out for you but the great thing about life is that you get to start a new day tomorrow:O) Don't lose faith in yourself. You are a wonderful person with great strengths and qualities to share. You will find your place! Love you!!
OH GIRL!!! I'm so sorry! I bet you felt just like paper clip julie and natalie all rolled into one...:) except we were nice to them and they were just a freakin idiots...we feel you on the no job thing FOR SURE! we'll keep you and spence in our prayers. :) I LOVE YOU! STAY POSITIVE!!
Car-you WILL find a great job that you love, and the people there will love and appreciate you too!!! Keep your head up....have faith in yourself....be brave....YOU CAN DO IT!!!
And if this were a girls only blog...I'd tell you to blog about your story you told me the other night! I still laugh every time I think about it:)
Oh that is so not fun! I just quit a job I hated so I know how it is. My advice? Give it a little time, and if it continues to not work out go and find somewhere that does! It may seem hard to find jobs, but there is no need to be in a place that makes you miserable!
hugs...lots and lots of hugs! You are the best. You are so much better then that place...and who needs a stinkin' job? j/k...I'll give you that hug in 2 days! Loves.
Car - you seriously are above and beyond the rest. You are an unusually dedicated, hard working woman and you WILL find somewhere that fits for you. I had to search for almost a year before I found the office that I fit the best with and I know you will find one. I pray for ya daily - I wish I could move out there and be with you! I love ya and NEVER forget how incredible you are.
Hey girl, sorry it's taken me so long to reply! I have T's number...what's your email address? Also, FYI...I posted a note on our PHS Website about our 10 year...check it out and let me know if that works. I know you're out of state, but I can totally keep you posted by email, or we can conference call you in! Luv ya!
I can honestly say I UNDERSTAND YOU. You are a great, exceptional, brilliant, beautiful and smart young woman. Satan definitely knows our weaknesses but Heavenly Father knows our strengths and one thing you are not is a quitter. I truly believe that you will find the job that is meant for you to have especially while Spence is in school. Do not settle for less when you are worth so much more. We all truly miss you Carly but this is all going to be a great learning experience not only for you but for those that surround you. Don't loose faith...love ya
