I understand, it's a mix of happiness for a great friend but sadness and jealousy... It's not mad but its just like blah.... Actually I don't have a word that describes it well enough.

I have issues with 'I don't know'. I think it should be outlawed...that line drives me bonkers!

I know me too! It shouldn't be a valid answer. Especially in this instance. Can I go with you is a yes or no... Don't string me along with an "I don't know".

Love- that's hysterical the "et" lol demand that you go with him to the urologist.

Akn- I'm sorry I know how hard that can be you are happy for them but so sad for yourself. It's just a matter of time my bf is pregnant even though she always said she didn't want kids but she's gonna be trying soon. That's life though.

Yup. I'm just in shock about it. And I can't cry infront of DH, because then he thinks I'm unstable... I'm like, no I'm just a female... And I'm frustrated with my situation.

*sigh*...when we talk about our feelings to men we seem to be unstable. So frustrating...hang in there hon.

Speaking of being unstable... I just had a meltdown. Nothing even related to babies!!

So I just had a phone interview for an executive assistant position. Was on the phone for a good 20 minutes answering and talking with the HR lady. She flat out told me I'm perfect for the job but she has reservations with setting up my second interview.
1. Because I'm a military wife and can't control my husbands orders
2. Because I'm a senior in college and 12 hours away from graduation
She said because of these 2 reasons she's not sure I'd be around in a year or 2 and therefore isn't sure she can offer me a position.

All of that stuff was clearly stated on my résumé and cover letter... Why even call me if you don't have any intentions of going further than a phone interview?! I'm so frustrated. As soon as we got off the phone I started crying. I've been job searching for so long, ugh.

Wow. I am in disbelief..that is discriminatory.

I agree that's totally not even right! I'm sorry

It's actuall not the first time it's happened and I'm sure it won't be the last. It's always one or the other... Him being military or my graduation. They always say it makes it seem like I'm not a "long term candidate". I'm just hormonal so it was just extra frustrating. Then I told DH and of course he got mad (not at me) at the company and I started crying again. Ugh headache.

Anyway how's everyone else doing?
