Trials & Tribulations of a Southern Gardener: There are no words

There are no words

Today is a very, VERY bad day for me. I just recieved a notice that I did not make it through round 1 for the job at The Corp of Engineers. I am utterly flabbergasted. I prepared, I met with the unit supervisor who helped me prepare my resume to make it through this process. I am just speechless.....I wanted this job more than I have ever wanted anything.

MILLIE said...: Poor You. I am so sorry. I don't know you, but I can feel your pain. I just started blogging, but totally identify with your bio--just a tad older. I have been trying to get re-employed in a new field and gosh it is hard to get a job today. Just hang in there. Like your blog.; April 2, 2009 at 1:13 PM

I know that God is going to lead me where he feels I belong. God always see's the bigger, even when we don't.

So I will see where he takes me, God knows best.

Thanks you all...it means a lot to me! Bloggers are such wonderful people.
