Crazy setting.
So It's been awhile since I last posted. Last week, I was lucky enough to receive a temp assignment for about a month. I was thrilled even though I was being extremely underpaid for the job. However, I was just happy to get some work. It was a job at a creative company with heavy Outlook scheduling. This, I wasn't used to. And, for whatever reason, during my first few days at this assignment my mind switched to it's crazy setting. Meaning, I pretty much forgot and/or didn't listen to anything my supervisor had told me . I made numerous errors much to my own disappointment and was dismissed from the job after three days. I can't lie and say I am not thoroughly disgusted with myself. At times, I feel I fail at whatever I try to attempt in this life.. I just don't understand it. It's like my brain knows when I really want to exceed at something and then I just unconsciously go out of my way to fail at it. What sucks, is that now I know the agency that helped me get this job will most likely not need "my services" any longer. So that sucks a bit harder. Anyway, I am kind of excited because I got cast in a play and although its more of a "theatrical event" then a play it's at least something. Only problem is, it's far away and I need a place to stay so that's my obstacle at the moment. So if I can get that settled, maybe when I do this play I can stop self-sabotaging myself. Soo I will keep everyone posted. But like always, I'm thankful that (at the moment) I have my health, a roof over my head, and a mom that always supports me no matter what I do. That's it for now. Good Luck to all the job seekers out there!
