Oh, and here's another kicker! LOLOL! May 28, 2008 5:42 pm

I went to Social Security to get my name formally changed now that we are openly married to all the family. Wonder of wonders the lady tells me that she can't find the file number on my marriage certificate. We both look. And look and look and look. But the line for that number is just as blank as can be. I did an internet search for my marriage in the state of Maine, and it just ain't there.

We may not be married after all.

Had to pay the $15 to have the state research it. Still waiting to hear something about that as well. This would really explain why the insurance through my husband's (?) job keeps declining me.

If this was a Soap Opera no one would watch because my life is just too ridiculous right now.

Ok. So I got jerked around. Yes, they loved me and really wanted me to work there. What ended up happening is the agent I deal with called me back Wednesday and said if I wanted the job it was a done deal BUT......... I would have to wait til the following Tuesday because they were going to make some changes in the office and buy a computer for my use. Yeeeee hawwww!!!!!!!! I agreed because the job was just that much fun and that good. The next day I got a call for an interviews by a couple of other companies and I gleefully turned them down with sincere apologies and they wished me luck!!!!

Tuesday I went to work. No one would look me in the eye.............. suspicious. About 15 minutes later I could hear the lady I worked with on the phone in the warehouse talking to someone saying 'I'm not going to tell her. I don't even know why she showed up.... yes, she's here now. She's already working. No one told her.'

Needless to say my guts rose up to my throat and as soon as I knew she had hung up I went to her and asked what was wrong. I wondered if I was actually supposed to have shown up on THurs and Fri and they were angry, or if I showed up a week early and was supposed to come in the following Tuesday. She just looked at me. I said "Linda, am I not supposed to be here today?" She said I wasn't supposed to be there at all. That must have been as hard for her to say as it was for me to hear. Apparently there had been some calls going back and forth between Corporate and the agency and they never came to an agreement and Corporate cut ties with the agency and wanted me out. But no one told me. They wanted to 'buy out' my contract with the staffing agency that sent me to them and the staffing agency wouldn't budge on the amount they wanted.

I cried for about 5 minutes in the truck until I saw that the Boss Guy was also outside and could see me. I drove away and ended up that day at the office of the agency and asked how I was going to be paid for at least the day I did work. She gave me a card to have signed and I went back. Two of the engineers were very nice to me this time and said 'Oh good, you're back!' I had to smile and just say that I wished. Linda got my time card signed and I went away. Later the agency told me that they felt bad and had another assignment they could offer me, 3 dollars less but what the hell. I'm on the verge of desperation here. Hubby was fit to be tied and kept threatening to go throttle the guy that told me the job was mine. But if there was at least one blessing in this, I didn't know about it over the holiday weekend. Otherwise I would have been a real drone when we had company.

And today as I am planning out the new financial structure and budget since there will be less money (we aren't making it on Hubby's salary alone) the phone rang. It was the agency. Sorry to tell me that the second assignment has been cancelled. But they DID offer me a two-day assignment at the Pepsi bottling plant sorting out bad bottles and crating them up. Minimum wage. God help me I took it.

Now I am desperately fearing my husband coming home. I made the mistake of telling him about the other fiasco as soon as it happened. I'm not telling him til he gets in tonight. I just can't.

I got ahold of the company that manages what is left of my IRA and asked for a distribution. Penalties abound and this is going to screw me up next tax time. Again. At the end of the call the young lady hesitated and said "Ma'am, forgive me but it sounds like you are having something serious going on. I don't know what it is but I would like to pray for you." Well didn't I just tell her all about the last two months? She was so sweet and I am surprised she did that because all those calls are recorded. I hope she doesn't get in trouble. I called a church that is in our neighborhood and asked to speak to the pastor. He was very nice. I asked if the sanctuary is open for people to come sit. He said of course. And he asked me if I could meet with him tomorrow morning. Who's going to say no to that???

But I had to pull money out of the IRA. The car we brought from out of state has expired tags and I won't be able to drive it anymore and it's been parked for almost a month now. I will have penalties to pay because it's been in the state longer than ten days without being registered here in California. And I can't drive it to be smog checked so I can get it registered. It has to be towed to a Smog station, and towed to DMV so they can verify it and give me new plates before I can drive it. I have been praying that the hotels across the street or the home improvement store or the Starbucks will call because they are all within walking distance. I have applied to clean rooms, work the desk, serve coffee, work unloading trucks. Anything. I mean, cripes. What is wrong when even Walmart won't call you back????????

I believe I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Really. I do. I can't believe how calm I am at this moment. It worries me. And I just can't cry anymore.

I think what is really hurting me is that my work history makes me look like I am a fugitive. I have rarely worked longer than 6 months at a whack because it seems everytime I would get through a school or get a job, my ex would come home with orders and we would move to a new state or country. My work history is suspect to say the least. And they don't talk to you to find out what the problem is. THey just look at the three pages of 'Last Ten Years' of my work history and think I am a deadbeat I think. THey don't look at it as my determination to be productive no matter what my circumstances and that I am willing to do ANYTHING! I mean ANYTHING. I'm not a deadbeat. But it doesn't look like that on paper.

Today I went to a local hospital and filled out an application for Health Information Technician because the job requirements are simpley 'clerical experience and medical terminology'. That's me. That is ME! I hope they give me more than a cursory lookover before they laugh and toss my papers in the trash.

What do you think? Is it a good idea to go back to someplace you have applied to if you haven't heard anything from them and ask for a few moments to have them explain why they dismissed your application?
