I've been in that position myself. It ain't fun, but keep your faith. It may be the best thing to accept something decent for now. It's more or less a psychological thing, but employers are more apt to hire someone who is already working somewhere, rather than just being unemployed and ready to work. It got so bad for me years ago, that I ended up just working for myself, but I know sometimes that is just not possible. May be a good idea for her to just waitress for now at a nice place and she could possibly move up to cook. Besides the pay, the 20% tip thing now sure pays pretty good. Keep us posted. Bill
I am always impressed with your positive outlook on things X. In a time when you could fall into the rut of hopelessness you always seem to have a good attitude and faith that you will make it through. I admire that. I am certain that this will be but a small footnote in the story of your life. That job, which seemed to be the answer wasn't. The one that comes along will be. I know that can sound simple or cliche', but sometimes there is no other way to put it. With your tenacity and perseverance things are bound to change for the better. The question isn't if it will happen, but when. Good things do come to those who wait. Keep us posted on how things are going and know that we are all supporting you and Zoe.
Very well said, Ort, and I agree with all you said. X will make it with his good attitude. And now he knows there are people that admire him and care about both Zoe and him. Nice of you to relate your feelings. It's always nice to know that you have someone in your corner.
Boy I'm still a new guy around here, and i am thrilled to find a group of people who feel good about helping others. X, you just hang in there, and always remember that slamming door sound is always the opening of other opportunities, most of the time which we wouldn't have had the chance to see. Somehow God always puts us where we have to be at the right time, and with the faith and prayers of this great group of people, you and Zoe are definitely winners. Good lucj
I have heard it said that "Its times like these when you find out who your mates are." I have found that I'm richer than I knew. I do have great faith in Zoe's and my future. Thanks you lot. I really needed this too. Bar Palmoral is a no go altogether. She will find something. I know it. We haven't overcame all that we have in out lives just to be stopped now.
Good on you two Xav! Your attitude and faith is always a ray of sunshine in my life just by knowing you. My prayers and positive energy is with you both.
Hang in the Xavier and Zoe ! Some great advice from good friends. Remember our friend Annie-----"The sun will come out tomorrow----tomorrow"
What was that I was saying on another thread about being off meds? I think that it is amazing that people I have never met in person, who know me pretty well, and accept me as I am, can be so awesome and supportive. You all have been a saving grace in more ways than one and more times than I can remember. I'm proud to be a member here on the Station Wagon Forums. Who knows. Maybe someday I will be able to sit down and with some of you. Except you, Cat. You're not old enough to drink.
Okay, just for that, turn up your sound and listen to me sing ! It ain't gonna be purty !~ As for this group of members, more than once they've made me smile and take away some sad feelings. I could list many members here who recently proved how great this forum is. I suppose station wagon people have always been special. Actually owning and discusing station wagons is only part of why I come back. Hang in there Xavier, today it's cloudy. But the sun will really come out tomorrow! Zippidy Doo Da, it's a wonderful day! Plenty of sunshine comin our way!
