This is nothing terrible, but I am just really down tonight because of the day I had.
Those of you who read this forum regularly know that I am always complaining about how much I hate my job. I still do.
About 2 weeks ago I was contacted by a recruiter about a contract-to-hire job. Very good pay, good match for my skills, and nearby. While I would rather move into a permanent position, I would be willing to go back to being a contractor for a few months if that's what it takes. So they submitted me for it. Last week the agency spent an hour coaching me on the interview. I spent more time prepping for it this weekend.
I had the interview yesterday on my lunch hour. It lasted 45 minutes and it went really well. At the end of it the hiring manager said they may want me to come back for an in person interview as soon as possible. So I was very happy, my hopes were up.
The recruiter called me at noon today and told me that the hiring manager was interested in bringing me on but that human resources at the company told him there was not going to be a permanent position and he could only bring me on as a contractor, and only for 6 months. So in 6 months I would be unemployed, no insurance, nothing. So I said no. I am very disappointed. I guess its better to find out ahead of time than after I've left my current job. But I can't believe the company wasn't up front about it.
After work I took my puppy to the dog park. Everything was great until we were ready to leave. Suddenly I heard my dog shrieking. A couple of huskies had him on his back and were attacking his throat. I started screaming "call your dogs" but nobody did anything. My puppy got away and came to me. He's a young dog, but he is over 50 lbs. By then I was yelling at the couple who owned the huskies and did nothing to call them off. I was really angry and kept asking for the guy's phone number. He and his female partner reacted like I was crazy. I wasn't at my best, but I had a bad day anyway and my dog has never been attacked. I told them next time I'm going to use pepper spray and he said he would be bringing a gun. Now I feel like I have to go to another park to avoid these aggressive dogs and their horrible owners.
I couldn't find any marks on him, but I'm not sure if he is ok. I will have to take a closer look when I calm down.
So now I am back at square one with the job hunting. I still hate my job. And I hate that the world is full of nasty, selfish people. I just want to sit and cry.
