wendyzskithe loved my work and hated me.
"some people" said I was "hard to get along with". I pointed out that I had no direct supervisor for most of my time there, and as such received no guidance or direction at all about any "problems". They agreed that that was a fair point but that I was still out. I wrote a note to that effect on my Eval and Exit forms.
Still makes me feel like mildew, though.
So here I am again. No job, no prospects, and an increasing number of short term jobs that are going to make it harder and harder to find a real one.
A favor? I know this is going to send me into a major depression, so I'm going to need a little help. Anyone doing fun cheap stuff or who is willing to have video company or something, please call me. I tend to withdraw when I'm depressed, and that is not good for me. Dragging me out of my apartment would be appreciated - even if I struggle.

Date: 2006-04-08 02:00 pm (UTC)I'll lay you money right now the next person to do that job gets fired for one of two reasons -- either the same as you, or "incompetence" because he/she/it *didn't* pester people for the information they needed.
I do feel for you about the shiny NU degree...at this point my post-grad history looks like this: '89 - '91, copywriter for the Home Shopping Network; '92 - '00, various positions in Mudano Associates Architects, Inc. (please pay no attention to the fact that the company name is the same as my unmarried name!); unemployed from '00 - '06.
Robin going back into traditional school means that my time should be free enough to get at least a part time job (taking care of Dad still being a major priority), but what can I get with a history like this? Gods forbid they actually ask me what my major was!

Date: 2006-04-08 03:53 pm (UTC)and I get asked at interviews "Why does a Northwestern graduate want to work as a secretary?"
Ummm - 'cuz my landlord really likes it when I pay my rent?
'cuz I like food?
You at least can say "I took time off to care for my father", which is not only reasonable, nowadays it's downright hip!
