Default Job Search

Hey all,

Most of you know that I am desparately looking for a new postion. I have been sending my resume and applying everywhere online, offline, etc. At first I was kind of scared to start doing this. I've been here for so long and really was dreading going on an interview. However, I realize now that when I do interview they will be looking at me, not wondering how much I weigh. I think I have a much better chance to get a great new job going, working somewhere that I am respected and appreciated. Not like where I work now, where they just "expect" me to do things like work overtime without pay or go to meetings late at night when I have to work the next morning, or whatever. They don't have benefits available to me because they didn't have enough people to sign up for the benefits so they had to get quotes on private insurance and I was denied due to my gastric bypass history.. whatever!!! Anyway I got a call this morning from Scripps Chula Vista (I know it's a commute but it pays about the same as here and it is benefited) anyway they were excited about my resume and application and I feel very positive about this. The position is for a unit secretary in the ICU. Even if I don't get this job, I am glad I at least got a call so quickly. I do have to go buy a suit though now that I'll be interviewing somewhere anyway. Wow I'm moving on.. getting on with my life.. freeing myself from the doormat that I have been to my boss for so many years. The sad thing is that I really like my boss, it's not that, it's the fact that I now have this reality that I am a person not just a doormat. My boss just uses me and doesn't appreciate me even though they tell me how much they love me and couldn't run the business without me.. well if that were the case, I would think they would find a way to get me insurance coverage right?? Oh well, I am venting sorry.. just would love to get some well wishes for my job search. Love you guys.. thanks for letting me vent.
