has added a new journalI have now been unemployed since January 17th. My supervisor asked me to come in for a meeting while another supervisor was packing my things. I was met at the door with the dreaded white box after two years of service.
I am not writing this because of the loss of my job. Yes, money and health insurance was great. There were costs to pay though. High stress due to political climate (office climate). People coming down with everything because of the building and people's refusal to use antibacterial stations.
It is the way I lost it. Now there are people being let go from there on a daily basis I hear. I was the first though. They take you to a room for a meeting. Have someone else go through and pack your things. Then thats it. I had spent money to organize my materials, not office money. I didn't get that stuff back.
The fact that I covered just recently makes it an even more bitter pill to swallow. I know this is not why I was let go..........but the questions and harrassment from a couple individuals did not make me feel like I was welcomed where I worked anymore.
Okay well I am done for the nite. Sorry bout the rant. Tomorrow is another day of hitting the pavement. Inshaallah I will find something soon.

My last name was enough for some people not to even call me for an interview when I've worked in my field for 13+ years now and I'm on top of my game.It's their loss, Snovi.

I haven't found squat!!!!!! What is even better is I have had some really incredible interviews and tests. I've gone in and scored great on tests that have been sent to the next level. The over the fone interviews always lead to something face to face. Then the shock of my hijab hits them in the stomach like a brick! ARGH.I actually had one lady say over the fone. "I can't wait to meet you. You sound exactly like what we are looking for."
It wasn't a position that required a customer see me, it was over the fone work. When she came out in the lobby to get me for the face to face. She asked the receptionist, "Well where is she?"
The receptionist had to point me out twice. HELLO. I rcvd a letter stating they were glad to have met me but were looking for othe canidates! If you could have seen her face.

OOOHH ... yeah....this is about a GUY! axalias...you and i have discussed the woe's of men before on other forums...and this i just cannot even begin to understand! I"M 29 years old...and so is HE! some would consider us adults...aka...Govt, parents, employers etc.heres what happend....we were talkign for a few weeks...almost twice a day on thephone, msn...and we met up twice...on the second meeting...he showed some affection (aka..we kissed...i know...too soonfor that) and then after that....i mentinoed to him that i thuoght it was too soon for that...and that i think we should slow it down....but i still liked him alot....and he totaly agreed....however...he still wanted to date other people and pretend like that kiss never happend.....but i ask you......how is that possible? how fair is that? i mean...i dont go around doing stuff like that on a whim....but apparently this was no big deal to him...i'm a bit old fashioned and only am affectionate with those that i'm truelly holding feelings for....so i was obviously very hurt....its been 4 days, and he hasnt returned any of my phone calls....and has briefly chatted with me on msn..usually just hi and bye....sigh....how do i NOT obsesses about this?

has added a new journalI try to understand what is going through a man's mind when he acts like a two year old and demands what type of clothing I'm wearing. Isn't this supposed to be a friendly forum? Immediately he goes on block; then he has a friend come on and has him ask what unmentionables I'm wearing. What the heck? As if muslimahs in this world aren't harrassed enough. We now get this from people who are supposed to be our brothers.
I'm not the newest muslimah but I do enjoy discussing current issues and learning new things when I can, especially about my faith. I live in a small town..medium sized town, but it's pretty unorganized when it comes to the faith and pretty closed off as well.
One of the reasons I love Islam is because of the protection it affords women from losers like this. Allah forgive me. I try to be understanding, but the anger and temper I had before becoming muslim just resurfaces and it truly ticks me off.

man does not act like two year old on his own..woman makes him act that way

has added a new journalI just saw that survivor is still on and I have to give kudos to it, despite the fact that I don't like the program and more than anything I thought that it wouldn't survive, but it has and its taking a good one hour away from pre programmed, mindless glut of sit coms.
Viva la Sitcom
