Discovering me and Wealthy Affiliate

Hey!

It all started like 4 weeks ago when I quit my job as a carer for the elderly. I was walking down the road to work at 6am feeling broken and tired when a wave of 'nope, not anymore' came over me, so I perched on a park bench and made the decision to never go back - here I am!

My family think Im loco, my ex co-workers think im going through some kind of anxiety depression and my friends are trying to figure me out. I think my quick decision on leaving a job without any direction threw them off - but right now I couldn't be happier with my choice!

A week or so after becoming unemployed I decided I need to make some cash, I needed a job that ticked all of these boxes:

Hours that fit around me - not that dreaded feeling at 6am knowing that I am going to work to sweat my butt off to get no thanks or recognition, basically working like a donkey for minimum wage.
The right balance of interacting with real people - lets face it, being in the presence of people for 9 hours a day can be so draining!
Incentive and a challenge
Recognition
And the ability to grab a cup of tea when ever I wanted!

So I applied for a grocery store, just up the road from me. Short manageable hours, always something to do and no customers until half way through my shift - perfect right?.

Well.. I had my interview today.. It was going so well, so so well. The head of department liked me and I could tell he already had plans for me regarding moving on up in the company. Then Lauren happened!!. Picture this right, so were walking down the isle to go back into the back office when I see someone I really honestly didn't want to see, so I detoured and went a different way from the interviewer. He was calling me back because I was going the wrong way but I didn't care and completely ignored him. I just needed out, asap. Meeting the interviewer at the end of the isle after he chased me down to ask what the heck happened... I just answered, Lauren happened. Safe to say I most probably will not get the job but I think its for the best anyway. It will be a miracle if I even get a phone call back.

I dont think I am meant to work for anyone but me, this is my time to shine without the hassle of someone watching and judging me all the time :)

The good part? I found Wealthy Affiliate! I cant thank everyone enough for the amazing motivational messages left on my page. This whole community is so welcoming I almost felt overwhelmed, but at home at the same time.
