today just thinking

I am getting ready to go back to school and am going to be majoring in clinical psychology. I am having issues with financial aid and social security as ss has not yet completed my name change. I can not find a copy of my marriage license and I need it to finish my stuff so i can start school on Monday October 19th 2009 but it will cost me another $25 for a new license and I just don't have it right now. I am still looking for a job and not having any luck. My father who has not had to look for a job in the last 32 years is on my case about how job searching on line is not the way to find a job. He doesn't seem to realize that even when you go in person that most of the time they send you home with a website to apply through. It is very frustrating that as some one with almost 20 years experience in customer service and call center work that I can not find something that will pay a decent wage and be somewhat close to somewhere that I could live. I can find jobs in some areas but i could either never afford to live close enough as to make enough money to pay for more than just gas back and forth or the area that the job is in I would have to dodge bullets to get to the front door and who would want to live like that. I wish there was a way to get back into the last job I had when I lived in NJ/PA the last time and that was at Labor Ready. I loved my job there I am not a morning person at all but I was up in the shower and out the door by 4:30am to be at work by 5:15am everyday and by 6 am on Saturdays. I was on call 24hours a day 7 days a week and yet as inconvenient as this was to me it was a great job. If it weren't for the then district manager who just wanted her daughters friend to work in that branch i would still be there. She tried to say I lied about the mileage I drove. We did get reimbursed or mileage and when the other person who works with you refuses to drive and your branch manager who says he was going to pick up workers ditches them at midnight with no bus service you kind of have to go and do the leg work for it or driving as the case may be! Yes even 3 years later I am still very upset over this situation as i tried to apply for a position with the same company to find out that she put me in as a lifetime no rehire. i am very angry at this as this woman has since been fired for misappropriation of company funds! I would think that her termination for this should be enough for the corporate office to reevaluate her terminating me. Enough of that for now. I am just getting down because I can not seem to find a job here and I came back to NJ for many reasons one of the big ones being work. I do not speak Spanish and that makes it hard to fins work in FL where the majority of the people who live and work there speak Spanish. I just refuse to learn what is still taught in schools as a foreign language to work in the country that I was born and raised in and that my parents went into the military to defend and father actually fought for. But the point really is I NEED A JOB!!!
