I Will Not Suffer In Silence

The recruiter wrote me again: “I have a question about one of your reference checks. Can you give me a call to discuss it?”

So I called, and was told that I got a bad review from a boss I had in 2004.
I was asked to explain myself. So I did. I gave a brief honest assessment of what happened. I was told that I should be okay IF the rest of my references come through positively. They should come through fine, RIGHT? I assured the recruiter that they would.

Now the anxiety has increased tenfold.

I don’t know what I’ll do if I’m denied this job.
Well I know the logical next step is to keep looking for other work.

But in the meantime, I have bills past due and rent coming up and my boyrfiend doesn’t have much extra money to help me out right now.
That’s what I mean by I don’t know what I’ll do.

And the cramps have returned.

And I’m crying. I hate crying. It’s so messy and it leaves the eyes all puffy and swollen.
