> dear birdgirl,
>
> very sorry to hear that your job did not go well; but i am glad to hear that you at least care about your work & the people involved, even though it can cause difficulties--i am always heartened to hear that others are so sensitive as i can be. i hope you find an occupation that allows you to express all your compassion without overwhelming you.
> i've currently been unemployed for almost six months, and am having extreme difficulty finding a decent position that will accept me due to the fact that my manic episode has left me with a very very bad credit report. oh well, one pushes on, but it is so sad that i seem to be disappointing everyone around me.
> so are you still drinking the mochas? just your mention of them made me crave one, but i'm still resigning myself to green tea.

> good luck,
> darlingyes, i am still drinking the mochas. i know it is really bad to overdose on this stuff, fattening, high in caffeine, etc. but i have applied for a position as a manager of a coffeehouse, and i chalk it up to pre-employment interview research. i hope they give me a shot at it. i think it would be fun to run a coffeehouse, poetry readings and open mike night and all that.
after considering the dog and bone theory mentioned earlier, i decided that was a very valid point.
so i am looking for more work elsewhere. i also put in at a parrot supply/pet store. not as much pay as the other job, but more joy. i also get to go on jury duty, which i am very glad of. the City pays two weeks full salary, and i get to read all day.
i will know more in three weeks as to where i will end up employment wise, but whatever i do, it wont be dispatch. i am done there.
i just heard on the news right now that one of our helicopters went down and one of my dear friends was the police observer in it. the news say only serious bruises, i pray they are right for once.
sorry to run on. gotta find out if my guys are okay.
