1. ((((Hugs)))) There is great happiness once you've quit the booze, found a decent job,

and are growing again. You gotta hold onto that.

4. We're both longtime veterans of DU, but we've not crossed paths before.

I offer you my heartfelt condolences nonetheless. The frustration you are feeling right now has to suck major ass.

But please, keep trying!

5. Wow--is that weight loss chart for real?

Congrats and good luck on hitting your goal.

[Systematic Chaos]

6. It is for real, and thank you!

It's not easy to lose a very large amount of weight, but I'm still plugging away. Thanks again for the positive vibes!

10. About that chart...

[Taverner]

7. Thanks

Brother to brother

[Suich]

8. Wow! That's incredible, Systematic Chaos!

Congratulations! If you don't mind sharing, how long did it take to lose that much?



on edit, I just saw the link at the bottom of your post.

9. When you're down and out, lift up your head and shout,

SHIIIITTTTT!!!!!

I guess that means this one wasn't the good one.

11. As a therapist I get fired sometimes. As a writer I get rejected. It doesn't predict the future.

I'm really sorry you didn't get the job. And I'm not at the end of my rope or anything, so I don't want to just sound like I'm blowing smoke. But things can turn around in remarkable ways, and if you don't give up they will.

Here's a list of novels who were turned down, the writer's version of not getting the job.



Harper Lee – To Kill a Mockingbird
Margaret Mitchell – Gone With the Wind
Herman Melville – Moby Dick
Madeleine L’Engle – A Wrinkle in Time
J. K. Rowling – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
Beatrix Potter – The Tale of Peter Rabbit
H. G. Wells – The War of the Worlds
Ayn Rand – Atlas Shrugged
Judy Blume – The One in the Middle is the Green Kangaroo
Kathryn Stockett – The Help
Rudyard Kipling – The Jungle Book
Shel Silverstein – The Giving Tree
Lucy Maud Montgomery – Anne of Green Gables
John Grisham – A Time to Kill
Agatha Christie – The Mysterious Affair at Styles

12. Taverner, take a deep breath.

I know it is frustrating. But all one can do when they are going through HELL is breath and keep marching. You can not stop, the rewards are to great.

[femmocrat]

13. So sorry, Taverner.

Better luck next time.

[magical thyme]

14. I'm so sorry...

Just hang in there and keep trying. Something will break your way as long as you keep trying.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. Sorry to hear it, Taverner. That sucks. Hang in there. Something will turn up -

[Initech]

16. Have you tried going through temp agencies?

I'm about to go out on the job hunt myself and a friend told me that temp agencies are a good way to get hired.

[RiffRandell]

17. I'm really sorry Tav.

Try and hang in there. It's hard for me to hear positive words of comfort when I'm feeling down (not to discount or offend anyone that has offered you kind words) but you're in my thoughts.

[WCGreen]

18. Sorry....

It's tough out there. MrsWGreen was downsized in May and has yet to get a call back...

[Yavin4]

19. My 90% rule.

90% of all rejections will leave you better off than if they had accepted you.

You're better off without that job. Fuck those stupid asses.
