I really should be cleaning. The house is a mess. Christmasness and Benjamin's birthday being in the same week really makes life chaotic this time of year. Dan is on an interview right now, and I can't focus on anything else. He got a call Monday after work for a job at Hillside as an Emergency Shelter Case Manager. He doesn't even know if he wants it to be honest, but it is a definite step up from what he is doing right now. Last night I stayed up till 3am ironing his clothes for him and printing out his resume, along with interview tips, questions and answers, and also information on the program he is applying for. I highlighted parts of the packet that were more important so he knows what to focus on, because I really ended up printing about 20 pages of stuff to look through. I know it was a lot for him to look through, but I just wanted to prepare him for stuff.
I have so much faith in him, but he has none in himself, which worries me to death. He has SO much potential but yet because he has no faith he belittles himself. It's annoying if I'm being honest. I seriously wish he would just "man up" and take matters into his own hands regarding his career and making more money. If he wants to go to school, I am totally supportive of that. But it isn't fair to me for him to hate his job, complain about it ALL the time, and then do nothing about it. He is miserable sometimes, and he says it's because he hates his job so much. If that is how he feels, he should leave for something else. It's not like he makes a ton of money and he can't make the same elsewhere. It just angers me.
I really hope he gets this job. If he gets denied, it will kill his self esteem, and I don't know how I will deal with that. When he interviewed at Home Depot and didn't get it, he was depressed and stopped applying for jobs in general. I really just want him to get this job. I think he'll be wonderful. His interview was at 4:30, and it's 5:15 and he still hasn't texted me telling me he's out, so hopefully it's going well.
Anyone reading this please wish my hubby luck! :)
