Some of you are aware I am seeking employment, it is tough out there, knowing I have rent to pay, telephone, groceries, life policies etc etc etc

I am in tears right now, because of a STUPID STUPID ERROR :(

I was nearby the ATM this morning, as requested a bank statement.

I read it and something was so so wrong.
I NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK. :eek:
I should have had at least a 6 figure balance in my account.
The account only showed a 3 figure balance.
Knowing I had not spent any money etc, how was I going to get through the month, let alone pay the rent etc etc.etc.
I came home immediately, and tried to go into INTERNET banking, IT'S OFF LINE Just my luck hey

I then wrote down all my expenses etc, something was very very wrong.

THEN I PUT MY GLASSES ON AND CHECKED THE BALANCE

IT READS a 6 figure balance

THANK GOD I WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE MONTH, AND GOD WILLING I GET ANOTHER JOB A.S.A.P

Just shows I am getting old and MUST WEAR MY GLASSES
Oh my goodness I am deteriorating daily

It happens. Just glad your heart is ok.


When reading the bank receipt without my glasses, I began sweating, heart was beating 10 to a dozen.

So happy I read it incorrectly, and have learnt a lesson

WEAR YOUR GLASSES ALL THE TIME

You are far from old. You are down in the dumps but the light will come back in your life. Keep the faith as they say and I know you are.

As far as the job place is concerned I am over the hill
They are always seeking you woman between 20 and 25 years old.

I am honestly trying to keep my faith... some days good, other bad

Im sorry the job hunt is so difficult Im sending wishes for you to find a great job. As for getting older, its sucks. I own buttloads of wrinkle creams but guess what, still getting older......and I gotta have readers, but oddly only sometimes????
