SOC Sunday: To apply or not to apply?

Posted Aug 14 2011 12:00am

That is the question... I just saw that one of the local yarn shops (LYS) that I shop at is now hiring for several part-time positions. I have said several times that I would love to work at a LYS but I have several reservations.

I resigned from my last job because the stress of the job sent me into a tailspin of a flare that I still don't feel fully recovered from. My last day worked was at the end of March 2008. Several times since then I have looked on several websites, gone to a couple of job fairs and applied for a few positions. The process of researching available employment sets my body in knots, the tension in my shoulders and back becomes intolerable. That's just the job search, not even a job.

My body has been inconsistent and unreliable lately. Many days I don't know what to expect - some days are fine, other days not so much. While I know that some employers may be understanding, I don't know how understanding a boss would be if I had to call in sick all the time.

I wish my body would just be consistent, so I would know what to expect. I guess I just have to believe my doctor who told me "off the record" to just expect that things will stay the way they are. I never thought I would've retired at age 30...

What do you all recommend?

This was my 5 minute Stream of Consciousness Sunday post. It’s a five minute brain dump. Link up and read what others dumped this week at all.things.fadra.
