Feeling Bamboozled and Befuddled...

And I thought my headache couldn't get any worse. I had been assured that I had the position in Forks, that all that was lacking was one reference, then I would have my job offer in writing. I was told to obtain the licensure necessary to be Medicaid billable (which I did immediately). So then I quit my job, packed up the house, gave notice to the landlord, and rented a truck and planned out a 3,000 mile trip. Then, out of the blue, I get a call:

"We're sorry, but we have decided not to hire you and are keeping the position open." No further explanation. After some calls and emails, I have been promised my licesnsure fees back.

I don't get it. I have been told my references are great. I know I gots da interview skillz. I am experienced and am good at what I do. (Not bragging...really)

So now I am hoping for another position soon. I had applied for a position up in Bethel (Alaska), but they wanted someone already licensed. I am interviewing and as soon as I have a job and a new home, I will be changing the name of this blog...and will be asking for suggestions. I'd like to give out a prize for the best one, but as I am currently jobless and (almost kinda) homeless (moving in with mom if nothing else works out), I really can't do that.

LOL - and no, mom, I wouldn't like some cheese to go with my whine!!

More updates as soon as they come in...maybe as soon as Monday.

Bethel? Really?? BETHEL??? Darn, we need you up here, woman! Don't be deterred by any "already licensed" talk. Get the license and get on up here. Contact YKHC if you haven't already. Sure would love to welcome you and hubby and the pug to southwest Alaska!

Tundra PA - I would love to come to Bethel. If it is in the cards in the future, I'll be there. We can go fishing together...or have a snowball fight!

Happy birthday!
