Giving up on my career

Post Reply New Topic

Well, I give up on my career. I have been unemployed for about 15 months now, and obviously, no one wants me. The library doesn't want me, PetSmart doesn't want me, and now, my husband's workplace doesn't want me either because the corporates there are f***ing stupidheads! I also had to turn down two jobs due to shifts I don't like and distance respectively, and both are animal-related jobs (I currently volunteer at an animal shelter). Also, my job coach is the most half-a**ed person I ever met and didn't get me one single job, so I decided to fire her.

I'm not gonna bother selling my art, either, because according to one WP'er in a past thread, my art sucks! My husband disagrees, but the damage has been done, which is why I don't draw much anymore.

I'm also not going to bother trying to find another job, because I know no one will hire me due to my lengthy unemployment. I f***ing hate living in Ohio, because its economy f***ing sucks, which is why I give up on my career. The world can kiss my fat, white a**!

You listen to one idiot comment on your art---and you stop doing art?

I would bet that the idiot in question had other things on his/her mind than your art. I would bet he didn't even see the piece in question. He was probably just an internet troll.

Please don't give up. Please don't.

You don't understand - I have the art skills of a ten y/o. It's that bad.

Adding to my statement about my husband's workplace, two of his male coworkers are engaged and dating respectively - and they work in the company as well. The reason I was excluded was because I didn't meet my husband at work. THIS IS COMPLETE BULLSH*T, I'VE NEVER BEEN SO EXCLUDED!! Those two women are on my list now!

Anyone who wants to rejoin the workforce is well advised to be as healthy as possible, mentally as well as physically. Because the stress of holding a job demands it.

Sometimes you need to give yourself some time for wellness.

I was out of the workforce for a few years, but I started working very part-time in a call center, then more hours, then more until I had a 40-hour-a-week job. I've had to cut down slightly for health reasons, but it's still considered full time. And through this process I had to watch myself carefully and I did have some issues that could have caused a collapse.

You probably need a break from looking for work and the pressure that comes with it.
Clean your mind of looking for work things for awhile.
Maybe try re-evaluating after awhile.
Not finding work for 15 months doesn't not finding work ever.
Art appreciation is so subjective and individual that it doesn't matter if one person disliked your art, there may be others who like it.

fat white ass,

you are behaving emotionally
in response to outside stimulus

I have never been able to understand how and why Autistic Spectrum Disorder individuals
react and behave so wildly to what is just social bullying?

A real artist paints, sculpts, writes, or composes
just for themselves

To create something from nothing and realise it is beautitiful
that is what is beautiful!

critics and the viewing public may make as many poses and educated guesses as they like
but in the end

only the artist knows

Well, I've seen too many people on DeviantArt who can draw way better that I can, and to be honest, I envy all of them. I draw at a third-grade level; no one wants to buy art from someone who draws like that.

May I say that at one time you had a blog up that had some pictures of your art, but there was no contact information to get in touch with you about possibly purchasing some?

So that tells you that at least I was interested in it. I never pursued the contact info because I forgot about it afterward honestly.

I'm confused. Did you miss an interview date or a lunch date with someone from your husband's company? I don't get why they'd not hire you unless you missed an important meeting of some type.

Also, what's this list? Why are the women on it as opposed to the person responsible for hiring said women?

There are many artists who suck at drawing.

Somehow, they make money, though.

Please don't give up, Witch's Cat.

I happen to believe you're a good artist. And I do have discriminating tastes in art.

Do you plan on having kids?

Maybe you can do the housewife thing.
