    I think my life has hit pretty low.

    Finally I think something is turning around when I thought there was a couple of job offers. I really didn't want to work in this one place and didn't really give them a response for a while (cause it was crap) I am waiting on this other offer. Unfortunately this other offer doesn't materialize and I am getting near the deadline for the the 1st offer (There wasn't this hard deadline). When I finally accept the first, they are like too bad you should have replied earlier.

    It seems like when you think things can't worse they usually do.

    What do you do when nothing goes right for you in any part of your life?

    I like to think it can't get any worse, but I have given up that thought.

    your life could always get worse. for instance, you could have annoying auto-play clips from youtube embedded in your posts. :mad:


    fo realz. Your life doesn't sound that bad. Be thankful for what you DO have.

    you could live here...

    See I am afraid that is what is going to happen. That is why I am just preparing myself for it to get worse.

    No I only got one offer which I should have taken. The other I got hosed on despite them telling me I was good fit for the job.

    I know a lot of people are struggling, and I can empathize with those folks.

    It seems like if something can go wrong whether it be with friends, family, etc. stuff just seems to be getting worse.

    don't sweat the small stuff.

    If you think that is "everything" going wrong, then you've got it good and just can't see the forest for the trees, man.

    That said, if things are skidding a little, you're probably due for a bounce upward pretty soon.

    This too shall pass.

    I'm sorry to hear that. But,

    it doesn't sound like you managed this too well. If you wanted to keep this job as a fallback position, you should have strung them along more proactively instead of just leaving them hanging.

    Still, if it was really a crap offer, you're probably better off in the long-run without it (even if it sucks to be unemployed right now). Don't sweat it; if you can get one offer, you can get another.

    finding a job is really hard right now.. for every opening, there are hundreds of applicants and at least 10 prospects..

    when you get a decent offer, grab it right away.. if something better comes afterwards, then you can make a decision..

    Ugh, my life sucks. I clicked this thread on ClutchFans and got a song on autoplay and now it's stuck in my head. Help me out, ClutchFans.
