Things have hit an all time low here. Without going into too much detail, I am working on my resume and searching for jobs again. I think I will end up going administrative so that my hours are set. Who knows. I am feeling quite inadequate and out of the loop on things for a job, so we will see. I don't know how to dummy my resume down so that people will take me seriously for an administrative position - I haven't been an admin for 10 years.....and when i was looking for an admin position 2 years ago, no one would hire me and told me I would be bored and not appreciate the job - great eh?
Hmm...what to do, what to do.. :(

Having a hard time right now.
When I decided to go into business for myself, I seriously didn't know that it would be THIS hard.
Family. I MUST come up with a way to deal with FAMILY. I mean, my prices are set, and I am lower than most but not too low that I am not paying for my time.
And why does family feel it necessary to come to you and say, "so and so is charging X, why is your product more?" That's like me going to Old Navy and saying, I can find a comparable shirt at Sears, why are you more? and oh, btw, can you give it to me for less? AND THEN ME GETTING PISSED OFF ABOUT IT.
I have done a lot of thinking, and will continue to do a lot of thinking. But I am tired of dealing with people who complain about every. single. thing. Maybe I should just make a no family policy? This isn't the first family member who has offended me or hurt my feelings.
I had another family member get really rude with me immediately following the birth of my baby. Like 3 days after the birth of my baby. She didn't hear from me for 4 days, and then when I followed up with her, she said, and I quote, "you didn't respond so I went somewhere else"
While that was a true statement, she didn't write anything else, didn't sign her name, wasn't nice AND didn't bother to pick up a phone to call me to place the order OR get any questions answered.
Most of the time I think it is due to the fact that most business now days is done on the phone or over email. I am pretty sure that sentiments get lost over it, but there are some sentiments that come straight through emails......and those are the ones that i am getting mighty tired of.
