... I should feel lucky...

I should feel lucky to be employed when SO many people are struggling to find jobs right now, and I KNOW I'm lucky, I'm just MISERABLE.


I KNOW I'm not cut out for my job. I'm pregnant and SUPER emotional. My job... Medical collections. I call people AT HOME, and get their medical bill money that's been sent to collections. Easy right? Eh. No. Calling and asking to speak to "the parents of..." and can you "confirm your childs D.O.B."... baby born in 2006.... $4500.00 in medical bills from a CANCER CENTER. I'm supposed to call, get the money, and get off the phone. People are CRYING, it's almost Christmas, the babies have cancer, $4500 means shit to them, and they're supposed to CARE I want the money when they can't keep their family a-float!?

I've been here for almost 2 months, and the job has completely burnt me out. I have to leave in about an hour to go there, and I'm DREADING it. I mean, so much that I feel physically sick and I'm getting a migraine. and it's ALL the job.

I keep looking on Craigslist, Monster and Career builder for TEMP/SEASONAL jobs, in customer service (since I can't really be on my feet), from NOW until MID-February, and I'm coming up empty. Of course.

No one is going to want to hire a pregnant woman for the next 2 months... seriously...
