I Am 50 Years Old
I am 4-F--fifty, fat, frusterated, and financially a mess. I had a job that I loved, but my boss had some financial reverses and decided to close the office. I got a new job right away, but less than a month later I was fired because "we do things a certain way here, and I can tell this won't work out." This came from a man who wasn't in the office almost the entire time I worked there. The office manager wouldn't even let me mail a letter. All I was allowed to do was file and run errands that no one else wanted to do. I was out of place because I was older, more experienced and better educated than the rest of the support staff. I probably did resent the treatment, but I tried not to let it show. They aren't fighting my unemployment, but I am losing a week of pay which is killing me, and I will lose about 400.00 a month from what I was making. I thought my life would be settled at 50, instead I am in financial turmoil. To add to the problem I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am trying to find anither job, deal with health issues, and pay bills. I don't know where to turn. Even my cat ran away. I just want to quit the eorld. This is my worst decade yet.
