Upset at rotten luck

Just posting as an outlet really

I had a job interview arranged for today, perfect job, more money and I met all the criteria. They asked me to prepare a presentation on a specific topic which I’ve managed by doing it in the middle of the night, since I’ve no free time in the day. I’ve even got a great outfit ready, buying new shoes and a blazer rom M&S.

However my child has a high temperature today, so he can’t go to nursery. Poor guy just wants to be held. His dad is working away all week so can’t be with him, and I’ve no family help. So I’ve had to send my apologies for the interview that I’ve put all that bloody effort into.

What a waste of time and energy. I’ve asked if it’s possible to reschedule and explained my child is ill, but they’re obviously just going to think I’m unreliable aren’t they. Local jobs in my area of work hardly come up and I’m so sick of my current job but I’ll likely be stuck there for years more now.

I’m just feeling really sad about this, I can’t believe the bad luck! He’s not been ill for ages so why today of all days? I feel like I try so hard every day to keep on top of everything and improve our lives as a family but it’s always an uphill battle.

Oh no! Poor little chap and poor you.

I hope they agree to reschedule (I would). And I hope he's better soon.
