breath, breath calmly
everything is in my head.
Ok, here I go again. Something with my nerves. Started to take some calming supplements.... not working so far (but I started only 1 week ago).
So my current project will be winding down soon. to be exact on 14 nov 2014. My contract it is until end of this year. But as you know contract can be terminated at any time. 2.5 weeks ago person who hired me for this contract approached me and asked if I would consider to be a full time employee with a company. Of course I said yes. Then everything went to ... nothing so far. No offer, just blah blah blah. on top of it. I sent him email ... funny reply very convoluted. when I tried to clarify, he stop responding. So I dropped it. I can not stand it anymore. Seriously, how many times? They approach me THEMSELVES. Anyways, I probably sound like a whinny bxxxch. (which I am not). I am just tired, job uncertainty, small child, ex bringing me to the court again (for no reason). I still do hope my contract will be extended or I will get a full time offer.

I interviewed for a good company on sep 17. I was waiting for 1 month for their response and I got "NO", However my recruiter called me today and told me the whole story. There was 12 people (11 males and I) for that position. I ended up in top 2. But they went with a guy. My recruiter did not said anything but I think it was gender biased (I am a girl and I have small child)To be honest, I understand it, if I would be on a giving end, I would go with a male too. But damn, when you are a girl and on a receiving end. it just sucks
