PROBLEM: This is about my job searching experiences for the past 2 months. I have applied over 10 jobs and finally landed on one with higher pay compared to my current job. I also will have less stress compared to my current job. Some of my current coworkers are very emotional about my departure.

SOLUTION: The event I am writing about is my recent job search. I started to look for a new job after co-worker left and make my job much more stressful. It was not an easy decision to have a job search when I worked in the same place for close to 12 years. I started out with aggregate job posting site Indeed. I found out with their email notification it is very helpful for a job seeker. This job searching is not an easy process to customize my cover letter and resume for individual job. I applied over 10 jobs and have 1 phone interview and another with an in-person interview in this 2 months period. I went for the in-person interview job and find out I have experiences with the position. I was excited to learn that I got one of the job with a much higher pay than what I am earning. I also will have less stress on certain part of the job compared to what I am working as. I will be starting the new job in about a week. I hope things will be alright. I feel anxious and excited at the same time. It is partly because I was in the same position for close to 12 years in the same company and now I will have to adjust to a new routine. Some of my coworkers where I am working in now are very sad about my leaving.

PROBLEM: I ran a credit report on myself and found unexplained debt. I was shocked, but found out who it was. I made them pay it back.

SOLUTION: I was looking into finances and how to become more financially fit. I decided to run a full credit report on myself, especially since it was free. To my surprise, I found close to $15,000 in credit card debt. I had no idea about and that was not actually mine. I called the credit card company that the report said the credit cards were with to report fraud. The credit card company then told me payments have been made, which means it probably was not someone random and to check with family and friends first. After this, I then discovered that it was my own parent who had opened two credit cards in my name and maxed them out. I was so upset and in shock. I felt betrayed, frustrated, upset, and like I didn't know who to trust anymore. i could not believe a parent would do this to their own child. I was then made to feel guilt tripped over it and that I should own it. I forced them to figure out a way to pay it off in a certain time frame. I am unsure how they managed that, but they did. I had to threaten them with legal action if it was not paid by the given date. Fortunately, it did not come to this.

PROBLEM: What happened was after many contentious fights, I broke up with my boyfriend. It was an emotionally tough phone call that needed to happen, and was for the best.

SOLUTION:
About three months ago, I broke up with my boyfriend. We had been dating for about 6 months prior to the breakup. Everything was going okay enough, but recently we had started fighting more often and his communication skills left something to be desired. I remember I told him that we needed to talk, and asked him to give me a call when he got done with work. I sat in my car in the Target parking lot waiting for his call for a couple hours. I like to have difficult conversations in my car, because it feels intimate, but then I have the option to drive and clear my head. My stomach dropped when my music cut out and saw his name on the phone screen. We small talked for a few minutes, and the conversation felt strained/off on both our sides. I finally let him know the reason I wanted to talk is because I just couldn't do this anymore. I had spent so much time recently being unhappy and emotional, and I didn't see a pathway out of that for us. There was a lot of silence and "I wasn't expecting this". He acknowledged that he hadn't been listening to what I told him I wanted and needed, so he was beating himself up and blaming himself. We both cried, a lot on the call. I tried to reassure him that I respected him and didn't have any bad feelings toward him, it's just a relationship wasn't working for us. He was so kind and had so many nice things to say to me, that in that moment I wondered if I was doing the right thing. The whole conversation was so emotional and I'll never forget hanging up that phone, and feeling a weight being lifted off me. I did the right thing, for both of us.
