Three years on....thoughts

You choose to have jobs that barely provide enough. 

Maybe I am just over-sensitive at the moment because yesterday I was knocked back for yet ANOTHER job (after a 3 hour interview, and days of preparation, as well as being perfectly qualified for the job), and so trudged off to my crappy low-paid rubbish job feeling like an utter failure.  AGAIN.  I can't even count the number of interviews I have been on in the last 3 years, to try to improve our financial situation.

I don't choose this.

Sorry pet.. I wasn't referring to you. Sorry if I caused any distress or hurt.

No, I know you didn't mean 'me'. 
But other people are in the same position as I am, so in my state of still being in a fresh hurt over this latest rejection, I'm thinking that it kind of wasn't a very fair thing to say to someone.

I sense that you were probably saying that to try and shake some positivity into it... in a 'choose life!' kind of way, but...some people, including myself, don't have many options.
