Hi there! I'm not sure whether to post this in life or in friend discussion but anyway I had some bad day/not so good time with a text from a friend regarding this job thing. I just freakin' didn't like the way it was said on text and why he said it on text. It was regards to a job lead or interview that my close friend, jackie found which was yesterday at a store near where that friend lives who is supposedly her b/f. I was his friend and knew him before he was in relationship with my good friend, jackie. The story is this: first my friend texts me about job interview at 2 in rowland heights. See the text convo below: Jackie (Friend 1) text me, hey girl want to go to interview with me at 2 at rowland heights?? (This text was around 10:47 am I received it) Me: Oh i see. Sorry I have to take care of nephew today and my mom is off and in vacation. Me: What interview is that? Good luck on the interview. Jackie (Friend 1) - it's at a store near jared's place. aww... Me: Oh i see, sorry I won't be able too. But I wish you good luck on interview. Jackie: Oh thanks... Me: you'r welcome. Hope your ok.. Jackie: ehh im trying to help you but it's ok. Me: I'm sorry. thanks though. Hope all is well. Jackie.. Aww it's okay. im jk. hehe loves miss you. Me: you guys aren't mad? Jackie: No I'm not mad. But yeah at same time while I did say no to jackie about job interview at a store near her boyfriend's place who is also my friend name jared since i couldn't make it, well Jared text me and i really hated that texts message he sent for that day. Here's his text convo. Jared: Hey. Why can't you go to the job interview? I thought my reasone of not going would be okay and he would just leave it at that. Me: Sorry. I have somethings to do. Jared: What do you have to do? If you don't mind me asking. Me: I have to take care of my nephew n niece with my mom. Jared: can't your mom take care of them while you go to job interview? In mind I was like, really?? he had to ask it like that. I thought he would just drop it and leave it okay. Besides is this my Job interview or me bringing jackie to her interview? it didn't seem to be my interview because I didn't find any leads there... I know they say they are trying to help me for job but I'm not even asking help. ugh.. I don't know. Ever since his last text message, I got so mad and frustrated and I screamed. I was crying for a bit. I stopped texting him after that since I didn't answer his last text. I am so pissed because first of all, I don't know what job is this. And my friend Jackie was not specifically telling me what position is this or what is the name of the place. All she said was job interview at 2 at a store near jared's place (my friend which is her b/f as well. So far, I don't know if Jared is mad and I just let that last text he sent slide. But yeah I was too pissed for it. I didn't end up taking care of kids. I went to my volunteer work from 12:30 to 5 pm instead of going to my bro's house to help take care of kids to gain hours for volunteer. Also I don't like it if 2 friends have the same interview at the same job place. I don't mind friends at a job fair or career job search..but me and jackie having interview at 2 at a store that we are applying same time?? I just feel between me and her if getting hired, I won't be hired. I don't do my interviews with friends at same time. Another friend, Nicole had an interview at a healthcare place. After her interview, she told me that they are hiring and told me if i wanted interview with them. I said Yes. She also gave me the email address of the person who interviewed her. I did email that person who interviewed Nicole. And then next day, I saw a facebook post from Nicole saying she got a job. I never heard response from the interviewer Jennifer from my emails. So who got the job first? Nicole who got interviewed before me. What are your thoughts about this? I just don't know anymore. I'm thinking what the last text my friend sent was just petty. But I reacted my emotions and I didn't tell them what I feel. I was at my room crying and shouting for ahwile and then i decided to do go do Volunteer work. I left what happened hours ago be gone.

I guess I am old fashioned and prefer face-to-face conversations or talking on the phone. Sometimes texts or emails don't say what they really mean. It's hard to always fully understand what the other person is really trying to say. Perhaps if you phone or talk in person, it might help to clarify and connect better with the other person you were texting. Hope you are able to get a job that is just right for you.
