Alright, now that I'm in the right forum 
Man, I'm having a really hard time right now. Been looking for a job forever and nothing is working out.
I just had a 3 interview process with a company including an interview with the General Manager. They basically gave me the job last Friday, sent off for a background check including criminal, social security, and employment history. I got a call today after frantically working all weekend to get things done around here before I started working again full time. She says come on down and we'll send you for a drug screen. It will take 24 hours and as soon as we get the results you're on board.
I run around to finish some things up, jump in the shower, and as soon as I get out she calls again. "Can I ask you a quick questions" How long did you work for _________ company? I tell her... and then she tells me that another company I worked for only had me down for 4 months of temp work, and another I had on the applications didn't have any records of me at all. This is all a mistake and I try to explain it to her, but she says she will have to postpone the drug screen for now and think about it. She will give me a call later today.....
Well, I'm steamed about this employment history check so I look for pay stubs for evidence that I worked at these places, and it?s a FACT that I was hired on full time for that one company and eventually laid off in a downsizing. I even got a letter of recommendation for the Director of Operations from this company saying what a good worker I was. I call her back and tell her my story. She ask if I have any more solid employment history I can prove... I don't so she says she can't take it to the next step (drug screen) and that as her duty as a manager, she has to find the right person.
The right person??? I impressed them very much in my three interviews. They even told me so. The job was mine, but she wouldn't give me a freaking break. I?m not sure what I?m going to do now. This is all so depressing. Being unemployed is the worst. Especially for a motivated person like myself that has tons of plans and goals. I?ve applied for so many positions in the last few months. I don?t know what, where, or when I?m going to apply next.

Just wanted to get that off my chest for the 4th time today.
