My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

yes there is. I suggest Hoozh file immediately... once she is unemployed for a week she will start receiving benefits while she is searching for a job.

I am so sorry. I have faith that you will find something better.

Sorry hon!

Okay - checklist for oyu:

1) File for unemployment ASAP. You don't know how long it will take to get a new job.

2) Go to the library and check out a copy of the Tightwad's Gazette. Inspiring reading for belt-tightening.

3) While at the library check out some comedy dvd's for watching.

4) Believe that a better job awaits.

5) Make a collage with all the good things you want to have enter your life and look at it daily.

6) Get a good friend to give you an honest opinion on your job interview wardrobe.

((((hugs)))))

Single best book I've ever read on finding/getting a good job:


How to Get a Better Job in this Crazy World -- Robert Half

[BeingMe]

Is there a specific Job Search Database for Nurses in Indy? I can just imagine how panicky you must feel, but just take it one day at a time, doing all you can do to get a job. I am sure if you do that, a door will open. You are long past due for a miracle, and He knows what you need (more than you do).

I agree, BeingMe. As I have prayed for Hoozh, the last two evenings driving home, I've seen a rainbow BOTH EVENINGS when approaching my house! I'm telling you, it's God's promise that He won't abandon us.

Thank you all. I'm kinda speechless.

I'm not panicking--I didn't even follow my usual advice to take an evening and wallow in embracing the suck. I just cannot go there, I have to be on my game. I even managed to put a positive spin on this for D14--somehow. Continuing to beat the bushes and send in multiple applications, and it's far too soon to hear anything back yet. I've also contacted my "peeps" to see if anyone knows of anything. so--I'm doing what I can. I did not go to work today, called in sick; I will go in tomorrow and try to do something to look busy but don't really know what that will be. If I can stand it at all, I will stick it out till the end of next week (last possible day is the 27th) so I have the largest possible paycheck; if it's just too stressful I will just quit early. lots to do before the benefits stop, making a list for that.

thank you all again for all of your support and prayers. you're keeping me from scraping the bottom.

[BeingMe]

Ah, are you the type who is able to focus clearly, and concisely on what to do, when in a crisis? If so, great. You are going about this in the right way.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.

[hoosiermama]

Most of the time, yes--a crisis causes me to focus. It's a codependent/ACOA thing. That's why I worked years in the ER, on a medevac helicopter, pediatric intensive care, even taught paramedics--helping other people know how to deal with crisis! truly, sometimes I have wondered over the past couple of years, if I create a crisis where there isn't one just so I know how to respond. "normal" life is a mystery to me at this point!
