This is it
The is the week that something *must* give on the job front. There are so many resumes out and headhunters with this client and that. But bottom line, it has to happen this week or I'm done. I have barely enough money to pay the rent on the 1st but no money to pay any other bills.

So please, prayers and good thoughts. Nothing like living life on the edge. :(

2. Thanks
I've worked since I was 15. If everything had gone well, I'd be retired with 30 years in...

Sigh.

13. I'm an accountant

Thanks though.

15. Thank you
If it were just me, I don't think I'd be as unnerved. But I have a daughter (Lelapin, here on the board) who's in her second year of college. I have to keep a roof over both our heads.

Good luck to you too. I take it you're looking as well?

18. Here is a little cheer for you:



When things get tough, I know it's hard not to panic

Especially when you're feeling down

And you really want to drown your sorrows


Though, you try not to frown

But, keep up the good fight

and,

And, soon you'll see the light!








Remember, you have fans!


Oh, and here's sending you good vibes...

27. Good thoughts, luck, vibes, energy
and mojo coming your way, lizziegrace!

I'm so sorry you're in the position that you are now - but Lounge vibes have helped before. Here's hoping they'll come through again!!

30. I don't even know what to think anymore
I was supposed to start a temp job tomorrow but it's now 4:20 and I haven't heard a word from the agency. I have left a message.

Trying not to give up but it's very, very hard.
