Well, it has definitely been a while. I ended up being evicted from my apartment and moved out of Texas to Oregon. Yeah, I know, quite a change. But, when you have nowhere to go, you aren't really picky about weather.
I am still looking for work, but I DO have to say that I have had more interviews here than I had in Texas, just haven't found that one job yet. Haven't given up though.
I'm trying to hang in there, although it is tough. I really need a job. It begins to effect your self worth when you aren't working. I have been trying to fight off that "useless" feeling that I have come close to all to often lately. So far, I have been successful, but I don't know how many more times I can face it off and walk away. I know I'm not the only one facing this. I read posts online all the time that talk about the effects of long term unemployment and the still difficult job market. I have hope that it will all work out. Too many good people ended up losing their jobs and at this point, many of us are facing losing everything. I have everything in storage - my life fits into a 10X10 storage space - and I am in danger of losing that now too.
I'm willing to work to save everything, I just need a job!
