I didn’t mean to make you cry, now. But I’m sorry to hear about your troubles. You and I both know that it flat-out sucks to be in the position we’re in.

At any rate, despite the treatment I got there, it’s still hard to deal with the loss of the job. I’ve been applying for jobs since last night and as I told my buddy Tony there, went and applied for assistance. Yep, I feel like a bit a of a loser but for now it’s what I have to do. I’m also going back to apply for unemployment since, as of this reply, I have yet to get a reason for my termination other than “go home.”

I’ll look into the temp agency thing, but I might not qualify since you say they are looking for “intelligent, educated people.” I think there’s a golden spatula in my future.

Thanks, Tony. I’m hoping for the best as well.

Despite the temptation not to do it, I went and applied for food stamps today and I feel like a piece of me died in the process. But I don’t feel too bad–there was a lady there with brand new Audi applying for assistance. It’s tough times.

Reading that made me teary eyed because all the feelings I had six months ago came flooding back. While I know we’re in different places in our lives and have different circumstances to deal with, I really and truly know how you feel. My layoff and unemployment has completely fucked me up to – so much so that I sometimes wonder if I’m ever going to be the same. Probably not, but maybe that’s a good thing.
Apply to a temp agency. They’re dying for intelligent, educated people. It’s a bit menial, but it’s a little extra income while you look for a job that is sans fat asses telling you to move your “eyesore.”
