PARTY FOR EIDE'S ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN IRC

BYO UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK

Eideteker - I totally feel you. How are you getting by on your bills?

I'm truly sorry you're where you're at right now. The only thing that's been making my life bearable in this economic climate is just volunteerism left and right.

I don't want to preach, but doing something outside of yourself in a new capacity might help the sting numb a little. Of course, your mileage may vary.

I believe in you, though. I know your life will continue to get better, even though right now it may seem surreal to say it. Just keep on keepin' on, man.

I'm nearly nine months into my benched position myself.

This may not make you feel any better, but I just read the N@ explanation from your profile and it was so, so awesome.

Aww, you're the first person who's ever commented positively on that.

BYO UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK

LADIES GET IN FREE! (Guys do too.)

*hugs*

:(

Hey, hope you're doing ok. Yesterday, as you know, was a sad anniversary for me too. 11 years to the day since my dad died.

Anniversaries are no fun.

Hope you find something soon. Xxx

I was thinking of you when I posted (if you hadn't guessed by my use of the plural).

Hugs to jonathanstrange and Eideteker!

Eideteker: It's taking a while, but a job you like is out there. I've been unemployed nearly as long, and my neighbor at home was unemployed as long as you after he was laid off from a job he had for over 10 years. I can think of at least 3 other people who have been in your situation too. They all got jobs eventually. Keep going! Plus you've finished all your classwork! Your time was well spent.

*hands out hugs*

Next Tuesday will be 7 years since my little sister died.
Hugs and whuffles all around.
