Sorry things are so rough for you.
I don't have any words of wisdom since I've never been in your situation. Have you checked for state assistance?

yes,but because Ted had been getting unempolyment at $299.00 a week we made to much to get any help.now we have to wait 3 months of no pay to get any help! Stupid !!They go by your last 3 months income to see if you can get help.

Sherral what about the church? Can they help? Are their relief organizations near you? A Gleaners where you donate your time working in their store for food? Could you perhaps hire yourself out to clean houses or start petsitting? Are you handy crafty? Is there anything you can make to raise a little bit of money? Have a garage sale perhaps and get rid of everything but just the essentials?

Do you have anything you can sell on e-bay? Can your kids help with a loan? How about a 2nd mortgage as a last desperate measure?

Have you considered temp agencies? I was in your situation over a year ago, and looking back now I can't imagine how I made it through. I was signed on with over seven agencies at the same time. I pestered them for work, called in at least twice a day.

One advantage of temping is that you get paid EVERY week. Employers in this area are finding and keeping temps over new hires, because they don't have to pay benefits, and there's no paperwork on their part.

Now I'm working a long-term assignment that is going to last a year or more.

One trick you could use is to take things ONE DAY AT A TIME. Don't think about next week, or next month, you WILL run yourself crazy if you do. If you've done all that you can do for that day, when 6PM comes, drop it. I know it's hard, but I learned how to do that. You can't think of everything, and you will wear yourself down if you try.

I am SO sorry you're in that situation.

Sherral,

We are right behind you in line here. Hubby is still getting the unemployment but, when it runs out! Ouch!

I still have kittens available so there is a tiny income there. I have also been painting mini's at $5 each.

If I lose another kitten I will just curl up and die. The vet bills have been crazy and cash has been short.


I will be planning a huge scream as soon as the unemployment runs out.

RubyAngel I would like a copy of the "Employment Ritual" so we can light a candle here too!


Good luck Sherral! I wish you the best of luck with the interview.

I'm leaving work now but I will bring the book in and post the ritual tomorrow. (I also have some rituals for protecting cats. If anyone wants, I will post them, too.) Night, everybody!

P.S. Sherral, I'm very happy for you! It's gonna work out!

We're rooting for you!


Temp jobs can be great, because you can get your foot in the door with good companies that might otherwise toss your resume. You can also make lots of great contacts that way.

Best of luck!
