Sherral, sending my best wishes, hopes and prayers that things get better for you guys, and SOON!!!
Oh gosh Sherral ! What a mess ! I am crossing everything I can for you ! It WILL work out in the end...it always does. The trouble is that it never feels that easy when you are in the thick of it all, does it !?!
In the UK we have a benefit called Disabled Living Allowance. It is a benefit you can claim from the state, for things like depression and other health problems. Loads of people I know have it for depression and stress, because these are conditions you cannot
prove properly, one way or the other. Horrible isn't it, but at least if you have that sort of benefit, where ever you are in the world, it would be some kind of finance coming in.
I wish you every bit of luck I can pool together for you. Living without finances isn't easy.
At the very worst, don't stay out of the job market too long. Get voluntary work for a few days a week, while you keep searching. Not only will this get you out of the house and mixing with people, but you're bound to make new friends. My biggest problem when I went back to work ( apart from having a few irrelevent skills ) was that I had been out of the job market too long.
You could try call centre work ( not selling stuff, but customer services ). Call centres in the UK almost always need staff...don;t know if it's any different where you are. Also try looking at Temping agency websites. That way you can get immediately updated with any new vacancies.
I wish you the very best of luck. Let us know how it goes on Thursday...oh and when and if they ask you " What are your strengths and weaknesses " for the weakness part, answer " well I've never
had a weakness that I wasn't able to make a strength." If they ask for an example, think of something silly, that you now do very well!
ie...using a stronger bleach, beacause it works faster, thus cutting down the housecleaning time, and improving your efficiency......
I don't really know, but make it relevent to the interview you are up for !
GOOD LUCK !!!
Peace, Love, and Happiness, Always
Sonia
Don't give up...your miracle is on its way !!!

Sherral:
I would love to have yo come clean my house, but I am afraid the airfare would make it not worth your while.
Here's hoping the end of the tunnel is but a short distance away for you and Ted.

Good luck, Sherral. Too bad, that you're not closer - my mom and dad need someone trustworthy to help around the house.
Good luck Sherral, money worries are the pits. I hope you get a job soon.
Yep! Temp agencies can be life savers at times. And don't be afraid to call and visit some churches for help. Salvation army is a good one that will help if you're in a bad spot. Look for a Mormon (Latter Day Saints) church for help too. They will be a huge help.
I'm really sorry you're going through this tough time. I've been there and it isn't fun at all. Times are tough right now and I thank God every day that I have a job! Hang in there and don't be afraid to let it all hang out here!

Keep the vibe's coming 3 more day's intill the interview!
As my mother would say,"The devil is busy". Went home last night and could not find my books. That's okay. I did enough candle rituals during the bad times that I remember what to do.
This candle ritual is from Sylvia Browne's Book, "The Other Side & Back." Take a white votive candle and a fireproof plate. For nine nights at precisely nine o'clock light the candle and say: "I am a blessed child of God. I am well. I am happy. Great abundance is on its way because, as God's child, I am empowered to create miracles." When I did this ritual I used the same white candle for nine nights, letting it burn for fifteen minutes the first 8 nights, and on the last night letting it burn out all the way.
White is a good all purpose color for candles. Green is for prosperity and employment, and orange is used to attract general good fortune. If you don't have green or orange, white will do.
One employment ritual that I did all the time (still do, as a matter of fact) involves taking a green candle in my dominant hand and mediating about my employment situation while holding the candle. This is called "charging" the candle. I would think about the interview going well, and how happy I would be when I got the call that I got the job. I visualized going to work each day, and being happy when I got my paycheck. I can't tell you how long it would take to meditate on your particular situation--each person is different. When I felt that the candle was charged, I put it on the plate, and as I lit it I said, "Great new job, come to me, as I will, so mote it be."
Sometimes I would also write out a short note describing the kind of job I wanted ---my own office, short commute, my own computer, no phones--fold that note up, and put it under the candle, then light the candle and say the prayer. You are probably not going to believe this, but right now I am working at a job with a short commute, my own office, my own computer, and no phones. I have attracted this type of job to me twice this year. This last one looks like a keeper.
Another thing you could do, if you have herbs in your kitchen, is to wipe any kind of oil--olive, vegetable--on the candle and then roll the candle in the herbs. I used one or two crumbled up bay leaves and pinches of cinnamon and ginger. You charge the herbs the same way you do the candle--hold them in your hand and concentrate on the result you want.
I got the information about the herbs and the candles from a book called "Everyday Magic", by Dorothy Morrison. I made the ritual up myself because I wanted something simple that wouldn't involve at lot of expense.
For Sherral I'm going to light a green candle tonight and visualise her going on the interview and getting the job. I'm going to let the candle burn for fifteen minutes tonight, and then let it burn out all the way tomorrow night. (By the way, it is said that if your candle flame is high and the candle completely burns out in 15 minutes, that your wish is going to come true quick, fast, and in a hurry! I've had that happen to me, too. And no, I don't drink, smoke funny cigarettes, or do drugs!)
Sherral, let us know how it goes. We're pulling for you!

Sherral, let us know how it goes. We're pulling for you!
Oh Sherral, I'm so so sorry!!!! It is so tough out there. You've already gotten such great advice, all I can say is I'm pulling for you!!!! LOTS of vibes coming from NJ, and you'll be in my prayers!
This may sound corny but it really can't hurt.. I totally believe in the power of prayer and positive thoughts. Maybe if you tell us what time your interview is on thursday, we could try and remember and around that time say a little get the job prayer.. I'll probably be somewhere else but I could stick a post it note in my car to remember
I am in the same fix. I lost my job when the company I worked at closed it's doors in March of 2001. I have one big problem, I was hurt on the job at that place and have lost 65% use of my right arm. (of course I am right handed) And that was after I had to have 4 surgerys to fix it. With 65% loss of use of my arm no one wants to hire me. The workers compensation I received allowed me to live about 3 months without any money coming in. I have gone to school and been retrained, but as soon as a company finds out I have a handicap that is the last I hear from them.
I have to spend about 3 to 4 hundred a month on medication to keep the use of my arm. I also need surgery to fix a severe deviated septum with a bone spur growing in it that causes MAJOR head pain.
I take one day at a time and just keep applying for work. I do not want a handout, I want to work!!!!! I had a excellent employment record before I was injured and lost my job.
I wish I could give some advice, but all I can say is "just keep trying, and try not to get depressed" It is hard, but what else can a person do?
I wish the goverment would quit worrying about wars and FOCUS on the lousy economy in this country. There are so many people out of work and getting desperate for employment.
Sending you "get a good paying job" vibes!!!!!

My sister's husband went on strike a few years ago, with minimal strike pay. She did a few things for grocery money.
Have a garage sale. Its amazing what people will buy. She packaged up bundles of used crayons in sandwich bags, and sold them for 25 cents apiece.
One thing she did with a bit of cash was sell food at the garage sale. She figured that people driving around to the sales would appreciate some food, so she got bread dough and made bruschetta - really cheap to make with fresh tomatoes and onions. She made $50 one week selling food, and coffee.
That turned into a little catering business. People paid her to come to their house, help prepare dinner, serve it and then clean up afterwards for parties. You could put a notice up at the local grocery store that you are available for dinner parties at home.
She started baby sitting, put the word out at the local public school, the teachers were happy to have someone responsible looking after kids, and with only one or two, she didn't need a day care license.
I hope that the job interview goes really well, but there are lots of things you can do in the meantime, and also for additional cash, if you are creative and humble.
What about yard work for elderly and shut in people? How about doing grocery shopping for shut ins?
Its hard to see how this will help, but if you add it up, it can make a huge difference.

I worked for the federal government and in the city government here in St. Louis, and I have seen so much corporate welfare and wasted tax money that I do not have a problem with deserving individuals who receive assistance. I just hate that the economy in this country has gotten so lousy. People are being hurt and the so-called big-wigs don't care!
Here in Missouri a person has to wait a full four weeks before they receive unemployment benefits. Since the state budget went south it has gotten even harder.
