When you're back on your feet, you can look back on this and...well, not laugh, but know that the experience made you stronger and wiser. I don't necessarily agree with others that you should have taken the $5/hour job instead of staying on unemployment. If the unemployment you're getting is more than the wage you would have earned, you'll be coming out ahead and putting less of a drain on your savings. Keep on sending out those resumes. Contact the temp services in your area, too...sometimes a temp job can translate into a nice, permanent job! Chin up, gal — it always looks darkest before the dawn.

So that you don't continue to drain your resources and feel depressed about your hunt, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to take it while you're looking...at least it'll be an incoming rather than a drain :) just motherly advise here. And agree...stop worrying about Rugby dude, you're going to bring on the bad stuff if you keep willing it to happen by always putting it out in the universe. :) Keep your chin up- you're a beautiful, talented girl with a great spirit. If anyone doesn't love that about you, then they are not worth your time- and I'm sure Rugby dude loves you for that and more. So wait you didn’t take the job?

I have not been off NEAR as long as you...but I understand the feeling of not having a job. Was the offer REALLY that bad and is there potential to move up in salary? I would say take it and keep looking. At least you have a paycheck coming in and you can then take your time to continue to look. My offer came in less than was expected...granted only 50 cents less...and I could still comfortably live on it...but I did make my recruiters (head hunter?) go back and ask for what I was promised. Thats Destiny's job...to get you the money you deserve. Good luck and dont worry about Pluto...he will take care of himself! promise!! A very WISE woman always says this to me when I am freaking out about something that may never happen "Do you want it to be the self-full-filling prophecy?" So stop worry about Rugby Dude and what he may or may not be feeling or the worse may come true. Breathe. You will be FINE! Ps. Glad you liked my Marlyn pic...I thought of you when I posted it. oooh I know. I have not been off NEAR as long as you…but I understand the feeling of not having a job.
