December 1st is 17 days away. Shelter, utility, phone and Net costs average around $850-$900/month. Next week is the final unemployment check to cover the November bills.
The job search continues. I’m frustrated as hell, constantly asking friends for resume tweaks. In pursuit of lower-paid jobs, I get the head shake and “I’m afraid you’re over-qualified.”
My references are solid. In my supervisorial positions, I work whatever hours and days needed. I’m not some freaking slacking, substance-abusing, anti-social schmuck. I didn’t create these macroeconomic conditions. My credit got whacked the last time I faced the squeeze; otherwise I wouldn’t be blegging.
I’m well-conditioned to take whatever comes including selling all my apt. furnishings and starting over with just my car. Been there, done that. I get frustrated because I had to give up my belief in karma, but I see no reason to whine. Life is what it is, and in much of the world, I know it could be much worse.
One month’s grace period is all I’ll seek. If you’ve contributed already, thank you. I hope you’re repaid many times for your kindness.
