Do you ever find yourself saying, "This is not supposed to be my life. This is not who I am supposed to be." I have an ok life despite my job woes but I catch myself asking me these questions more and more. I think about how I got an education to ensure future employment, worked hard at all of my positions so that I could build up a stellar resume and job stability, saved money for a rainy day and did whatever I could to give my kids the best I could on my own. Now, I am going to be 40 next month, still no job, savings finally depleted, unemployment running out, and rapidly deteriorating health that I cannot afford to have diagnosed, muchless treated. I did all of the things I was supposed to do to ensure I didnt have a life like this and now I have it.
Where did the me I used to know go?
****ADDITION****

My problem is also geography. My oldest is graduating from high school and I am trying hard not to move until after. I wouldnt want him to start over when he is just a few months from graduation. Plus, we lost over 1200 jobs in this county alone. Our local economy has been greatly effected. I keep getting folks telling me I am wrong about American companies hiring over seas when I just being sarcastic. Thanks for the link. If it were local I would apply for everything and anything. I already have. Hell I was making 50K a year but just applied to be a freakin janitor because I need a job. I would do it with pride too! Maybe Georgia is in a slump and the rest of the country isnt. I just know the local economy where I am living is in a coma right now. thanks again.
