The Game of Life

[MummyJ411]

Since I have moved to Austin I have had one disappointment after another with my job search. I am not sure how many interviews I have gone on, but I have 5 employment agencies that are trying to find me a permanent full-time position. I graduated with a BFA in Advertising Design from one of the top art colleges in the USA and I am having trouble finding a job? I took a year off of working after I graduated because I want to spend the first year of my daughter's life with her instead of in a strangers care. You see in 2007 I got married, graduated college, and had a baby all in the same year! Then in Savannah I started looking for a job in Feb 2008 and all I was able to find there were temp and contract jobs. I am finding so far that Austin is just the same. On top of that not having anyone to sit around with and talk to about things like this really sucks. I spend all day in my house looking for jobs, cleaning, and being my TVs best friend. It is starting to get very sad because Christmas is coming and my family has told me not to buy them anything! I feel very inadequate because I am stuck once again it a situation that seems to never change no matter how hard I try. I ran away from Savannah to be closer to my family and to be in the capitol of Texas where I could surly be able to find a great job fast! Not so much! My college loans are equal more than half of my rent! When is God going to have mercy on me and lead me in the direction where a great job and good friends are? Am I going to finish the year the same way it started? After all that has happened to me and my family in 2008, I hope that 2009 will be a far better year.

Sweetie, you are gonna be fine and it will work out.  I cant imagine how much stress you guys are going through right now.  Just remember to stick together, love each other, and hold on to each other.  It sounds sappy I know, but you have nothing if you dont have support, and Matt can give you all the support you need.  Plus Im always here for you hoe!  I love you.  Would you call sometime?  Ive been trying to get a hold of your ass for about three weeks now!
