WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 10

[confusedinpa]

Alright Confused: This is me smacking YOU!!!!!
You are over thinking all of this.
Hit the pavement, like you have been. Talk to recruiters, send out resumes, do the whole thing. You can control this part of your life to a great extent. Fight for it!
Keep this situation separated from the other. They are not one in the same.

I am trying to keep them seperate, but since the job loss, my wife has reminded me each day that this does not change the fact that she wants a divorce. Each time, I told her that I didn't expect it to. If she continues it, I will just tell her that I know so just drop it.

When I was visiting with some friends yesterday, I had told them that while losing my job sucks (first time it has ever happened), it's not as devastating as the divorce bomb, as in the job case, I do know what to do. Where as I have no idea what to do about my wife.

So I have been keep on keeping on relative to the job.

I have been talking with recruiters and searching the job boards. I just got off the call with one recruiter who had some suggestions on my resume so I'm going to make those tweaks so I can get them out there. It doesn't sound too encouraging, but from a cash flow situation, I have some time (about 6 months) before I'm in serious trouble). Hopefully that will be enough time.

Thanks for smacking my head straight!
