WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 11

[confusedinpa]

Hi mom! :-)

My buddies are pretty supportive about my situation. They both said that they will try to help me find a job. They offered it last time too, but I found one pretty quickly. Doubt if I'll be as lucky this time around in the midst of the holidays. I really gotta face the reality that there won't be anything happening until Jan.

They also wouldn't let me pay for anything Weds nite, but I bought one round cause I don't like not paying my own way.

I do have a good group of friends - just most are about 2 hours away. Most of them grew up like I did, where we started with no advantages and fought for all that we achieved. Now I'm the first to go through a divorce (others had lost jobs before) but they have been very supportive of me. Even when I lost my job earlier this year they were there for me. Now there there again. Guess that's why these are the few I kept in touch with all these years, they are there for the good and the bad. The only bad part is how far they are. That was one thing I pulled together in NY, a group of local people that I could hang out with during the week.

I had gone to church every Sunday since the weekend she moved out. Big reason for that is that she would pick up the boys on Sun 8 AM each week and there was a service that started right afterwards. Since I started working in NY, and I was only home on the weekends, I would go with my boys once/month. Now that I'm back, I do plan on starting to go again. I was almost at the point of developing a couple of connections with people I could talk to there. I just need to do it again. Thanks for the reminder mom :-)

So today, I'm gonna fire off more resumes on monster and hotjobs. I blanketed careerbuilder yesterday and on Monday, I sent my resume out to a handful of recruiters I've worked with before. I'm of course anxious nothing has happened yet, but, as my cousin reminded me last nite, it's been less than a week. Breathe. Relax.

So thanks for being there for me mom. It's always good to hear from you.
