Unemployment Blues

This economy sucks!! Now I will be the first to admit that I have not been trying as hard as I possibly can, but I think if I tried any harder I would literally go insane. I am already getting extremely distressed at the amount of non replies and rejections I have faced, how many more can I take. This makes me start to think seriously again about just taking off. It would have to be on foot of course since I don't have the money for a car. I think about leaving with a backpack tent and sleeping bag. I would try at first to make it to Redding I think. I have some family there that would probably be enthused about the journey and happy to see me. From there I could continue north into Oregon to visit more family. After that I guess I would head east and see where life took me.....

In reality though, I will probably just bide my time day after day until something positive happens. I got the blues!

  1. The economy is down the crapper, and it's going to get worse. I personally expect to get laid off next week.

    There are hundreds of applicants for every single job that is posted. Do what you can and apply for those jobs that you have a reasonable chance of getting, but be realistic about the current situation and don't expect to find a new job any time soon.

    Act according to these assumptions. I've been saving money for a year and a half for the day of reckonining. This is going to be a multiple dip great recession with no end in sight.

  2. Hey Tav how ya been?

    I wish I would have been more like you and saved more money while I had a job. I don't know what I am going to do. Thoughts of military, peacecorp, and other groups of the like are starting to creep up in my mind.
