Arg. I'm totally emo today.

Guess it's finally hitting me today that my quality of life could possibly spiral down quicker than I can blink if I don't pick up a contract by mid-January.

I'm so depressed today. My confidence seems to already be flying out the window.

Recession or no recession this time of the year is *normally* the slow time of year for contractors and things don't usually pick up until around March or April.

Can't stop crying. The thought of losing everything is hitting me hard today. With two kids in college, a mortgage, car loan, not to mention just the regular bills and daily cost of living.

This lay off thing has got me so emo. One day I'm up the next day I'm down...today just seems like I've crashed.

My recruiter isn't helping any...telling me how slow it is. All this time their acting like there gonna be there for me and have something lined up, but it's looking like a dead end right now. Ain't nobody exactly knocking down my doors right now.

Hopefully I feel a lot better tomorrow, but right now I'm just a total mess 'cause time is just ticking away.

I'm scared...I'm very scared.

It's always a tough job market in Dec/Jan.... things will improve!

Take care of yourself and try to have faith.

I am so sorry about you being in the clump of layoffs. My daughter has been layed off and its been 4 months and nothing. My husband works for Home depot and he went back to work today and he just called saying they let all kinds of people go, asst mgn, and part timers. And he said everyone is on edge.
I see you are in Cali to, where at, were in Alpine just 25 miles form San Diego. Well I wish you all the luck and Prayers too, Debbie

Thanks everybody.

Just trying to keep busy today cleaning , cooking, checking for new job postings. Trying to make it look festive around here

Think I'll finally clean up all the mess in the back yard. Check to see what I can get rid of/sale/or donate in the garage.

In the meantime, gonna throw together a LC Cinnamon Bread loaf in the oven and figure out what I'm going to cook for dinner tonight. Thinking about some curry chicken and dhal puri roti.

Looking forward to the Word in church service tomorrow. Don't even feel like sailing this weekend, maybe next weekend or during my down time in between contracts. . Right now I just need some spirtual healing and comfort.
