Yeah I’m pretty thru reaching out to friends and family. They give me mental support, but not much else. Everyone seems so worried about themselves that there isn’t much they can do for me, not that I blame them. Plus if I here “So what’s your plan?” one more time, I may have to kill.
I did, however, come up with plenty of plans. Plan A (Get a local job), Plan B (Get a non-local job) all the way till Plan Z (Ditch stuff and go live with whomever can put me up for free, either LA or MS). This made me feel better, like now I know what I’m doing as if I wasn’t just a pawn of fate.
Three good things happened for me though. First someone came to see my apartment to rent. I felt great to have the interest, but honestly I have no firm offer. Second a headhunter called me back and showed serious interest. It’s a good feeling, but again, a headhunter is not a job.
The final good thing was a pal dropped by who happens to be a health insurance salesman. He gave me the low down on my options right now and let me know that I’m better off getting Cobra and having unemployment pay for it. I thought Cobra was bad because it’s like $600 a month, but if unemployment pays for 99% of that, it’s a better deal then getting my own for $200. I only hope I didn’t fuck it up and can still get Cobra instated. It’s something to do on Monday at least.
I’m thinking about finding some volunteer job. Give myself a reason to get up in the morning and keep the resume current. Also need to start looking at (free) classes.
Hit the gym this morning. Now staring at computer like it will somehow give me the answer. Saw your blog and felt like it did.
