Wedding Woes

job vibes and venting.

I needs some. I wasn't going to ask since I have a job, but I'd like to work in the same town as my stuff (and my H). I've applied to somewhere around 45 jobs and still nothing. It doesn't help that there are something like 94,300 other people looking for a job in the same county.

It's only week three and my sister is driving me up the wall, but I don't want to get an apartment because my mom will feel bad (and we've rented out our house).
I'm depressed. I don't think I've ever felt this depressed in my life. I don't think it would be bad at all if my sister wasn't around and if I wasn't staying at my moms house for 4 days a week, so if I don't have a job by september I might have to get my own apartment just for peace of mind. But then we'll be paying two rents and part of a mortgage (since our renter doesn't pay our whole mortgage) and that would suck, too. And then I couldn't emotional shop because I'd be poor(er).

eff my life, for real. I'm really glad my husband is happy because I'm fuckingmiserable.

    is there any way you could transfer offices or work remotely?

    was there any consideration over your job/job hunt when your H was applying with his new employer? That was something that we really took into account when we made the decision to move for my job.

    I'm vested in December, but I can work for any company that uses this retirement system between now and age 55 and it will continue to build, it doesn't have to be consectutive.
    Barbie, when he was looking my same exact job was open at another location, three openings. I thought for sure I'd get one of those since I've been doing this for 7 years...I didn't even get an interview. I really have never had trouble finding a job so I think I just overestimated myself.

    people just aren't hiring as much right now - DK was surprised that it took him about 4 months to find something when we moved. he went on a lot of interviews, and made it to the 4th-5th stage with 2 other companies, but even then they were dragging their feet hiring/making an offer. The one that hired him turned it around in a few weeks.

    you may have better luck at the end of the year /early next year when budgets refresh or people are hurring to use their leftover $$$.
