Re: Sassy: July 2006 - 41 & BB Bound
Well, as noted above, a really shitty mood has been sitting on me for the last 2 days - definitely entering that phase of unemployment and it scares the hell out of me because I spent 6 months of pure misery in 2003 doing the same thing. The good news is that the job mkt is MUCH better now, but its still a very hard thing to continue going thru as you watch your retirement savings get eaten up w/ monthly bills. Even the house payment is going to be very slow to get rid of & I've got free housing on the beach just waiting for me.
Anyway - before succumbing to the devil called depression, a 20 min call to Mom
