I am so tired of this crap!!!! My husband lost his job yesterday and we just got a brand new apartment across the street from his work. Now we are stuck with out any cash flow and a new apartment that if I go and get a job we couln't afford. On top of everything he is diabetic and we don't have health insurance! Does anyone know how much that stuff costs? It's a car payment by itself. Thank God we only have on car though. Still it's 400 hundred a month! I was going to go buy some new clothes soon, but we can't. I gained weight and so I only had 3 pairws of jeans that fit, but one pair the butt ripped open so now I only have 2 pairs of jeans that fit and no others. I'm frustrated. MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!

[Yes that sucks

A lot of jobs are temporary now
How are you supposed to move and incur all those expenses for a temporary job???

And even if I, or he, does find another job you are always reluctant to move. Because what if the same thing happens again.

So that leaves a lot less opportunity.
I can not believe what I am paying in gas right now to go to a temporary job!!


Did you ever see the movie ‘moving’ with Richard Prior . . . same thing happens to him . . . but it is funny in the movie?


It seems that if you want a job for long term that you have to go to China or India.

In those countries I think people ware a lot of old raggy clothes because that is all the higher there standard of living is.

But it is increasing.
Now they are able to afford 1 pair of jeans
Pretty soon probably 2

Your sad and frustrating story is not good, but maybe it is a sign that the standard of living in this country is closer then we think to the standard of living in China and India.
With things so close maybe some jobs will come back to this country or at the very least stay in this country.

Thanks for the reply. I hope that not only China and India are the places to find a stable job. Heck last I heard Australia was giving citizenship w/in 24 hrs if you wanted to be a registered nurse! Heck, here they get payed 40 and hour and get BMWs and Volkswagons for a sign on bonus. Too bad my honey couldn't handle that. He's a type 1 diabetic on a sliding scale and sometimes he's stupid and forgets to eat after taking his insulin and has to drop everything because his blood sugar drops, I'd be too scared he'd drop a patient. My mother keeps trying to get my to go to school for that. If I did I would probably be able to supposrt us while he tries to start his own company so he wont lose his job. He is a programmer and he wants to sell software and support. Oh well.... Maybe I will...

nursing would seem to be a good choice
it is hard to export that job.
My mother is a nurse if you can believe that

when I was little O always wanted to be a nurse... but to tell you the truth I have a hard time dealing with myself.... I don't know that I would be able to help anyone.... I have a hard time helping myself... I am tired.... of everything.... *sigh* I feel so hopeless... I feel like that all the time anymore... I thought I was getting better... I just guess that I am not really getting that much better because the hopelessness is just getting worse.... I am getting to the point where I hate life anymore..... I don't know what to do I....

My job's being moved to India. Hopefully not too soon.

About getting clothes that fit: How about a thrift store? Iodn't really like going in them, but at least you know the clothes are pre-shrunk!

*chuckle* I guess they would be preshrunk.... I have just been getting depressed about this whole ordeal because I thought everything was getting better. I guess not.

I'm sorry, I hate when crap like that happens when you're going through an apartment move or something. We are going to be moving into a new apartment now, and my fiance shattered/cracked his pinky finger from fooling around with his friends. He works a manual labor job. I hope it's going to be okay because he can't work his job if his finger isn't okay. Or else he has to work light duty and miss out on his overtime.

Just have your husband send out as many resumes as he can, and hopefully something'll come up. Even take a crap job if he has to just to make a little money while waiting for a great one.
