Yippee!

Went to sister's to have her vent frustration at my lack of progress getting a job and now have no more unemployment benefits. She gets on the internet looking for career advice on my behalf. I have read many job advice columns and call them "Worthless babble from rich people who have never been fired, broke, or homeless". The mental breakdown from shock and then deep depression that follows making you numb to all the trauma around you is never addressed in these get a job you lazy bum articles.



She concludes these internet articles from company consultants are no help at all. She checks in to get me food stamps. I didn't qualify to get them with unemployment so why should I think I would receive them now. Too many rules so she gives up. She even went so far as to ask advice from her facebook friends (I know because I'm on her friend list). I think my sister is breaking under the strain of my failure to get another job. Shame on me for walking around like a zombie with a negative attitude when I relay my struggles to her. I shall keep things to myself from now on.



Now for the Yippee in my entry title. I come home to a message on the machine from a store I applied to last night. That was fast. Will call tomorrow to make my interview for Friday. I have hope again. It's all I have but I will take it.
