I'm sorry that I haven't been updating but I just haven't been able to crawl out of my anger and depression. I still don't have a real job. I did start a temp job 3 weeks ago that will go another month or so, but it doesn't pay what I need for the bills so while it's better than crappy Florida unemployment, it's not something I'm really happy about and I am constantly worried about money, which SUCKS.
So that's it for an update.
Thanks for all of your comments, notes, and concern. I really do appreciate it. Hopefully, things will turn my way soon.

ReplyDeleteI'm sadly only too aware how stressful it is to be single and struggling to find a permanent job. That it takes time is not a reflection on skills or ability, it's just so much harder than a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post- there are lots of us worrying about you and hoping/praying that some decent permanent work becomes available soon. Best wishes
ReplyDeleteSorry no luck on the job hunt. We've been through that a couple times in our lives and it's always awful. You've brought a lot of sewing joy to those of us that follow you. Sure hope something comes up soon. Have you thought about doing something in the sewing world? You have a good following. Contact some of the sewing companies maybe they could hire you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear from you. I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. Prayers that you find an awesome job soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Glad to hear you've got temp work at least. Keep plugging at the job search and good luck!
ReplyDeleteYou've been on my mind a lot lately. Sorry things are still not great, but I was glad to see your post. Praying hard.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and prayers for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, In the last week or so I got a couple of emails. Linda Z's needs an Admin and Quilter's Heaven needed a Bernina Rep.
ReplyDeleteOkay...but these are local here in the Chicagoland area and they are probably not that great pay...BUT my point is there seams to be a lot of opportunity out there in the sewing/quilting/sewing machine arena...kinda right up your hobby alley! I'll pray something comes your way!
Cathy

ReplyDeleteDebbie, Thanks for the update. I will keep you my prayers. I hope things get better for you soon.
ReplyDeleteDear one,
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone. I would bet many of your commentators are going through similar things and millions are also suffering in the world with this same malady. My own husband was just laid-off with bogus reason and due to his age, it will be extremely hard for him to find another job. You are not alone. But your anger isn't going to help you. It's going to hurt you. What is....is! So go and deal with it and make it into something that stands as a tribute to your strength and courage and your innate worth!! This way is long and narrow and you will find that in reaching out to others, you will be helping yourself. We are in the midst of change never before seen...and you can survive by staying on top of your attitude and away from anger, jealousy and blame. So glad you posted.
I've been thinking about you lately, thanks for the update. I'll keep thinking good thought for you. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI hope this nightmare ends for you soon. It is hard when unjust things happen.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you
Marie

Debbie, I am so sorry you are going thru this difficult time. Your are a tough smart cookie that any good employer would love to hire. Keep the faith and know there are many thinking about you and praying for you. Big hugs,,,Bunny
ReplyDeleteDebbie, Thanks so much for posting; you're in my thoughts so often. Know that we're all sending positive energy in your direction - hang in there! Tina
ReplyDeletePrayers for you along with virtual {{{{hugs}}}}....
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I will keep you in my prayers. I have been checking regularly and was happy to see you post, even if things are not yet going the way we would all like. You are a multi-talented woman and surely something will eventually turn up for you! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, I don't know the source of the anger but if it was caused by the sudden way your former employer laid you off it's hard to do but try try try to let go of it because there is nothing you can do and there was nothing you could have done to prevent what happened. Most Americans (other than unions and CEO's who have actual work contracts) are "employees at will" and that means we can loose a job at anytime. That's just the way it is and you did all the right things trust me *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting, Debbie. I've been in a similar situation, so I have some idea of what you're going through. My best wishes go out to you.
ReplyDeleteSince I have commented here before, I hope you won't think I'm a weirdo spammer when I say that my husband is a huge fan of Ramit Sethi, who gives tons of free advice on finding a great job. He's got lots of videos on Youtube. Might be worth checking out.
Good to hear from you. Sending you warm wishes and hope that things turn around soon for you.
ReplyDeleteDebbie it is good to hear from you . I have been following your blog for ages , not all the time but quite often . I have learned alot from you because you have a lot to offer . It seems to me that like a lot of sewists that sewing fundamental to your wellbeing so maybe it might be a good idea to get at that machine again and create somethig that will lift your heavy heart . I am sure that a person of your abilities WILL get a job but it might take a while so dont let yourself get to much more depressed especially since you lost all that weight and were chuugging along so well. I hope you dont throw something at your computer screen when u read this !! Lots of very positive thoughts and prayers . M
ReplyDeleteSending positive thoughts and prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeletethank you for the update. Sorry the news is not yet what we had hoped for--but you are amazing, your time will come. Take care, Bernadette
Thanks for the update, even though it is not what I was hoping to hear. Please know that you remain in my prayers and I wish the best for you.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, things will get better! You'll get through it, over it or around it...and we're all looking forward to your inspiring posts after you do.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best. Thank you for the update. We miss you and your sewing wonderfulness.
ReplyDeleteI've been through a similar experience and it's really hard. Eventually, it does turn around.
ReplyDeleteHope you get a nice job soon! I've been keeping you in my thoughts!

ReplyDeleteI had to post the same good wishes-it took some medication to help me get control of a similar situation. But striking out by opening a different door might be the way for someone as talented and smart as you are. I have learned so much from you, you have so much to give. My blessings to you as always.
ReplyDeleteCherie in Phoenix
Thank you Debbie for the update - I too was worried for you. Sorry you haven't found a permanent position, really hope your luck will change soon. Many hugs and good energy from Nova Scotia xo
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie I am worried about you too and hope that work comes quick. I am sending positive thoughts your way. I hope you find something very soon.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, you may or may not know that I was unexpectedly laid off about a month after you were (and I am the family "breadwinner"). I don't know if you're on LinkedIn or not, but I landed 4 in-person interviews (and 2 offers and possibly a third) by applying for positions through there. Something to think about.
ReplyDeleteI just accepted a great offer with a top company in my industry. We'll be relocating to Seattle, but I'm looking at it as an adventure. So, I guess that I'm saying that there is hope and this being a "blessing in disguise" might not always be a cliche. Take care!
Debbie, I had been thinking about you and checked your blog to find your discouraging news. I pray you will make it financially, find the job of your dreams, and most of all will find peace.
ReplyDeleteHave you checked out the site Go fund Me? With your following I know people would love to help.
Glad to see an update. You are in my prayers. Hope everything gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteContinuing to keep you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you, Debbie, and checking back periodically. Thank you so much for updating us. I'm sorry that things haven't turned around yet. Sending you good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteSending you best wishes all the way from Germany- while I don't comment often, I absolutely adore your blog and am so inspired by you. I have been thinking of you since the first job news and have fingers firmly crossed. Keeping you in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteBettina
Glad to see your post. Praying that you will receive strength to release the anger as it is only hurting you by taking up real estate in your mind (and not paying rent). Please convey my thanks to your Marine for his service to this nation. Thank you, also,for your heart's sacrifice in his absence and for your blog that is so helpful to so many of us.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, this is a tough situation for you and for that I am sorry. I do hope that a job presents itself. One that pays your bills!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know that you are okay, but struggling still. Will continue to keep you in my prayers.
Helen
It won't be like this forever. I'm in a difficult situation too and sympathize with that kind of stress..
ReplyDeleteThere is a saying, perhaps buddhist in origin...the one thing you can count on in life is change.
You're still in my prayers for gainful employment.
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you: I'm interested in a coverstitch machine, and I looked at your comparison chart but it's 13 years old. Any ideas what to look for?
