If you love me, just shoot my sorry, unemployed loser ass.
Another two positions passed me by. The Department of Labor tells me to "...feel free to sue your ex-employer for violation of the FMLA..." Yeah right. With what cash?

Heath insurance still kaput. I haven't applied at Walmart yet, but it's coming. Broke, busted, disgusted.

If you love me, just post "BANG." Really, I'll feel better that SOMEONE cares enough, if just to shoot me.

1. Just one "BANG."
Feels too much like pseudo-suicide to do it myself.

2. don't like guns, so no shooting, sorry.
But I am very sorry you feel so bad. I have gone through this recently - not the same situation, but being completely passed over for no discernible reason whatsoever.

3. Very sorry...
I can't do as you ask but please believe you have my sympathy and best encouragement I can. I was laid off recently..first time it's ever happened to me so I had a little taste of - if not the reality the fear and apprehension - of what you're going through. I've since found a job. I don't know your career skills or location so I don't want to offer false encouragement but still don't loose confidence in yourself...keep plugging, keep focused on what's really important and be open to different ideas.

Best of luck!

4. Hey
:hug:

I went without insurance for nearly 16 months. (I still won't have it until May 1st, but at least it's coming.)

I got a book recommended by Speedoo. It helped turn my head around in interviews.

I'll PM you the details later (after work)

Hang in there...

6. Can't do it
How about a :hug: instead?

Or maybe...



Orange whip? Orange whip? Orange whip?

Okay...



How 'bout a Fresca?


Hang in there, TD--it'll work out. Really. :hi:

7. I was gonna do it
But I realized that I wanted to shoot myself more at my last job than I do now unemployed.

8. I'm sorry.
I often feel the same way because of my daily pain. I hate being medicated, and I hate having to be medicated, and I hate the pain when I'm not medicated. Life sucks. But so far it's mostly better than the alternative.
:shrug:

Hold on, and keep trying to make things better.
