As we discussed in another post this week, it sucks to be an unemployed, middle-aged professional with a good education and an excellent resume.

You are going to feel so much better, both mentally and physically, after you start working again. I am so happy for you!

I am still working PT for $7.50 and getting some more hours during some weeks. I never imagined that I would be in this situation after working for over 34 years.

edit: sp. I keep forgetting we have spell check once again!
