All Straightened out…
Get out of the confusion of the world. Get into the presentless past. Look through the denseless stars and let its aura penetrate after the blast.
Just a mental escape exercise that I had to share…maybe I just did it for myself though, to take a deep breath and *Sigh*. Today is the Final Four NCAA Tournament where I personally have not been able to watch any of the games, but I have been rooting for UCONN on account that I did used to go to there games back when I was in high school. I had no idea that they would do so well, but whatever (kudos to them…LOL). Otherwise this whole job search has been getting harder and harder. Especially since I read the news yesterday (google news) :
Unemployment zoomed to 8.5 percent last month, the highest in a quarter-century, as employers axed 663,000 more workers and pushed the nation’s jobless ranks past 13 million. The hard times were only expected to get harder — a painful 10 percent jobless rate before long.
It hurt my heart…literally (I kind of had some chest pain). It has gone up 0.4% in one month…that means from Feburary to March…and April is said to be just as bad or worse. They say the average work week is down to 33.2 hours and that most people have two and three part-time jobs. And…there are around 13.2 million people who are unemployed, but there is a new 9 million who are now forced to work part-time because companies are cutting back hours.
Good grief…I’m still applying for jobs though. I do believe that I’m in a pretty safe place right now and I’m unwilling to give up. I have too much energy to not be actively getting the job or jobs that I will have. Its going to be a long road, but today I’m so hopeful that I jsut can’t wait to see what will happen next!!!
