Looking for new job
August 9th 2007 14:53
Good morning everyone,
Hope everybody is well today. I apologize for not writing the last few days. I mentioned this a few months ago, that times were tough and my business isn't doing well. Unfortunately, the time has come that I can no longer ignore it. It looks like I will have to make a career change after twelve years and look for something else. I work gor myself now, but it has been going downhill and I am frightened to go back into the workplace. This week, I have been posting on job sites, going to employment agencies and networking to try to find something else. It is a frightful time and I am worried, but I am trying to work my way out and find something. We are worried about losing our home. I should say that my wife is much more worried than I am. Of course, I don't want that to happen, but I told her that if it does, we get an apt. jobs and build again. It won't be fun, but as long as we stick together, we will make it work. I am upset about the kids, since they are young and don't know what is going on and if that happens, their world will be turned upside down. It is tough, but we're not the first in this situation and we won't be the last. My other problem, is that I never finished my degree. Currently, I am taking online cousre and am approximately 40 credits short. I was less that, but the school didn't accept all of my old credits. It will take me a little over a year to get through it, but after that I will finally have that all important piece of paper in my hand. It will not only be better for me job-wise, but also for my self-esteem. Not to mention, that I didn't want to be hypocritical to my kids later when I forced them to finish college. Didn't want them to throw it back in my face that I never finished. So, here we go. The only bad thing is what to do until then? I'll figure it out, but if anyone has any ideas, let me know.
Later,
Jonathan

I hope you find something semi-decent.
