I got another "blow" to my self esteem this week. Because I made a stupid error, I've been chastised for it. Unfortunately this doesn't just affect me. It affects my family as well. Due to this error, I'm without any income coming in. It's a very scary situation and one that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I guess that this is a lesson, a very bitter one which will linger for awhile.
I know I must push on, but it's very hard. I am desperate enough to take anything right now. I'm betting that there are quite a number of people in my situation as coffers go empty and the requirements to receive compensation become more and more strict. What's even more frightening, however, is how many people are being disenfranchised due to a number of circumstances. I've had my eyes open lately because of my own situation.
I thank God I still have Internet access at home, but wonder about all those people that are cut off from it. What can they do? There is no paper forms (that I know of) that they can fill out to apply. Everything is on the Internet and woe if you don't know it! I've been thinking of that a lot as I work on finding a job. It definitely is not easy. Too many are in this position because companies move jobs overseas, leaving Americans out of work and struggling to survive.
Will I survive this? I don't know now. I'm betting that most, if not, all of you have experienced this crisis and there are many survivor stories out there. I'd like to hear them. Let me know by posting comments below.
