i have to file a mountain of paperwork for tax stuff. i am really no good at this. i am having panic attacks and getting nothing useful done. i have put out quite a few resumes and still have more to go.
my big hope is to get a job where i don't really have to deal with people and that i can just go home from at the end of the day... no work to take home with me.
somebody please tell me i can make it through this.. anyone?

Hi Gazo,
I very much understand needing a job where you don't deal with people. I used to tell my T the only jobs I should have are shepherd or lighthouse keeper. The smell of the sheep and the sound of the foghorn eliminate those ideas. I'm lucky that at my new job I have to answer the phone, but not deal with the people. I just shove them in other people's voicemail. That I can handle.
Take it from someone who has tried and failed more times that she can count. You will get through this. I made it through it and so can you.

i have yet to find anything. i got very excited that a temp agency thought they could place me in this gov job on term... but then the employer wanted some kind of specific software experience that i don't have.
i have a full degree and two nearly done degrees.. you'd think i'd get hired someplace. But no. Just like in the rest of my life, no one wants me.
i have just a few weeks left of money to pay my T. After that i can survive but no T.
i can't do the work i was originally trained to do. Now it seems i can't qualify for some stuff and i'm overqualified for other stuff. What am i supposed to do? i apply for jobs every day. i got only one PFO letter even. The rest just never respond.
i don't equate job with being worthwhile but without one i can't keep my T and that is freaking me out. i can't live on what i have forever. i don't know what to do...
This is the end of the thread.
