Update....

Big stuff has gone on over the past month....

I moved back to Southern California about 3 weeks ago because I lost my job in Colorado. :(

I really hated having to move back in with my parents. But the Colorado job was just too physically demanding for me and, coupled with Denver's insane altitude, I just couldn't keep up with my co-workers. So right now I'm on the hunt for a new job. But its really scary because California's economy is even worse off than the rest of the country. A career counselor I met in Denver suggested looking for work with non-profit organizations (since I now have experience doing that stuff) and that The United Way is a good place to start. Hopefully, that'll open some doors for me.

On top of that, I applied for a cheaper Health Insurance plan (since Blue Cross doubled my monthly rate for no reason recently). Now I have to wait for that to go through.


Losing a job so suddenly is really scary! Luckily, I have enough in my savings account to last  me a few months. I just hope a steady job comes my way before i have to start dipping into my savings.

Wish me luck everyone!

*hugs* I'm so sorry as well! I've definitely been there and I was terrified that I'd have to move back to Alabama to be with my folks. Thankfully, it was agreed by all that there was more work here in Phoenix (which proved to be true and I found a job after three months). What type of experience do you have? Anything that can translate to freelance work?
