Glad the temping thing works out for you. . . my current problem is what feels right to me isn't feeling right to the prospective employer. <em>Andrea: It's really tough out there, and, of course, the economy isn't making things much easier, especially for skilled and motivated workers. But as I said once before, maybe all we're doing is exactly what needss to be done. Maybe it's building us up, gearing us up for there for whatever other opportunity is out there. Because it's coming...Hang in there, and I'm positive that you will find something worthwhile. How's that for a Pollyanna outlook? ;) Best, Susan</em> It has to feel right.

Last week I was told that my job will be end next week. NEXT WEEK! This is completely unexpected, and as it is X-mas, no one is in their offices to talk about hiring me, and otherwise, no one has the MONEY to hire me. And still I find myself unable to just apply for jobs all willy nilly. I have to feel good about a job, and if I don't feel good about it, then what is the point. Holly had it right this morning. There is a difference between emotion and instinct, and it is awesome that you can already tell the difference. <em>Monica: I know I'm delayed in replying, and I'm not sure where you are with this situation now, but I have every confidence that the next course of your life will be nothing short of wonderful. For a long time, I applied to every and any job that sparked my interest, even though my heart wasn't necessarily in it. And maybe that was the problem...what was the point? I want to work, I love to work, but at the same time, I want to feel passionate about my job, to feel as if it's worthwhile. And if having some patience and taking your time to find that is what will bring that passion to a career, then maybe that is worth it. Thanks for your insight and thoughts, and best of luck to you, wherever your career and life paths may lead you! - Susan</em> Good job! Last week I was told that my job will be end next week.
