I Feel Like Such A Loser

[Rich K]

Best of luck to you, Wade. I'd try to help with the sense-knocking you were asking for, but it seems to have already done the trick. Sounds like you've got some great buddies who won't let you fall on your face. You'll come out of this on top.

You will be in my prayers Wade.

That's some funny chit there Duane.

Wade, hang in there bro. It still sucks, but this is a great opportunity to find something better than ever. Great advice from Ted BTW. Great family and friends put situations like this in true perspective.

I know I shouldn't feel bad about it, but it just stings right now. Thursday I cleaned out my office, Friday I worked in that same office barren of all my possessions from the last eight years in that same room, now today is the first day of my adult life that I've been unemployed. I was pretty good this morning, slept in a little, got up did dishes, shoveled the snow off my motorcycle trailer, got three loads of laundry done then got on the computer to file my unemployment and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I've always supported my family the best I could and we do alright, not rich by any means but we're comfortable. Now I sit home while Linda is at work and I just feel pathetic. I know I shouldn't, but the newness of this is gonna take a bit to wear off I'm sure.

Wade mate I don't know ya but don't let this feeling slip by man. For many people who're made to leave their jobs or have been unemployed for a long period of time unemployment becomes a way of life they start to like the fact that they no longer have to stick to a schedule or take shit from some one else. If you feel guilt every time your unemployment cheque comes in I'm happy for you because it shows that you are not willing to spend your productive years mooching off the government. More strength to you brother and if I was an employer I'd love to have a guy with your work ethic on board.

Secondly with the mad carpentry skills you have I'm wondering if you really need to go job hunting. Why not settle in to your garage and make some humidors and cabinets? Sell them online or via this forum? You might think to yourself "you know I wouldn't mind making humidors part time for some extra cash if I have a regular job.." but buddy we all have to start some time I left a job that was paying me $100k plus a month to start my own firm and for the year that I've been running I haven't made the money I would make in a good month but its mine and I'm willing to sacrifice the extra income I would've been rolling in because I know that time invested in my work will reap benefits 5 years from now.

Good luck bro I hope things turn for you soon.
