lost nest: home redefined

Approximately 1/3 of people ages 21-29 are either unemployed or severely under employed. As victims of circumstance, we are all making changes to survive. Our priorities are changing along with our lives. This is a blog of how my friends and I are surviving. Many of the comments are meant to reflect the specific moments. They are not meant to reflect an entire generation or to be definitive statements. Please share your stories or thoughts on the comments or submit your own post.

An Unemployed Christmas

It's important to not feel guilty about buying Christmas gifts. Remember--- if you give a gift, you will get a gift.  Hopefully that gift is cash!

The Glimmer of Hope...

Today I got a phone interview. I am so excited. A few years ago I would have thought of this as a negative sign, today I take it as a step in the right direction. I am so excited, nervous, and most of all hopeful. This is only the third interview I have had in about 300 job applications. So statistically that's 1 out of 100 times. That can't be that bad, right?

Fingers crossed. After all it is just an interview at this point. I need to keep pumping out those job applications, and keep packing/sorting/throwing. Yay! (I totally am doing the Mary Tyler Moore hat throw!)
