Thanks. Worse part is due to the end of the enhanced federal unemployment and absolutely no luck finding anything relevant job-wise, I was forced to flee the US to a place where I have a fully-paid house. Nearly 35 years of experience, and the best I could find is a part-time, $50/ hr, 7 hour a week online adjunct university teaching gig. Adjunct: only get paid for the hours you actually teach with no benefits. Only doing it to get the school email address and access to their international job openings - there are some 50 campuses world-wide.
I would have been homeless otherwise, as even Airbnb’s do get expensive, it have been more than what Colorado unemployment I had left (only $227 left in benefits) and definitely more than what jobs are actually available in Denver - The part-time minimum wage jobs I often mention here. Sorry, no where in the US can you live on $232 a week.
We do tend to lose sight of just how tough going it is for people but may we never lose our ability to have empathy for people in rough conditions. I do wish you the best. Everything you related was out of your control when nothing was done or delivered or taken care of on time. I get frustrated with the minor things that take place; people not returning messages etc. I couldn’t handle anything major at my age. I take care of an ailing husband along with keeping a house and decisions to make on my own and believe me, I have lots of pity parties for myself. We have been blessed regardless of problems in our later age. I’ve often wondered WHY these problems didn’t come when we were better able to handle them when we were younger - LOL! It’s like the old joke - who thought getting old would happen so fast?
Wish you the best results wherever you are.
