Making the right choice for me, right now!

Yesterday at work, I had a co-worker ask me how my job hunting was coming along! I told her, not too good! I picked up the folder that I had for all my job submissions and showed it to her. I said "I've never have had to submit this many jobs and get not one response! She tilted her head and said, "Well, I think we experience this at least once in ur life.

And I just thought "Wow, I never thought of it like that.". She then said that maybe I should just take a month or two off, kind of re-energize and relax. At first, I gave her a look like ! Relax??? What is that? We chuckled and she left my desk. I sat there deep in thought and mulled over her statement.

You always are able to find a job when you have a job. But, does it really matter right about now?? She mentioned that you have to submit 200-300 times before getting a nibble! I admit, I've been worn very thin with stressing about getting a job and one that will keep me at my pay scale. I may be able to go down a couple thousand, but definitely no lower than that.

But her statement again rolled in my head. Maybe I should take sometime of, re-group and come up with something else. This might be the opportunity for me to signup for my Continuing Education classes in H R! Truly, the thought appeals to me. I just need to weigh out my options right now.
