"My recovery is a wobbly thing, but I found a wobbly job."
Love this Larry.My career fell apart at the same time the depression moved in for good and unpacked those bags.
I had a career in market research that I am pretty sure is dead now. While it was fizzling I did so much reaching out it was near humiliation.
Last summer took seasonal work as a tour guide on a double decker bus in nyc. Lucky to make in a week what I used to make in a day.
Now I'm taking a class to teach English as a foreign language.
It will be another very low paying job.
But I can't afford to not work (disability evaluated me as functioning under diminished capacity but employable)but more important I isolate isolate isolate.
Breaking the isolation even in the most superficial way can make a big difference.
