I am sitting here. In front of the damn computer I swore I would stay away from. At least for an hour every- what?- hour? so it's 12 hours a day instead of what? It sucks.

Trouble is, I've met some nice friends online. Met some jerks to be sure. Fallen in L-O-V-E. Yep. Who woulda thunk it? What a glorious thing the internet is!

But oh-oh. Someone called about a job. Said I'd be perfect for it. Who ARE you?? Oh yeah..I posted my resume on the internet a few...days?...weeks?...minutes?...ago. How good is that. I don't even know how hireable I am. I coulda posted that resume 2 years ago, and finally they're calling. Who knows?? At least there's someone at the end of that internet tether...I heard their voice! I know it was a real voice!

I think.

I'm hoping the New Year will take care of your lonliness.

I wish you well with getting that job. Life can be kind of lonely at times - I hope your friends online help out. Take care!

I hope things get better for you. I know what its like to be lonely too.

Hang in there - you are in all of gathers thoughts.
Robin L. Dec 30, 2007, 12:28am EST
Geez, good luck if the job pans out. I've been unemployed for one year and have applied for over 2000 jobs plus have my resume pasted on tons of job boards but the only calls I ever get are from financial companies wanting sales people and I'm no good with money and am not a sales person. Best Wishes, let us know what happens and know that you are not the only one out there lonely, broke, and jobless.

I hope your luck gets better in the new year. Keep up the hope!

Why don't you get off the internet and go meet people. Real people.

Yes, sometimes too much truth, "just call me...", is inappropriate and bad karma. I hope 'rosaleene' gets a good New Year.

'just call me..' will probably get summat; what comes around....

Friends are friends, whether they are on the Internet or down the block. And good luck with the job.
Debby C. Dec 30, 2007, 9:37am EST
Well I hope you and robin find jobs soon. The holidays are hard enough with a job! good luck and God bless!
Michelle K. Dec 30, 2007, 3:42pm EST
