Fear and Loathing: Re-entering the workforce


Well folks I am now going through a mixed-episode of depression, anxiety, and fear and loathing. I have been on disability for two years and am looking to find a safe haven to work part-time in and still keep my nut check which I count on to pay my rent, utils, bills, gas, and groceries.

At the advice of a good friend of mine I have registered, refined and shortened my resume to pertinent information only, and uploaded in MS WORD format my resume and created a good general cover letter. I have already applied to two "PC TECH" jobs: one in Front Royal (20 min drive) and same position in Hagerstown, MD (35 min drive). I anxiously await the opportunity to work on computer issues, migrations to MS Windows XP, and Imaging software which I have experience in and carry a Microsoft Certification and an A+ Computer Technician hw/sw Certification.

I have set the date as of Friday, May 11th to apply in person to 4 open part-time positions in Winchester (short commute, easy jobs). I hope the full-time PC Tech positions will allow me to work just part-time (less than 25hrs/week).

I will meditate and pray for something to come my way just by following my instincts and coincidences I am watching for. I need the 10 days to mentally and physically prepare myself through yoga and mountain bike riding the local BMX track in the evenings when its cooler and can ride with a riding buddy of mine... tonight included. Call it my mental health clarity and time to mentally prepare myself for the socialization and fear and anxiety reduction at either the local part-time jobs or offer myself in the interview for PC TECH as part-time only. I will NOT risk losing my nut check to risk it all for a full-time position in that area. I just can't do it. I'm not ready yet.

I hope you readers that have been privied to my blog to offer your prayers and healing vibes.

Peace and Blessings.
