My unemployment ran out, but I qualify for the Emergency Extension passed by Congress. I have 9 weeks to find SOMETHING. I have many thoughts on this subject, most of them of guilt, but it's no good dwelling. At this point, I can't be picky, although I really wasn't to start with. I'm afraid to go back to retail or waiting tables though. . .it's been a loooooong time, and I don't know if I can take the abuse from customers anymore. Ditto with call centers. . .it's not that I can't do the work, it's that I can't NOT answer discourtesy. I am BAD AT THAT. In a professional setting if I'm being paid a semblance of a livable wage it's one thing, I can deal with difficult people. But put me behind a counter with an unprofessional boss, pressure to upsell, rude or stupid customers, constant messes to clean up and under ten an hour, and watch the fun.
