Hmm, never thought of that...
So I'm talking to my friend who got me involved with Alter Ministry at church... We're setting up for Saturday night's service, I mention my job hunt and she says to me, "You're still looking even though you're moving?"
Um, yes?
Right now we are living two lives... one that is staying here in IL and one that is planning a move to NV. I still need a job if the plans to move don't go through. My unemployment will run out soon and unfortunately, we need a second income to survive here. So me running out my unemployment only to stay home with the kids anyway is not in the cards at this time. I will feel awful if I get a great job here only to move in 5 months. I'm trying to stay positive... I need a job and if someone wants to hire me, I will do my very best for however long I work for them. And if I have to leave before a year's time, I will do my best to find a replacement.
People can disagree with me looking for a job but the possibility of us being here for another year is very real. Our house is not on the market yet and we have no job prospects out there. Hard to call up a potential employer and say, "I realize it's only March but I'm hoping to move out there this summer. Nothing is set in stone so how about you giving me a job and if I sell my house, I'll see you in July." Yep, not going to happen like that.
In the meantime, I'm going to continue to look for work so I can help my husband support our family.
