Update #4 Treading water
4 years ago
Well, I wish I could say all is fantastic and I'm driving across the country to a new job but that isn't the case. I wasn't able to secure the job that I was aiming which has been a huge damper over my mood yesterday.
But I'm still here, going over more applications and reading over the resume to see what I could improve. I'm scheduled to go back to work any day now just waiting on my covid tests to come back. Work put me on 2 week leave after showing minor symptoms/possible contact with an infected person. Other than that I haven't noticed anything major so no need to fret about that.
I'm trying to figure out my next steps though. On if I should full dive into this job hunt and move now. Or tough out more weeks with this horrible job until something shows itself. Just thinking of returning to work has got me feeling quite depressed already so I'm trying to plan out how I can move and such like I planned at the end of Sept.
I'm looking currently into debt consolidation and such to see if those are viable options to give me breathing room or if they are even a wise decision. So far I haven't found any success or meaningful benefit from doing such a thing but I'm not an expert at all so I could be missing or overlooking a lot of information on that topic. (update, I found and secured a consolidation loan that is going to pay off my entire line of credit in 3 years from the projected 10 years I was looking at so YAY! Some really positive news with that <3333)
So TLDR, I'm still battling it out and working to find a better place. I can see the pieces I need to grab it's just about getting close enough to do such a thing.
As usual, thanks for the support and I'll keep trying to update when I can! Hopefully the next time it will be with better news!

Job-wise, I would suggest keeping on with the old one. And parallel put energy into the applications.
That was what I did. I had to keep in mind, that I am working for life and not live for work. That will give you time to make the right decisions. What are you looking for?
