Today has been so much better of day than I have in a bit. First, this place. Also, the job that I thought I was out on is back on the table. I will know more on Monday. The Fred Meyer interview has been pushed to next Tuesday but that is okay. I will likely look to take both jobs with one of them being part time. That will get me back on my feet faster and I can get an idea of the environment and decide which is the longer term solution.
I will update this thread as my situation evolves but at least I think I see a light and I don't think it is a train. I am regaining faith that this will work out which is key to making that happen. To quote the old song, sometimes you have to go through hell to get to heaven.

A year and a half ago I got laid off after working for the same company for 17 years. Although I was not in danger of being homeless, I felt very low and my self esteem was bottom of the barrel. Within six weeks I found a full time job with great benefits and a part time job doing what I did at the place where I got laid off. Now although I'm not rich by any means, I have great health insurance, money in savings, money in IRA, and since I turned 65 this summer can retire when I feel like it. So hang in there. Things get better for people who are willing to work. I guarantee.
