I recently found out that I could become homeless next month. I lost my job a few months ago and I've been living off my last paycheck. Unemployment denied my claim and my attempts to get a job have all been fruitless. I'm in a bad way right now financially. I contacted several temp agencies and applied, but only 2 called me back and signed me up. Only one of them offered me the chance at prospective job. Something long term, but I was also told that it's really hard to get this job - very few people ever manage to get this kind of job. I need something NOW. I don't have enough money for next month's food and rent. Some relatives helped me out this month and I was able to make it this month, but next month ... what's going to happen? A ways back, a relative told me that they wouldn't let me be homeless, but recently they said, "Where will you go next month? You need to start thinking about that." I couldn't believe it. I think they said it because they are really disappointed in my job search efforts - I've been so depressed about the whole thing and just not believing in myself and discouraged by the number of graphic design jobs which require software I do not know ... and afraid to get another office job. But I've put myself out there for that. I applied to so many temp companies ... I guess they just must be getting more picky about who they accept these days ...
So, I'm not sure if this roleplay will ever start, as I will probably no longer have access to the internet. Actually, though - you could do it without me, and I hope that you will be able to. I might give my password to a relative and ask them to log in for me and let you know if I'm no longer able to be online anymore 2 weeks from now.

Don't worry, babe, I'll be praying for you. ;D Just remember that God hasn't left you. Also, don't worry about us here, we'll keep the RP going for you. :]

I'm sorry for all this drama. Things are just so crazy right now! sad I hated to have to make it an announcement, but I was sure that it was going to happen. Since that time, a few things have changed, and it looks like I'll be able to stay at least another month at my current residence, which is a great relief! After that, if I haven't found a job yet, I will have to move, but a lot can happen in a month! I now know that I absolutely cannot count on temp agencies right now. In this bad economy, even the temp companies are having very few job openings! 2 and a half years ago when I joined a temp company, I had a job a week (or was it less?) after I joined the temp company. I ended up staying with that company for 2 years and 2 months. So, you never know ... but anyway, I'm focusing less on depending on them, and more on applying like crazy, not to temp agencies (I'm already with a few, and many I applied to never responded) - not to temp agencies, but to jobs I'm seeing listed online.
If I have to move, the areas where there are friends and relatives who said they'd let me stay are kind of ruralish, almost - less jobs, less people, sleepy towns. Not good places to find a job quickly. That is why I am hoping to be able to get a job where I live now. Additionally moving just blows - In the past 2 years, I've had to move 4 times - 4 - I'm not joking. *sighs* Bleh .. lol >.<
