I've been in the "unemployment line" more times than I like to count. It's hard and really destroys those last threads of confidence you have in yourself. Depression comes pretty easy when your in that situation..I know, I lived it for about 2 years, and it seems she is neck deep in it.

Thankfully, I have fantastic parents who really helped me through it, and friends who know how to "turn that frown upside down". I've been lucky to have been blessed with the recent luck I have had. Great job, great boss, and great workmates who make going to work not a chore but a blessing. It's so good I even give up an hour at the end of my shift to give the other guys a hand getting stock out and marking off incoming merchandise. I'm completely commited and dedicated ( probably a workaholic too wink: ), and I wish more people out there could find that same sort of luck I've had.

Dont take what she said to heart Ed, coming from personal experience (not mine, but people I once considered friends), those kind of people play on you like fucking vultures and use the money they get for alcohol or drugs. Maybe her situation is dire. maybe she is in real trouble, but if you have rules to follow there's nothing more you can do. It's not worth getting turned inside out by it. Leave you're work at work, dont take it home with you.
