Discuss the Trial

It is somewhat difficult to wake up and have questions about the future that can't be answered.

1. When will the job search end?
2. What am I going to do if this employer I am applying at doesn't hire me?
3. What did I do to deserve this? Or, said another way, what is wrong with me?

I called my friend Todd and talked to him about his life. The company he was working at screwed him over. He has been thrust into a job search.

Having just been through the HELL that is a job search, I really would like to have the ability to hire him. I really would like to have the ability to make the crap he is going through end. It's just not right. I feel like if I can tell Todd some words of encouragement from time to time and help keep up his spirits, the HELL that I went through could have some benefit.

It's not really fair to anyone to go through a job search and to wonder if the stars will align. The first two weeks of my new job have been awesome. I feel like I'm in the right place for the years between now and retirement. That is a good thing for me to feel like I'm home.
