Well... I went to my 1 o'clock appointment with the caseworker today. Unfortunately, she told me what I already know: there just aren't any jobs out there. "It's just really really slow. I was hoping things would pick up after the election. I think a lot of people were waiting to see what happened," she said. Considering the election results hadn't been in for more than twelve hours, I don't find it very hard to believe that the office wasn't yet flooded with job opportunities. I was shown a position at the local hospital and given an web address for the soon-to-be casino, followed by an "I wish I had more to help you."
As soon as I returned home, I filled out the application for the hospital position and looked up the web address for the casino. The address offered no direct source of positions or method of application, so I signed up for their newsletter in the hopes that it will announce any job openings that become available.
I am disappointed. However, being realistic, I didn't expect much help. But, I tried. That's all I can continue to do: try, try, try harder, and keep trying. I hate the thought of enduring the holidays and the cold winter weather without a decent paying job. I've just got to believe that something positive is on its way.
