I'm creating this thread mostly to vent. For anybody to undrstand my situation I will provide the back story.
I got laid off from my 45k a year job woking for the state of AZ on October 1. Our state is on the verge of bankruptcy and could not afford to keep me as an employee any longer. This was ironic as I was working as a budget analyst for the state helping fix the budget problems for the Arizona Army National Guard. So I've been searching for a job ever since. I have applied to 25+ places for ANY job as I need income. I have already spent my 3 month emergency funds.
My daily driver is a Nissan pick up. It was broken into a month ago and the ignition was ****ed up and needs repair. So the Cobra had to play the role of the daily till I got a job and money to fix the Nissan.
I was on my way across town to go to a job interview. While cruising at 2k rpms in 6th gear at 65mph in the Cobra all the sudden my engine starts to rattle, white smoke is pouring from under the hood and then the oil pressure drops to 0 and the engine dies. WTF?! I did not see that coming! I pull over just 3 miles from where I am having my interview so I walk the rest of the way. I get there late and I'm told position has been filled. Damn.
2 weeks later(today) I get my car towed back to my side of town and it turns out that I blew my head gaskets and my car over heated. So now I have 2 broken vehicles, no job, no more funds. FML.
Its incredible how quickly things turned around on me. In just over 2 1/2 months I went from a what seemed stable government job netting 45k a year, 2 working vehicles, a growing savings account and an engagement ring fund for the amazing GF to no job, no mula, no vehicle and the GF's parents now think I'm a loser. FML!
Sorry for the long post but I really just need to vent. My over excessive workouts are not cutting it anymore to relieve stress.
