advice.

i was just speaking to my good
albeit unemployed
friend
(here's your long-awaited shout-out)
d.

he told me he's no longer fretting
that he is unemployed,
because
if you are unemployed for 6 months
and you anticipate living to approximately 70 years,
that is 0.007% of your life.

so don't fret friends
who may be job-searching.
it's no a big deal
in the long run.

It's only been two weeks and it's really not as scary as I imagined it would be. Sure, it gets stressful from time to time when your mind starts to wander & worry sets in, but other than that, unemployment - I think - has added a few years to my life (because that job I left surely would have been the end of me...well...my sanity, at least).

Great words of wisdom from your friend, D...puts things into perspective!!
