To work or not to work, that is the question...

Unemployed for almost 7 months now.  Lost my job in February, had a temporary assignment in September that I was hoping would turn into a permanent job but only lasted 3 weeks.  Now wondering if I should even take temp/part-time/unstable job assignments.  These jobs offer no job security, no health insurance and mess with your unemployment.

I totally understand not getting paid for the weeks that you work but then you have to reactivate your unemployment claim when your job ends.  Then there is that unsettling waiting period of wondering if they will continue your unemployment.

Mailed in my claim for an extension yesterday, hoping that my unemployment will continue without any issues.

Work like love has no guarantees and messes with your peace of mind.  Sometimes, it seems almost better to sit out.  With love, I wonder if it is even worth it to get married.  There is so much to deal with in a divorce.  Usually when there is no more love there, 2 people will agree to part and so be it.

With divorce, you are forced to settle your differences, assets and to keep communicating with your ex so you can get/keep some of your stuff, money, etc.

Sometimes, when there's nothing there, it is really painful, uncomfortable and absurd to keep going over the same stuff over and over.  With divorce, one has to work at it.  Work at getting the divorce that is, even after trying to work at the relationship which is so over.

It's like trying to make some kind of meal with stale or spoiled leftovers.  Too good to just throw away (walk away from completely)  but too toxic to eat.
