I truly appreciate it. It sheds more light on the whole situation. Also, you were not judgmental and you didn't assume facts about my life you could not possibly know. I thank you for that.

Really, I am not an idiot, and I am not a little prima donna who has had it easy all my life. All I am is an unemployed person trying to pay the bills, find work and do my best in a maze of dazing and confusing and constantly changing unemployment rules and regulations and pieces of advice about how to find work. That's all most of us on DU are when we are out of work in this economy. All we want to do is find a way through the maze without inadvertently screwing ourselves one way or the other. A lot of the old rules don't seem to apply in this new situation. Every once in a while one of us has to make a decision and comes here and says "This is what I did." That's all.

If I am a fool, I think there are many fools like me. And they are not all idiots or prima donnas either.
