Will Someone Tell Me If This Recession Is Ever Going To End?

Does anyone have a crystal ball? If you do, can you tell me when the recession will end?
I have realized (while on medical leave) that I really, really, really, really, really, don’t want to go back to my old job. I hate change, but I’ve realized it is time to move on. I’ve done a lot of soul searching and I just feel it is the right time.
If I found a new job I would most likely get a paycut. But it would be okay if the economy
eventually improves. That way I will have more doors open for me.
I’m not that picky about where I want to work. I’m thinking retail. However, I need full-time work (32 hours or more, 40 would be awesome) and the promise of health insurance. Also, I don’t want to move heavy **** around. Do I look like I lift weights, for Christ’s sake? Get a man or a bulldyke to do it.
But what if the economy doesn’t improve? Then I’m a total dumb **** for having left my original job with higher pay!
Oh, man…
I can’t help but think of chix0r right now. I thought what she was doing was very risky. But she did find a new job. I’m not sure if she regrets leaving. I would love to hear an update.
I don’t have a college degree. But…
*I’m a high school graduate.
*I can read and write much better than my peers.
*I speak a little Spanish.
*I type 60 words a minute.
*I’m very good at public speaking.
*I was awarded “Best Overall Writer” for my school newspaper senior year. (Should I include that? It was ten years ago. I don’t know…)
*I’m a published poet. (They publish almost everybody, but still…)
*I’ve worked for the same well-respected company for the past eight years.
*I completed 40 hours of credited culinary school.
*I worked for a thrift store for several months.
*I have volunteered at my mother’s preschool. I am very good with kids.
And lastly, I’m not the smartest person in the world, but I’m not a complete ******* retard, and that should count for something.
Thoughts?

  1. breathe…just breathe… these type of times have hit us before (us = those b4 us) and it got better.
    do what you need to do to survive even if it’s lowering your standards of employment.
    things are getting better.
    breathe.

  2. The recession will hopefully end when Obama gets out of office. Hard to say though. When that time comes he may have destroyed this amazing country to nothing but rubble.

  3. It’s already over, but most people don’t know it yet. Look at the stock market; it’s on a bull run. It will take time for people to stop being afraid and start shopping again. When that happens, manufacturers and importers will ramp up inventories and start hiring again. When unemployment goes down, people will feel the recession is really over.
    After reading your resume, I think you should become a chef.
