Warning (Vent) Spiraling Out of Control!!!!

In summary, Kristin is out of work, has a lot of bills that are past due, and is feeling desperate. She has tried the temp agencies but hasn't had much luck. She is hoping for a new job in 2008 and is reading a book to help her cope with her situation.

I would be lost without you all. That is why I started the post. I knew I would get nothing but support. It still amazes me how many of you I do consider friends even though we never met. There are so many wonderful caring people here. Thanks again and I will keep you updated!
