For some reason, this song gives me hope on days like today.

This is not for sympathy. But more for me.
One of the things of being unemployed is the roller coaster effect. One day you have a large number of positions to apply to. Then a down when you hear nothing. Then a high when you get an interview or a second interview.
But then you have a big down, much like the first fall on a coaster when you don't get to the finals. You know when they should let you know, hell they have to make travel plans for you. So you have a total letdown. Everything you are thinking. Your plans. Your wishes. Out the window when the window for being a finalist passes.
You life passes before you. Why others and not me. What could I do different. Why does NO ONE want to hire me? I go thru the check boxes. Educated: yes. Experience: yes. Location: Maybe an issue. Age: I sure hope not.
At times it is like a soldier waiting to hear they will be shipping out. Then they don't. Having to stay in a hell hole limbo until someone who doesn't understand the situation of the war zone, decides if they move out or have to try to stay alive for another few months.
And so it goes................

One from Saffire The Uppity Blues Women (two f's in Saffire, not to be confused with Safire13 lol).

Ok - guilty pleasure - I like listening to John Waite. And I love this song. Guess its that 70's/80's guy in me.

Don't think this one has been posted here.
==============================================================
A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the Loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and Needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Mercedes Benz SL 500.

The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, she has the title and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blond for using a $110,000 Benz as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Benz into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire.

What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

The blonde replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my Car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

Finally... a smart blonde joke

I’m never free from my yesterdays. The haunting accusations surrounding mistakes I've made. I wonder when they will return to ambush me. The worst plays out in my head, imaginary scenarios and entire conversations. The accuser know what button to push. How to make me think the scenarios will become reality. Meeting someone that I genuinely like, whose friendship I really enjoy, it is the same as in the past. Never will this happen. Driving me to the edge. Knowing I will never be free or have peace. Even worse, knowing I will never be allowed to have love.
