- I don't know how to respond via e-mail to an anonymous posting, so I am
- responding (briefly) here. If you send me your e-mail address, I'll chat some
- more.
-
- I was feeling VERY much the same way that you are a while back, & (don't laugh)
- I got a dog. I never realized how much that wonderful little being would
- change my life. Besides providing companionship, she also introduced me to a
- whole new group of people I would never have met otherwise (neighbors with
- dogs, folks (& dogs) in her obedience classes, people who own & operate the
- little one-person grooming & pet-supply businesses around town, etc. It got me
- interested in a cause (rescue & placement of abandoned, abused & unwanted dogs)
- & really took me "outside of my own angst".
-
- PS: I'm also looking for another job, but will not leave this one until & unless
- I find something BETTER. It really would be foolish to up&quit without some
- other source of income. But its funny how a job becomes more tolerable when
- the rest of your life doesn't revolve around it...
