frustrated

Have any of you ever just felt stuck?  We really want to get back to Birmingham- Montgomery just hasn't been the place for us.  DH has been on the job hunt but with the economy it is slow.  I really want to go back to school in the fall.  The program I want to attend is only offered at UAB though.  We really want to buy a house but obviously aren't buying one here since we want to move.  It is just so frustrating!!  We are finally in a place where we can do so many things that we want to do and have worked hard for and we are just stuck!  I feel bad even feeling this way because we both have good jobs here and there are so many people being laid off and not able to find a job.  But I guess you can't help how you feel!

Sorry I know this is a depressing post but I had to get it out!!  It has been eating away at me all day!

The job market sucks right now.  One of my coworkers is trying to find a job in Birmingham, but it is near impossible right now.  For now, her husband works in Birmingham, stays with her mom, and drives home to Montgomery on the weekend.

yeah...i have a friend who was recently laid off. everything just sucks right now. i would not make any moves right now but it may help/make you feel better to develop a plan for when things pick back up.

I understand... I've got a bunch of friends looking for jobs here in Bham without luck.  Also remember that it's nearing the end of the year and companies don't want to hire new people right now, which would affect their budget/profits for 2008 if they've had a bad year financially.  I think things will be better at the beginning of the year as far as jobs go.  As hard as it sounds, try to be patient and stick it out.  We really want a new house too, but since the market is sucking for 'sellers' it's not a good time.  It'll all work out, though.  Everything in it's own time, right?  :-)  Hang in there!

Welcome to our world.  I hate my job, we can't  move or look for new jobs til the season/school year is over.  We don't even know really where we want to be (I want to stay here of course) until we see what jobs are available to Brad.

Plus, we are really stuck until that condo sells. 

Can't start TTC til we get rid of a house!!!

I feel your pain honey, really I do.

Thanks girls!!!  It normally doesn't make me such a Debbie Downer but I just can't seem to get it off my mind right now!!!!  Hopefully things will come around soon!
