The 10 minutes thing sounds good to me..I know I find a lot more
motivation when I don't have to drive far.
I had given up hope finding work as a chemist.  I looked after I first
moved up here, again in 2002, and in 2005, I spent 4 months hitting the
pavement, sending out resumes, and searching online.  I gave up and
ended up taking a job at the Piggly Wiggly for a paycheck.  Aluminum
extrusion sounds better than the Pig. :)  I only worked there a few
months, and  I haven't worked since.  I haven't been looking for a job,
either.  We just cut way back and have been struggling through the past
year.  So, imagine my surprise when out of the blue two weeks ago, I got
an email from one of the companies where I had applied in 2005.  In
Calhoun, at 17 miles from home(25 minutes), it is the closest place to
the house that I had applied.  We'll see what they end up offering me in
the way of benefits and salary.  I'm just going to take it one day at a
time.  I may work only a few months, or I may work for 20 years..Anyway,
don't give up hope.  Something good can happen when you least expect it.
 That same week, I was feeling really sorry for myself and
down...feeling like I couldn't do anything right...then BAM!, one email
gets me back on track...it can happen..just believe. :)
