It’s great that you can work from home.
I need the job because:
1) I wouldn’t see anyone most of the time - I’m a young widow
2) My daughter is in college
3) Money, sure. I’m my only source of income
I would have to move to get another job—New York, Chicago, Los Angeles/SF...I really don’t want to move.
I really need to be around people. I don’t want to deteriorate—loneliness would get to me quickly. I already feel lonely sitting where I can see people all day. I know it can be worse because in my last job, as they laid people off, I could see only empty desks and I felt so alone.
Are you ok after being laid off? I thought it was a pretty horrible experience. I miss my old coworkers.
