Well.  My hospital job was outsourced in August and I also had a PT job to help pay bills too.  Today I found out that I will no longer have that PT job as that I was working PT for has decided to put all MTs in one pool to work at all of their hospitals they own, so the Outsource Co I have worked for four years has lost that contract basically.  Another financial loss.  I was making bringing home about $2300 a month and now I am down to about $900 a month or less.    What a blow.  Jobs are so scarce now and I just cannot go to Walmart to get a job because I had major back surgery years ago and I just cannot stand lor long periods of time.  I do not know if I would even qualify for unemployment benefits which is so little but it would pay credit cards maybe.   I have not heard really of MTs qualifying for unemployment and I am not so sure about this either.  I am going to check into it, but I doubt.    My MT friend where we used to work had to borrow $30 yesterday to buy a couple of groceries.  She bought food to make chilli and Hamburber Helper to last for days.  I hope things turn around, but at this point I am not so sure.  So depressing and I am tired of taking typing tests.  I have been an MT for 29 years and score really high on tests, but then a person never hears back from those companies.  Just how depressing is that and I know that a lot of us have been there, done that.   Have resumes in everywhere I can think.  Lets all hope and pray hard for things to turn around in this next year.
