I got laid off two months ago, and I still see no signs of getting an interview. I feel really stuck, but what's been keeping me going is my mini garden. I bought a seed kit and other gardening tools to start growing my own herbs, and that turned into a whole lot more plants than I first imagined. Watching them grow and being the reason that new life is forming is an oddly satisfying feeling. Just sharing this to help anyone else struggling see that there are ways to decompress and distract :)

That is so nice! I’ve read articles about how gardening can be so good for your mental state. Might need to go pick up a couple of seed packs myself because I could use a little hobby right now.

That's awesome! I've always wanted to do this myself, but I have the exact opposite of a green thumb 😂. My garden is filled with a ton of dead or dying flowers that I really need to just give up on and pull out or replace. Maybe I'll make that my goal for this weekend. Lord knows I could use some time outside away from my stupid laptop.

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to.

The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume
