It’s almost midnight, on a Monday, and I’m into maybe 5th glass of wine while finishing slides and sending emails to partners. How did I end up here?!?!? Who am I? What is this silly industry?!?!?

Could really use some kind words today. We had to say goodbye to our sweet girl on Saturday. She had severe pancreatitis and just couldn't bounce back. She was so sweet and affectionate, never met a person whose lap she didn't want to sit on. Feeling a lot of guilt that we should have tried harder before making the decision to put her to sleep. Maybe she could have bounced back if we had just waited. We miss her terribly. She loved us so much and I'm just really struggling today.

I am looking for a new job but keep striking out. I would consider my resume very good and I work for a big name firm currently, but I don’t have many connections in my area which I have relied on in the past for job opportunities. Is it tacky to message people I don’t know on LinkedIn? It only works occasionally but I am getting frustrated with this process. Advice?
