Finding places to apply at

[Tink]

I did an online application this morning for a human resources assistant position at a local factory. They're the 3rd largest furniture manufacturer in the country, so it's a major deal in our rural area. The position I applied for is 2nd shift, only 20 hrs a week, but offers medical insurance. I'd LIKE 2nd shift and part time!

I got an application in the mail that I am filling out for a economic intake officer with local social services. It's full time days, with fantastic benefits, and percs. It involves taking applications and doing data entry to submit applications for energy assistance, food stamps, and other forms of public aide.

Both jobs are within 5 minutes of my home. I don't know that either is my "dream job" but I figure they're worth considering if the opportunity is offered.

I feel relieved that I will be done with my current job in 2 weeks, but the idea of not having a job at all brings with it some anxiety. I'm so used to working that while it sounds wonderful not to have to, It's hard for me to accept that it's ok NOT to. Am I completely insane?
