I know I'm crazy: Job hunting at 28w

K. • Fri, Oct 14

I have been out of work since May and it has been driving me crazy. I am healthy, I am having a great pregnancy and the holidays are upon us. My husband has been losing hours at work and times are a bit tough; being employed for a short while would truly help us to make ends meet.

I am due January 7th, making me seven months pregnant today, which is convenient in that I can work a simple seasonal retail job and be done with it before my due date (or convince them to allow me to come back part time some time later). Fortunately, I have the body type that makes pregnancy easy to disguise if needed. I graduated with my degree in July but obviously cannot find work in my field until after the baby is born; I hope to apply to a few rotating positions with the city sometime after baby is born but the seasonal income would help supplement us greatly.

Anyone else as crazy as I am? 😂
