I posted because it makes me laugh, which keeps me from getting depressed.

Why did you feel the need to whine and complain with the whole world
watching? Are you trying to take everyone down with you?

Hi, I am a little down. I worked in the social service field and spent
three years with a company only to have my one client who I worked
really hard with become institutionalize. He did have a lot of
problems, but I was making progress. Well, I just filed for
unemployment, and money is not the issue here, I am interviewing and
have a second interview today, which is good news. I just hate being
home. I am the type who has endless engergy and its funny, when I was
working , I would say I wish is could do this , or that or spend more
time doing a project and now that I have the time, you wind up doing
NOTHING!!!! Just focusing on getting back to work. Now I know I
will get a job, but I just hate not working. I cant milk the
unemployment for six months, I will go out of my mind. So here the
question, how can I not eat out of bordem, depression or just plain
fustration. I never thought I was an emotional eater, but now that I
am sitting home and self pitying, I just sit and try not to eat. This
sucks!!! Now I am going to get on my treadmill today at 730am, then
chill, then go to second interview, then go lift in afternoon then I
made it thru today, I am not used to this.

The problem with being unemployed is you lose the "daily routine" thing. You
need to create a "routine" that you follow everyday just like when you were
working. Get up at a certain time, workout, clean the house, whatever it
takes to give yourself a sense of purpose. I was out of work for 2 years
and I know how boring things can get.

I've had periods of being out of work too. I don't remember where I
heard this, probably on television (natch) but the best advice I ever
heard was if you don't have a job, then getting a job is your full time
job. Every hour you would usually be at a job, use that time looking
for work.

You know JC at times you say some really smart things, but posts like
these make people not like your creditablity. I really feel sorry for
your spouse.

One more thing, when I was younger , I used to hang around with the
Pagans, they were nicer than you.

JC is KF material. (use it!)

That's the trick I used when out of work!

I would get up at 6, shower, have breakfast & walk down to the coffee shop.
I Checked the paper & other souces for job adds in the Morning & schedule
all interviews in the morning too.

I made sure my afternoons were filled with activities like walking down to
the mall or anything to get me out of the house.

Long walks are great for boosting your well being too!

Best of luck to you!

Too much work, especially when you can buy something as delicious as this:
http://www.soupbase.com/view.asp?cid=21

I dare you to check the sodium content... ;-)

And the price!

I bought 40 lbs of chicken leg quarters for $10. With celery, carrots,
onions and parsley... the total cost goes up to about $13. From that,
I have 18 quarts of *condensed* chicken soup and 3 quarts of chicken in
stock (I ran out of veggies). I also still have about 1/4 of the meat
and a couple gallons more to can today, figure another 10 quarts. So a
total of 22 quarts condensed food, which will be around 44 quarts when
we actually eat it, for $13.

Then look at the ingredients...

Ingredients of stuff at that link: Chicken meat and natural chicken
juices, salt, chicken fat, monosodium glutamate, sugar, dried whey,
hydrolyzed (corn and wheat gluten, soy) protein, natural flavoring,
yeast extract, natural extractives of turmeric and annatto.

Ingredients of my stuff: chicken, celery, onions, carrots, parsley,
garlic.

Sodium doesn't bother me. I just omit the salt in the recipes I use it in.
Stuff needs a bit of salt to taste right anyway. They do have a low sodium
version. To each his own, but it's more work than I want to undertake.

I have to reasons I don't like salt in chicken broth or soup, neither
has to do with sodium content.

First, I most like it with either Parmesan cheese or soy sauce and it
winds up too salty unless it's salt-free before additions.

Second, the most comforting time to have chicken soup is when you're
sick and the salt burns the throat if you've got a sore throat.

Worse than the salt, the stuff you linked to includes *sugar* as an
ingredient. Sugar doesn't belong in chicken stock, that's nuts.

Michelle, that's exactly right. After being hospitalized 3+ months
following a major stroke eight years ago, I refused to accept
disability or social services. Determined to get back to a normal
life, I shuffled into the unemployment office with my 4-point cane and
filed for unemployment instead, stating that I was ready and able to
work. From that moment on I made finding a job my full-time job. I
literally spent 8 hours a day knocking on doors, scouring newspapers,
refining my resume, searching through industry-related websites for
the help wanted ads, etc. (I'm a hotel General Manager). I sent out
dozens of resumes and went to more than 20 job interviews in 90 days
-- and even though it's illegal to discriminate based on disability I
could see the potential employers' eyes glaze over when they saw me
shuffle in with my "granny" cane and one arm drawn up. Eventually
through sheer determination and persistence, I found the right company
that was more concerned with my skills and abilities than my
dis-abilities, and hired me. The rest is history, I've made a
remarkable physical recovery from the stroke because I chose to stay
active and work instead of sitting around collecting a disability
check; I have only minor residual effects from the stroke left today
and am more successful in my career than I ever was before.

I guess the moral of my story is that you can't sit around, feel sorry
for yourself and mope. Every day is a bright new day and has new hope
and promises as well as challenges; it really is up to us what we
choose to make of it. Carpe Diem: 'Sieze the day!' You can make
things happen with a positive mental attitude and persistence.

(Geez, I just re-read this and feel like somebody should be humming
the Battle Hymn of the Republic or something while it's being read ..)

Although -- even Shrek had Fiona ...

The price isn't that much different, a 16 oz jar for $10.87 makes 5 gallons,
or 20 quarts, of broth. I don't have room to store 20 quarts of liquid but
do have room for a jar of concentrate. To say nothing of how my back would
hurt after all the work you describe.

I'm in the same boat, FOB. In fact, I cook just for myself most of the
time these days, and have a very small refrigerator in my tiny kitchen
space. Making large quantities of broth really isn't an attractive
option, although I'll admit it does taste good. I do make sure to save
and use the concentrated chicken broth that results when I cook a big
batch of chicken parts in my slow cooker. Yum!.

I do try to stay away from MSG. Since I don't even use a lot of broth,
just an occasional pot of soup, I just use the stuff that comes in
cartons from Trader Joe's. Organic chicken broth. Or a non-organic
equivalent if that isn't handy. No refrigeration required.

Sometimes you just have to be practical about things.
