Bad luck buddy.I had a similar experience a few years ago except I kept the dog.
There's plenty more rescue dogs badly need your help and I have now a much better job,a far better house and a wife that is a million times better than the old one.
You will do the same,there will be a day you laugh at this.
Regards

I'm a Technical Writer, 8 years of experience to go along with a Journalism degree. Was a Claim Rep for State Farm for 2 years before that.
Big kicker is no management experience, I did all the work on a big project to change our publishing system (and be able to use it as a basic content management system), but I only "managed" myself.
Thanks man, **** not sure? I was going to try to save up to move next year where there are more opportunities for what I do, basically nothing here for it.
So I'm going to start firing off resumes tomorrow and will basically be open to move about anywhere in the country if need be.
Do we have any Recruiter/HR types on the board? Maybe someone could help get my resume really polished up?

I know a few recruiters here locally. They are mostly industrial based, but they might be able to help.
Sorry to hear about your unfortunate circumstances. Keep your head up, it's got to get better from here.

I wouldn't mind a career change, I'm just unsure of what I could with my relatively narrow skill set that's not also going to end up in a horrific pay cut.
I mean I could probably easily go grab some $35k/yr job, but I haven't made that little since I graduated college 10 years ago. And stupid me got into a lifestyle with the ex that can't really be maintained on my income alone.

Technical writer for the automotive industry?
That's what my dad does, works for Bosch, contract work for Ford at the moment.
Jobs are out there man, we can't find good help around here.
And find another pet, there are hundreds and thousands of them out there at any time in shelters or stores that need good homes.

I'm in Tulsa.

L3: Power distribution systems on Naval ships
TWG: Manuals for crane Rated Capacity indicator systems (and the GUI and related), hoists/winches for the oil industry, know how to comply with the ANSI B30.5 standards etc.

I'll get another Pit eventually, they are great dogs, but I need to get stable again before I can do that.

Truth. Also, the orthopedics companies around here pay big money to just about everyone, and I'm sure there are jobs open for someone with your skill set.
Google Zimmer, DePuy, or Biomet.
We need more car people!

These guys have a big office and factory for some of their product lines in OKC and need help writing everything. Their repair and procedure manuals suck ***.
