Here's the deal, you don't have to use all of the unemployment weeks, you can stop pacing yourself and find a job. It's OK to find a work before the bennies expire, trust me, it's OK.
And I told you I don't do the 2 hour commute

I didn't mention anything about a two hour commute in my post. It's silly to slow down the process of applying for work because you're afraid you'll run out job openings. New jobs open all the time, keep applying.

If you are unemployed, this is a silly strategy. Beggars can't be choosers. Back to the the topic please.

I know but I do have a FALL BACK plan which is my secondary list of places I want to work.

I shouldn't have to go to my PUSH COME TO SHOVE LIST which is my third list of companies I would work for

I heard nothing from the first, and so far no increase in spam. We'll see what happens with the second.
So far no response from the 2nd either. I guess it has only been a couple business days though.
