great insights... folks are generally reluctant to change... crutch mentality?
'face' mentality ... :p
Know a guy who was recently retrenched. He bought a brand new weekend car after holding on for 2 mths. Apparently the wife can't handle it. He needed to keep his sanity and managed to convince her that weekend was more suitable.

It seems that it's always the woman who calls the shots, eh?
The woman is allowed to call the shots so that the man can continue shooting?

If you have "friends" who are laughing at you and saying things behind your back, they are obviously not "friends".

People who like to gossip and mock others, inevitably get gossiped and mocked at themselves.

As long as the job can cover the cost of working and still have something
left to pay the bills, even partially, one should take up the job as a temporary measure.
Having said that, you should still give your best to the job and not treat it lightly just because you are paid less than previous. Its not the current employers fault that you are paid less.

There are others who have fallen from higher grounds, don't be too hard on yourself...
Just like playing some video games, you play the game very well, accumalated a lot of powers, etc. Then suddenly kena kill, come out without all the powers, start all over again...
The point is don't give up, use your experience to recover and regain all the things you used to have, might take some time, but at least you are not sinking deeper and further from your original goal...
Cheers!
What age are you? You sound quite young. Life is full of ups and downs and probably more disappointments than successes.
Like the previous bro said, it's like a role playing game - in fact you could say that life is the ultimate role playing game. You just have to get on with it - focus on survival.
These are difficult times and many talented, worthy people are losing their jobs for no fault of their own. Take what you can get, hunker down and keep pushing forward. Recently I came across this quote from the writer Samuel Beckett that I find very inspirational:
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
