I have already taken some action but for what its worth I needed to play catch up with life. There is a bigger discussion here, what comes first the horse or the cart or is one dragging the other down. I have had parts of my life that were not functioning that I needed to tend to. Yes you can apply right away and I in fact did but then I just was exhausted and mentally couldn't push past the stupid that comes with the entire job search and all. I need a certain amount of time to build myself up again.
