reading the blog, all I can say is "a job is a job" you should've taken that Wendy's when you had the chance, the way the economy is at the moment you should be grateful for what you can get. I say take the job(if you can still get it) and start from their, make sure you have some financial stability, and then look for jobs in your field. Also don't be afraid to look for work out of state, my god father's son who used to live in CT had to move all the way to Washington(the state) and got a job.
I'd also visit community center and Churches, there you can find people to help you in your financial struggles/ and maybe even jobs, I myself started doing small labor services around my community. my mother got laid off once, and during that time she was able to get some sort of adjustable rent/mortgage to help get her payments, so maybe you can go to some sort of Social Services department.
after reading your comments on the other site, then congrats on getting a job, now I would save what you can a rainy day fund, try shopping a lost cost stores such as Walmart/Costco/BJ's/ect. Buy some energy saving appliances,
