Smacked down hard today.

The one job I had an interview for just accepted somebody else. None of the others I've applied for have even acknowledged that I'm in the running.

In other words, I got nothin'. After three weeks.

Throw on to of that that I ate something bad today and was throwing up for a good chunk of time. I just want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Current Mood: crushed

VISIT!!!!

Yes, but you could visit... and bring the monkeys! We LIKE monkeys! ('Cept when they're flingin' poo, of course...)

;-)

PS: **Hugs** and good job hunting wishes for you...

Re: VISIT!!!!

Visiting means spending money I don't have (I'm about 3 grand in the hole currently), and the monkeys not only fling diarrheic poo, they have syphillis and are insane because of it.

It's almost like I'm a downer.

Three weeks isn't that long on the market to be honest and the market IS bad. Its not a personal reflection of you but of how many candidates are out there and how few jobs.

When I was unemployed for that long ass time I had to make a daily routine for myself. It make me feel better about myself and not get quite as down in the dumps. Hence the working out all the time.

I'm trying to force myself to ride the bike tonight, but the nausea isn't helping.

Agreed. It's a fact that the more you want to be paid, the longer it takes to find a job. I'm surprised that you've had so many job leads in so short a time. Last time that I was unemployed, I found that starting my day with a walk around Lake Nokomis made a huge difference. Good luck and Best Wishes!
