The sun is shining. The temperature is almost perfect. My dog is wagging her tail. I had red velvet cake for dessert after lunch. And I'm still feeling a bit down today.
After about a month and a half off, I began my job search again today. It was a tentative beginning...just checking my options and such...but it seems that for most everything I come across I'm either under qualified or over educated...and sometimes both. It's kind of a stinky place to be...especially in this economy.
Now that I'm back home, I've gotten endless suggestions of what I should do next...or what kind of jobs might be good for me. A lot of the suggestions sound great...if any of them actually had openings. I have full expectations that the whole writer's path will pan out for me some time in the future, but realistically, I've got to pay the bills until then (preferably without my parents' help).
So the deadline is February. That's when the last little drop will be squeezed out of what is left in the Bank of Georgia, and I'll go into real desperate mode. So say a prayer...offer a suggestion...anything would be welcomed at this point.
Fortunately for me, my family doesn't let me have too many downer days. They keep me motivated and encouraged...but every now and then, I dwell on it all a bit too much. Today was one of those days. But tomorrow will be better :).
