The Story of My Life


I am currently job hunting. Jobs seem to be the bane of my existence; when I have one, life is horribly difficult and when I don't have one, life is, well, horribly difficult. But, since the grass is always greener on the other side, life is currently horribly difficult. On the jobless side.

I have applied at a bzillion places and have gotten no responses. I'm beginning to think either my send button in my e-mail account stopped working or I misspelled "Education" on my resume. In all seriousness, I'm probably just aiming too high and I need to come down a notch in the places I'm applying. So why don't I just get a temp or temp-to-hire job? It sounds dumb. Yes, I'm vain. But, as my Mom keeps reminding me......beggars can't be choosers. If y'all want, feel free to start placing bets on whether or not I'll be licking envelopes by the end of the summer, or sitting behind a nice computer in my own cubicle overlooking downtown D.C. My money's on the envelopes, but my heart is set on the cubicle.

The bright side is: either way (the envelopes or the cubicle), I will be spending the next little while in a supremely cool place, with more options ahead of me than I know what to do with. And I can just enjoy myself till the cows come home. Which will be quite awhile, seeing as how we have no cows.
