off the deep end

i'm taking a little break from my usual daily routine of job searching to update.

i still don't have a job, or any potential ones even lined up. i'm pretty sure that i'll be looking into retail/restaurant jobs soon if i can't get one in marketing or advertising. i'm getting frustrated at not hearing anything back from anyone - if i took the time to apply, shouldn't you at least take the time to tell me if i didn't make it? i'm going to be applying for unemployment soon to tide me over. i've even looked into working at the fbi, which i might be applying for after finishing this update. it's disheartening to think that i'm not good enough for any position that i think is right for me. it's like having a crush on a boy who finds out and laughs in your face. hopefully i can land something soon, and in the meantime i'm just going to keep trying.

christmas was great - i got everything i could have asked for and more. the trip out west to go snowmobiling was also pretty awesome, save for the first day we traveled. i got really sick and thought i was going to throw up on our descent...and on my way to the bathroom in the midst of the WORST turbulence i've ever experienced, i got chewed out OVER THE INTERCOM by the flight attendant. it was so embarassing and added to my frustration about being ill in the first place, i ended up crying in the airport. things got better, though, and the rest of the trip went quite well. i love snowmobiling and i can't wait to go again.

a funny thing happened yesterday while grocery shopping. i was in line waiting to check out, and this old man came up behind me and said, "it's too bad we like to eat, huh? it's my mother's fault, actually. when i was about two days old, i started wailing, and the only thing that could make me quit was to eat! i've never been able to break the habit." it made me laugh :)

now i'm off to work on finding a job...hopefully obama helps turn the economy around soon, because we're all hurting for it.

- so as i finish writing this, i just got a call from a company asking me to come in and interview tomorrow. i'm not sure about this place yet, but i figure it's worth a shot. i'll update on how it goes soon.
