It’s called Giving up December 29, 2007

The year is coming to an end and I don’t have any profound insights on life or any of that bullshit.   I don’t think I accomplished much this year.  Nothing I set out to do was done. Yes, that’s the truth.

There is something to be said about my ability to lily-waggle shooting the breeze and seeing where things go; I do this very well.  Now if only this could be turned into some kind of paying-activity then it might be profitable.  Actually I just thought of how to turn this ability into a profit-generating biz but I can’t be bothered.

I need a job.  I am searching for a job. And I am not finding any. Well, I do find job openings.  The thing is, till date, I am still yet to have a call back on any of the openings I sent in my resume and cover letter for.  Seriously.  I now it’s all about network,  I  admit to not having much of a network in my intended field, but if getting a job is all about who you know then please do poor suckers like yours truly a big favor and DON’T ADVERTISE THE JOB YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HIRE ANYONE WHO WASN’T RECOMMENDED TO YOU BY YOUR FATHER< MOTHER< FRIEND<WHATEVER PERSON for.

Who the hell invented this job search thing anyway.  There has to be a more humane way of driving people to insanity or suicide than this.   And at this moment, I am kicking myself for not just going straight to grad school.  I am the fool who might very well lose out on a paid graduate education (plus stipend) because “I am burnt out” and “Need to be learning by doing; not struck in some four walled-closed-in-classroom”.

Can you tell that I am fighting depression?  Oh well, who gives a shit.  The year is ending and I am hella pissy.  Shoot me … I don’t give two.
