The scrap of hope that was the subject of my last post has come to nothing. I can’t believe it’s almost effing NOVEMBER and I am still unemployed. Who thought it would be this bad? Honestly, I’m so stressed out I’m not sure what to do. I’m scared out of my mind. What if I can’t even get a job at Starbucks? Yes, it’s come to that. If I find an opening at Starbucks, I’m applying.
About grad school. I’m not sure what I want to do with my future. I’m not ready to take the GRE and honestly I don’t want to. I haven’t found any schools, and I don’t want to look. I don’t even know what I’m looking for. I am so focused on getting a job that I can’t really plan for anything else. But what if I get a job here? I don’t see myself starting a life career here. I’d just be working to pay my rent which is something I never wanted to do. Dark times.

Today I had an interview at the Daily Journal of Commerce. Yay! I thought that the interview went pretty well, and the editor said that I’d most likely be receiving a call back for the next round of interviews. I have no clue how many other applicants there are, but I’m feeling hopeful. It seems like a place I’d really enjoy working. In other job news, I’m pretty sure that I didn’t get the position at the publishing company, and I haven’t heard back from anybody else. I suppose if nothing pans out, I can always work at McDonald’s. Serving up a fresh order of McFuture.
Jobbing aside, I’ve been cooking like crazy. Last night I made delicious black been burritos and guacamole, and right now I’m eating homemade chicken(less) noodle soup. It’s good. And I bought a tiny pie pumpkin at the store yesterday and have since settled on the name Gloria. If I can bear to cut her open, Gloria will become pie. And I got Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales for two dollars at a used book store. I know. Cheap things are awesome. Finally, I miss the trifecta. Always thinking of you.
