Think I found a job. They're still interviewing, but they'd be nuts not to hire me, and they know it. So if I say yes, and I'm pretty sure I will... It's a part time job helping people put things up on e-bay. You bring in an item and they'll photograph it all nicely and list it for you. It doesn't pay very well, but it would give me something to put in the bank account...adding instead of subtracting. And help with Christmas presents and such. And it would just be good to be working, I think. I feel pretty worthless just sifting through Monster and such all day.

So I can't really figure out why I've been all depressed all week. I guess I was just hoping for more. Something with health insurance.

Friday I drive down to Ohio for a different interview. I don't hold out much hope for it though. I think I give up on these Japanese Admin. Assistant jobs. I just don't have what they're looking for, and I'm tired of the rollercoaster of hoping I do. I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't go back to school. The smartest thing to do would probably take some night classes, maybe get an MBA, or at least some classes in Excel and Powerpoint, Accounting and that sort of thing done. Then, in the words of my college statistics prof. I could "get a good job and make very much money." (Imagine this with a heavy Ukranian accent and it's better) Or riskier would be to break away completely and try for something like Graphic Design, which I think I could be decent at. I have a good eye and fairly good art skills.

Or who knows, a year or so may find me managing my own e-bay store.
I just don't have a clue any more.

Congratulations!

I think a lot of companies are completely missing out on hiring you, because I don't even really know you and I can tell that you're so smart and adaptable and capable and so forth. I'm totally terrified of even trying to meet you and the rest in Boston.

I have a good eye and fairly good art skills.

Understatement of the year.

If you're going down the graphic design route, go for Web Design, since you've already got experience in that. They tend to be tetchy about the experience thing, I've found.

And don't give up. I mean, we've talked about this before, but pretty much everyone we know is having the same problem with jobs. It's not just you, the current economy has us all pretty screwed.

School is always a good option. But don't let the strike-outs get to you. It takes a lot of time to get people to hire anyone. And while one of thoses jobs sounds good right now, hey might still blow! Trust me from personal experience. There is a limited amount of time that one can stand doing a job- neither challenging nor inspiring- simply because it pays decently and has health benefits.

I have launched a luck bomb your way. Hold on, because you might be moving to Ohio!
