Job Hunting

I just applied to 2 more jobs. In the last 3 weeks, I have probably applied to at least a dozen different jobs and even inquired about some volunteer work to get my name out there and foot in the door. So far, no good. It is frustrating and disheartening to thing that I can't seem to catch a break in this one area of my life.

I am sure that I am not the only person who thinks that job hunting sucks. It brings all your insecurities to the surface and makes even the most competent person question their value. It is like being in line for gym class basketball and you just keep hoping to hear your name called. "Pick me, pick me." I would love to work for you. I am never late. I love tedium. I really think your company is special. It is just ridiculous. It is like the job is the hot girl in the bar and we all come with our best pick up lines. She knows they are terrible lines, but you keep trying them until one works and you get hired. "Hey Group Leader Level 4, are your feet tired because you've been running through my mind all day."

It is really hard for me to feel comfortable complaining because my life is pretty great. I have almost everything that I ever thought that I wanted. I am not in my ideal locale, but even that aspect of my life is not too shabby. My current job, on paper at least, would be great also if I no plans to do something else with my life. I have one of those jobs that make you comfortable because so little is asked of you and you wake up one day 25 years later and retire. That is all some people want in life, but as the new guy they just added to staff answers his phone on speaker for the 10th time today, I realize...

One more resume won't hurt.
