Quick update
The holidays went pretty well, and I mostly managed to avoid wanting to kill my relatives. That's considered a success with our family. My parents and aunt got me and my cousin Derek American Express giftcards that will be very handy, and I also got some books and trinkets. I also made my grandmother some breakfast rolls using my mom's breadmachine, and those went down very well. My cousin Derek also finally managed to find work after over a year, so he knows exactly what this is like, and the other family members were smart enough not to make any comments about how the job market sucks to me, which some well-intentioned but kind of dumb people have been doing lately and driving me batty. So I'll give them credit where it's due.
Today mom and I went to JC Penny and I got some new clothes, though I brought the wrong giftcard with me and gave mom the difference once we were back home. Oops.
I've also been applying to lots of different jobs, and made an account with the state unemployment office website. I haven't actually filed anything yet, because I'm not actually unemployed yet, but I knew I should at least have it set up in case I need to use it. My pride also took a bit of a hit, but there is actually a lot of stuff that's been coming along that I can do, so I'm trying to think positive. Once I get back to Boston I'm really going to start looking around, and with any luck something will turn up.
