Burn out

[buella_pearl]

Hopefully tomorrow I'll hear back that I have a temp job. An income would be a great thing to have, so logically I know that's the news I want to have. Yes! please come have a horrible job answering questions on the phone and processing paperwork. They work to verify dependent eligibility for insurance for different companies. So I can sit

I don't know how helpful I can be, but I guess one thing I'd say is that sometimes jobs you think might be crappy turn out to be nicer than expected-like Ryan really didn't want a job at the photo shop, he wanted more of a "real" photography job, but now that he's working there he told me he really loves it even though he didn't think he would. (And I don't think I've ever heard Ryan say he "loves" a job before!) Although I know it helps that it's at least related to a passion of his, even if it's not an actual doing-art job.

Maybe remember how many class of 2010-ers are in the same boat, and see if you can find support by commiserating with everyone else, if that would help at all? I know Emma is feeling down about not having a job; I bet she'd like to hear from you and you could sort of cheer for each other. And Chris is in the unemployed club too, unless he's gotten a job he hasn't told me about. He's sad about it, but he keeps reminding himself that it's the economy and not his fault. So you remember that too. You are intelligent and wise and talented and have many skills. Things will turn around. You'll find a job that's great for you. And they'll realize they're lucky to have you.

Thanks, I'm not feeling so down about it now. It comes and goes. Didn't get that job, by the way.
