Not working = sucky
So I never could have imagined it would be so hard to find a job. I realized I was a bit spoiled, I never had to go through this. I had a position waiting for me when I graduated from college.
My job at NKF wasn't that bad - not that bad compared to this, at least. At times I think I'd give anything to go back to that. Yes, I felt my boss was nuts. No, the job was not the same job I signed up for. Yes, the expectations were unrealistic. But, the money was pretty good, I had my own office, I was left alone for the most part. I know it was good I left, I hated it. But I hate this. And if I'm going to hate something, I'd rather have money in the meantime.
There's just nothing to apply for. I'm under qualified or over qualified and the whole thing is ridiculous. I just want to be in grad school. Catch 22: I don't have the money I need to apply to grad school Six applications x 2 transcripts per school + GRE test + (test scores x 4 extra score reports) = OUCH! Don't even get me started on plane tickets for interviews, or the class I need to pay for in a week, but don't know how I'm going to. It's hard to go to the part-time job I do have, I feel like I should be looking for a full-time job, but it's hard to get motivated for what amounts to a futile effort.
I don't want to nickle and dime parties I'm responsible for planning, but I'm not sure how to get around that. I'm playing russian roulette booking the hotel room and just hoping the rate doesn't go up and the hotel doesn't get booked or something.
On the plus side, I've lost a few pounds because I eat so much Special K now.
tempting. bad idea. know this. won't go there.
