The gripes of moving
The most annoying part is the packing. I have started on this, and it's a pain in the butt. Whether I use mental or written lists, it still feels like I don't have everything. It takes so much time, and being tired after work doesn't help. I don't want to do the majority of it on Saturday, either. My parents will kill me in that case, because with the Sunday departure, they want me to have everything ready. All they want to do Sunday is get me out.
I don't take to stress well, and for reasons unknown this process produces incredibly bad reactions within me.
All I can do is pray that the process doesn't drive me batty this time. This will be the 3rd time I've had to do this in a year. One more than the usual college moving scenario.
One thing is certain: I'm going to get that higher degree and try again. If I still can't get hired, then there are some serious problems with how people hire these days. I am beginning to wonder if I've been doing it wrong all along. Merit and experience are one thing. Knowing people is another. I may have been focusing too much on ability and not enough on connections. I often see people less qualified than me succeeding, and it has me too curious in this aspect.
Even so, a Masters will not hurt my chances. But if it doesn't help and I get into debt for nothing, I won't be very happy with this decision. It was hard enough to make as it is.
I am rightly concerned about my chances for finding work in Pittsburgh as well. But I do not want to be jobless for long. And I'll be doing everything in my power, just like I was in DC, to make sure I find something reasonable.
