Propogation of Procrastination and Manifold Monotony

May 20, 2007 02:59

For once, my academic workload is feeling manageable. I've realized that the final version of my project isn't due until August, and that I can spread the labor over more than just a couple of weeks. That's definitely a relief, though I still need to scramble a little bit to make sure the tentative version is ready in five days. It shouldn't be a problem though, especially compared to what I thought I'd be facing.

The bad news is, despite expanding my job search to the rest of New England, I'm still having trouble finding a good career opportunity. This means that I've resorted to re-applying to companies that have already rejected me once and hoping they don't remember my name. I was also thinking of dyeing my hair, wearing makeup that changes my skin tone and adopting a foreign accent to help with that forgetfulness factor.

Bottom line: my professional life is as stagnant as ever, and I'm almost literally sick of it. My mental exasperation is at an all-time high and I feel like soon, it will have nowhere to go except to flow into actual physical illness. Don't be surprised if you see a post in the coming weeks in which I troll for potential kidney donors. Or, if by some stroke of luck I actually manage to find a job, my sigh of relief will probably be loud enough that you'll hear it even if you're living in Michigan (invoking wisedanichi, and Peelizard by extension).
