What comes after desperation?

Oct 18, 2010 12:08

So, what's the feeling that is worse than desperation? Because whatever it is, I'm whallowing in it. Still no job. Still no whisper of a job. THe various websites with want-ads I usually check out are slowing down. In an act of desperation I applied to several receptionist/office assistant jobs and a couple temp agencies, just so I can do something. I now know what it's like to have too much free time on my hands, and it sucks. I need money. I need something to do all day. At this point, sorting the mail and answering the phone are better options than sitting around all day.
One of the temp agencies called me back. I'm meeting with them on Wednesday. I've never gone through an agency before, so I have no idea what to expect. One of the jobs they have open sounds like a call center/catalogue ordering thing. I dunno, anything is better than nothing at this point.
But, it getting scary for me. It seems like all the vet jobs I have applied for say that they received more applications than they were expecting. One place said they were expecting maybe 3- 4 applications and they got 12. On place got 40 applications. What the hell is going on?
