Here And Now
I don't post much. I don't post because I don't want to jinx myself. See, I don't post because nothing good has happened recently, so that must mean I'm due, right?
So many people are out of work, employers can set the bar as high as they want. Jobs I would have been extremely qualified for, say, five years ago are now not even giving me call backs. I interview well, but I'm not even getting those lately. It's one thing to be considered and then passed on, but quite another when you aren't even getting considered, time and again. I don't know, what does it say when someone who graduated from a top 20 law school can't even get considered for a rural District Attorney's office? I must have called 10 times total, and wasn't even worth a quick e-mail to let me know they went with somebody else, or even that they didn't think it was worth their time to talk to me in person.
I'd like to think my experiences with this have been normal, but I doubt it. I think my generation is going to be a very angry one, when we run things.
If we don't all get evicted and starve before then, I mean.
Not sleeping well, lately. I mean, not sleeping well, even by my low standards. It's almost 6, and I'm exhausted, but my mind just won't let me sleep. Not hard to see why, I suppose. Lots to worry about right now.
