Job 'hunting' is starting to take a toll on me. It's seriously worse than dating. At least with dating, if things don't go well, you'll see a dozen other girls who you could possibly date. Job hunting, though, you may find one good job worth applying for every few weeks. And the rest of the time you just wonder and hope and pray.
Right now, I'm in a limbo of post-second interview, pre-third interview purgatory. I know they said they wanted me back for a third interview ... but ... the job posting is off their website ... does that mean it's filled, or they're just not taking applications? Why haven't they called? Why didn't they return the voicemail I left yesterday? Why am I such a fucking psycho?
And another job opening I found ... has been up since Thanksgiving. What the Hell does THAT mean? Are these people that picky? That hard to work for? Is the pay / hours / whatever THAT crappy?
When I was girl-hunting, I don't ever remember freaking out this much. But I'm pretty sure that's just because I've repressed those memories and focused only on the good, happy times.

Hire me to be your personal paranoid weirdo. It's what I'm best at.
