Stress = new icons, new toys, wierd projects

[nirvyone]

Well, I still don't know what's going on with my prospective new job. The ambiguity is very stressful, particularly as I don't have any savings and can't afford to miss a paycheck. I'm in the process of showing my apartment to people so I can get out of my lease at the end of March, and I've already committed to resigning at my current job around

YAY Veronica Mars!

I need to get some icons of her, my buffy ones are feeling a wee bit dated. it's also been like a year or two since I changed my mood ones and I'm not sure I even remember how.

I'm facing unemployment and homelessness in June if that's any consolation...

Yeah, that's one sucky thing about internship, it's usually a one-year, low-paying job, which means that by the time you've adjusted to your new move and new job, it's almost time to start the job hunt again. Good luck.

Or *shudder* seriously contemplating moving back to the corn for 6 months to finish the #^%&$# dissertation.

Or else risk running away to Ecuador and never graduating. Which would suck majorly.

Stay strong. As much as you may want to run away to Ecuador, you oughtta get that Ph.D.

Funny you should write about bad self-care responses to stress. Tonight I got home from my California interview and ate an entire frozen pizza while I caught up on my TV. And next weekend after my last interview will be yet more junk food and, finally, a viewing of the Prestige on DVD, because nothing is as rewarding as tasty food and tasty Hugh Jackman!

I hope your job stuff gets resolved soon. I've been thinking about you a lot lately and trying to send good thoughts your way. :)

He does fill out a fancy period-piece suit well.
