Ow! Oh, your poor feet! *uses coldest icon* That sounds painful.

But I'm glad the rest of your day was good. Fingers crossed for you!

Yeah, it hurts a lot more than I thought it would :P Even carpet isn't all that comfy.

Thanks! The rest of the day went really well.

Ooh, yay! It sounds so promising now. And all of this from updating your resume online? Or submitting to a new place? Yay again!

But, oww! There's nothing that burns quite like hot pavement. That'll take a few days to fade. :(

It really does sound promising! I'm very excited. I know that some of the recruiters I've talked to are kind of crap, but I also have some really good, connected ones on my case. This last guy's prospect could be really cool.

Yeah, I think it'll take a few days. When I first started walking, I thought, 'wow, this is warmer than I thought it'd be.' Then it became, 'Damn, this is hot!' into, 'Fuck! Get off this shit NOW! Shade is too far. TOO DAMN FAR!!!'

Cripes. Sometimes I need a keeper.

Also, yes, all of this is from merely updating my resume on Monster. Amazing. The changes I made were pretty minor, but apparently it kicks it to the 'New' list or something. Yay!

Ow ow ow! Poor feet.

But yay for interviews going well. :-)

Meh, the feet will recover in a few days. It was totally worth it though! Things are really hopping!

Ouch, your poor feet!

But, yay for optimism. I'm happy to hear things went well.

I'll just be happy if I land a good job through all this. And actually, I think it's pretty likely. The next step would be interviews with client companies.

Yeah, my fit are a bit trashed at the moment, but they'll heal. My heels will heal :)

Optimism will keep you out of the doldrums of depression. Trust me on this. I know these things. :)

Crossing my fingers for you, new job prospects and to healing feet! Owwwooohh Sounds painful!

Remember a few weeks ago I was looking at applying to Walmart? Yeah, things have changed a LOT. I'm also getting a lot of acknowledgment at how hard it's been out there. Apparently 8 mos. isn't a horribly long time to be out of work these days.

I put a thick layer of aloe gel on them and covered them with some cotton socks. I'll survive, I'm sure :)
