Well, I know I haven't posted in quite awhile. That would be because I really haven't had much to say (and when I have, I haven't been in a sharing mood.)
I officially despise jobhunting. Mostly because I've interviewed with some of the most high-profile non profit organizations in the country and I've gotten rave reviews, continuous praise and positive feedback. Yet I still don't have a job. It's always "We think you are great and it was a pleasure having you interview with us. We've just filled the position, but I hope you'll consider (insert org name here) for future opportunities!
Every time.
I'm sick of 24 hour marathon trips to DC and back. It is tiring and expensive. I'm sick of being here in NC, which I hate, with no friends and nothing to do but continue to look for jobs. And I despise the fact that it isn't this difficult for others. Sure, there are thousands of people my age, doing the very thing I'm doing and having the same luck. But I'm not stupid; I am well aware that it all comes down to who you know. I only hope that the people I am meeting and the good impressions I am making will come to work in my favor - sooner rather than later.
I'm waiting to hear back about an job I interviewed for on monday. And I have another interview pending, if schedules can ever be coordinated (problem isn't on my end, for sure.) Keep your fingers crossed. They are both good jobs, and both would get me out of here by the end of the month.
Finding a place to live is a whole other can of worms since no matter what job I take, I'll be flat broke after the nearly $10,000 I'll be paying in taxes per year.
If I didn't have it in my head to get out there and 'change the world' I'd totally get a crazy haircut and a bunch of tattoos and be a painter or something, and ignore everything else.
Speaking of paintings, the one I've been working on has become very linear and it is making me nauseous.
As crappy as it is now, I know everything will work out. When it does, it will be better than great.
