Heavy Sigh

[charliesmum]

Well, it is day two of my unemployment, and I am starting in on the 'feeling very depressed' stage of this particular saga. I spent most of yesterday sending out resumes online, with Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com and, while logically I know that they get hundreds of resumes a day and it will take awhile, I am feeling very discouraged that no one has responded at all. Then I look at the jobs I'm 'qualified for' and I don't want to do them, and the jobs I want to do I'm not qualified for. I'm worried sick about money, and I'm feeling very low.

Thus ends the self-pitying part of this entry.

It snowed a bit yesterday, enough to make everything look pretty and give the world that lovely Dickensian pre-Christmas feeling and to make Charlie happy very happy:



I've created a journal where I am going to put up my mystery story, should anyone want to read it. It is called my_mysterystory (original, no?). I've only got the first two chapters up so far, but I hope to get the rest of it up soon.

I think I may take a break from the computer today and just clean the house and pretend I can afford to be a housewife.

*hugs* I, too, can keep an eye out if you like - writing as in journalism, grant writing, fiction....? I get a couple of publishing mags, and for some reason NJ is apparently a hotbed of certain types of publishing.

Any kind of writing. It's the only thing I'm really good at. (At least I think I am)

I always thought Grant Writing sounded interesting.

You do have a knack for it! I know nothing about grant writing besides the existence of the field, but I can certainly look for the keyword. :)
