Check-In #5

Should be brief, as I'm going to need to make some time for a little meditation and relaxation before hitting the sack. I've got basketball tomorrow morning.

The last few days have seen a dramatic improvement (I think) in the state of my resume; with the help of my career counselor. The last few days have seen little else, unfortunately. Maybe it's just the psychological fragility speaking, but I feel like the world is conspiring against me being able to devote uninterrupted time in this job search process. A succession of events you would not believe - from water heater replacement ones (putting me on daughter duty) to appoinments by Sharon (also putting me on daughter duty) and me that have sent us piling across town, and last-minute duties related to my theatre's play that opens up in two days, have put me, generally, on edge as I feel like I can't get momentum or traction going on anything. For days on end. It doesn't make sense - I'm unemployed and supposed to have gobs of free time.

As...I...type...(9:20 pm) Lucy is screaming from the other room because she's not asleep yet and I'm ignoring her (she's used up her two "turns"). I'm totally fucking strung out.

Crazy.

I really thought people that are unemployed were lazy and shiftless...I'll have to change my entire frame of reference.

Now, settle down. But really, can't you just get hooked up with your local neighborhood "job creator"? At least some in Washington would say that.

Stephen: Funny, on the "Now, settle down."

I need that advice a lot. Kind of like I tell Sharon I need her to (ala white trash) yell "Don't do anything stupid!" every time I head out the door.
