Ok, so....

Yep. That interview went incredibly well. As always, it’s the job interviews that I go to that I am totally into that don’t contract. Damn it!

Well, I do have to say walking back to the subway with my computer in my bag; I realized that maybe that it’s a good thing that I don’t work here. I figured this as I passed the third sex worker being picked up and a deal going down. Yeah, great place.

(Sidebar: ironic how I used to hang out around here isn’t it?)

Now that today’s interviews are done I am thinking about tonight’s big adventure. Wow, it sounds oh-so-exciting but in reality I am just so upset over this job hunt thing that I changed my generic cover letter and now it says that I am inquiring in regards to work and submitting my resume if they have anything available. Where is this going to? Hehehe… well I have a list of EVERY AGENCY that contracts in the county I live in and the neighboring county. In other words, it’s going to EVERYONE. A mass mailing to human resources.

I should not panic though. It’s not like the deadline for the job hunt is fast approaching (October 2). Actually, it is but if I have made a “good faith effort” I can have it (the deadline that is) extended for another 120 days. After that, who knows? However, if the extension is to work I would have to apply to every county in this state, including the counties that Bear refuses to step foot in. I m not that interested in going there either but if I have to I will leave and just do it. Although, I would hate to leave Nut. I am also hoping that Little Buddha might find something. In talking with him this past weekend at the farmer’s market, Bear realized why SW is a better place to live the Metro. In SW people actually care for each other. Bear learned more about this stipend from LB then he has all year down here from Hippie. And why? Because there people care about their community and their neighbors. Here? No one gives a shit at all!!!!!

Sigh.

“It’s never clear what would come next, but that’s the risk and that’s the test, and you were the only one so far to follow. And no one talks about how one might stop and need to rest or how long they wait along before you stop looking back; like you’re waiting for gadot and then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and go.”
