I think I'm going to go to bed early and just give up. It's been overall a shitty day. Tried to fix my printer and I still can't figure out what the problem is. Mr. Mailman is on my shitlist at the moment. I can't download ICQ because some damn McAfee thing is screwing with my computer and thinks the ICQ download is a dangerous virus--and I think McAfee is what's been screwing with pretty much every other program I have, as I temporarily disabled it and everything is strangely running like clockwork now. Except the printer of course. And I didn't get a damn bit of writing done, even though I meant to...I just never had the time. And when I finally went through the supposedly "BIG SUNDAY!" help wanted section for the Chronicle, I found precious little that I was either qualified or even remotely interested in. And my stress factor for not having a job is higher than usual (sorry Emm), because I'm starting to get flashbacks of being broke in Boston and I really would not rather live through that again, thank you very much. And all this negativity isn't helping me say 'hell with it, apply anyway' when I should. Oh, and note to self--put something like a book under the fold-out bookshelves, as the Roomba oddly enough keeps getting stuck underneath them. I came home and found the poor thing beeping like hell in the bedroom while its pop-off cover was wedged under the bookshelf.

Added to the fact that yes, I miss emmalyon terribly. ;)

On a positive note, I have an interview with Adecco tomorrow, so hopefully tomorrow will be that much better...

*sigh* I'm tired and I give up for the day.

Going to get into my jammies now and read about Russian Gulags. Night, all.

Your note about the Roomba made me laugh...but about the finding a job thing. I'm sorry that you're having flashbacks. This is a rough time, but it won't be forever...just remember that.

Just remember that these West Coast towns are VERY popular and EVERYONE goes there to look for a job. Lots of competition. I grew rather despondent when I was comparing MD to LA. In MD, I could get a job like THAT (snaps fingers)...even temp.

But in LA, it was taking me MONTHS! And here, I have to deal with all of the out-of-work actor wanna-bees. Nearly EVERYONE is a temporary worker... Not sure what you're competition is.

So, yes, it will be hard. But remember. You've JUST moved there. You've only been there 1 month. Cut yourself some slack.

You need a little while for the SF universe to register you on their radar...and it will...never fear.
My helpful Aquarian nature wants to suggest things, but I'm sure you've thought of them all. So, chin up...we're all thinking of you and rooting for you!

Thanks! :) Feeling much better today.

I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself... :p That and even though I know Emm is getting sick of hearing it, I'm just worried about money, just like last time...I feel guilty that I'm depending on her for money when I shouldn't.

But yeah, I'm sure I'll find something. I remember that from last time too--just be patient and persistent and something will pop up. :)
