Chaoswolf: The Gypsy Years [Update, Job-Hunt II]

[chaoswolf]

Just to recap:

• I've been in my apartment (Labeled Vault 69 in honor of Fallout 3) since April 15
• unemployed and burning myself out on jobsearching
• been in relatively close contact with asahoshi et al (including a VW Cruise on Sunday, dinner (tacos made with Penzy's Bold Taco Mix) & Xmen Origins yesterday)
• talked to wolfwings who said that "If you have been spending 40+ hours a week and can count on one hand the number of days you've taken to breathe, it's time to stop looking for a bit" and I agree with him
• Heard from selkit, who seems to have high hopes for something to go through on Friday and also has finished the immigration paperwork he needed to, so with any luck he'll be down here by January next year, though if in time for furcon I can't say.
• using resources today to help room mate L fix his truck, so we have 1 working vehicle. The Saturn I thought I was getting = just about dead
• wanting physical contact with another person. selkit encourages me to cuddle and get hugs often, but there are some aspects of contact that I miss more than that.

I've been dealing with my own stress, trying not to get too discouraged by the job hunt, as it's hitting everyone hard. Woke up at 0431 this morning, couldn't get back to sleep so did some more looking on craigslist for work. Am going to be needing to actually get up and conscious soon so I can help L with the truck...not looking forward to this mainly because it's pricy and I'm starting to feel the impact of not working right now. I want a job so badly...but I haven't gotten anywhere with the hunt. I'm trying to keep positive, but it's hard when all you have to stare at is an empty inbox with no hopeful information day after day. It's almost driving me crackers, and I'm thinking about taking the rest of the day off today --- just to play games on the computer and breathe. I need to not look so far into this overwhelming sense of defeat and start focusing on my need to relax. I may seem hopeless, but I ask a favor: if anyone sees me online and my status says "Wants Contact" or anything similar, please hug/call/arrange time to hang out or something.

I hope B remembers to send the skateboard to me soon. I want lessons before summer.

Hi, Woof! No earth-shaking advice, but you know where to find me if you need a parent to rant at.

Hugs to you and everybody in your vicinity.

You do have my number (I believe) and you can call, or you can horror of horror call and Mike can bring you over for a while on a weekend if you want. It ain't much, but I can at least feed you ;)
