those unemployment blues

[redbird]

Some days, just looking at the want ads is depressing.

Depressing as in, I took the wrong job fifteen years ago: everything interesting wants someone with years of acquisitions/development experience, and ideally authors she can bring with her. And the rest wants medical experience.

Depressing as in, do I have the energy to send a resume? (If not--and right now, I don't--bookmark it and send one if the job is still open in a couple of days.)

Depressing as in, if looking at this is tiring, how can I actually expect to have the energy to hold down a full-time job, with commute and all?

(Then I remember that most weeks, I'm not taking cough medicine to deal with the tail end of a cold that seems to have settled into my lungs, and that both the medicine and the disease are draining my energy. But knowing that isn't going to get a resume mailed, or even emailed.)

In the meantime, I've made good progress on the Turbo zine, and gotten an extension for AWA. It'll be all right.

Are you interested in doing the medical stuff? If you are, do you have a local source for getting medical terminology certification/training?
