I pound the job hunting pavement for 2.5 months, through multiple counties.
I put in an application from a local newspaper asking for HS grads for commission sales in a small cell phone store. I'm getting that desperate. I get a phone call ONE HOUR from when I dropped off the application. They schedule an interview. 3 minutes into the interview they inform me that they called me in for a call center rep position. 3 people see me. 90% of the time the General Manager talks. It's like he wasn't really interested in anything I had to say. I leave without any promise of nothing. I get a call the next day to take a personality test the following week. We're told we'll have the results in 1-2 weeks. I get a call the NEXT DAY for a 2nd interview. All the bets are off when it comes to job hunting. It isn't a numbers game, it's plain dumb luck, nothing personal.

So... what if you find out that the thing that you have a passion for, the thing that you do best is not marketable?robbidobbs wrote:Following your passion is like being in love. Nobody gets it, you can't explain in, it disrupts your life in weird ways, and there's always an unforeseen cost.
I think I'm fucked.

ripples and currents of quality of life...
flows not of temperature, nor pressures...
arbitrated. from the start
shall it consume you? thrash you 'bout?
what choice?
balls in play deigned fair or foul, not by us mere forms
predated, postmarked, and tried
think indians were sitting around campfires hoping for casinos?
it is what it is, and changes while the same
you're money? your job?
aisle hunting... on barren ground
jester's got a god hat

Go Comanche go. go into the mind of post modern america and tear the scalp offUgly Dougly wrote:
its blind obsession with glitter and gold and dead things
Scream into the empty cavity of american consciousness and
bring the wind into the space bleeding with neglect.
cry no more Comanche. your music is the war cry of awareness
planted seeds of retribution, awareness the death arrow
into the corpse of killing things breathing their last.
