Day 18: Discouragement

This is gonna be a quick check-in. I'm bummed.

This is a natural byproduct of a job search. The longer it goes, the more feelings of self-doubt gain a foothold. It's mean.

But I don't have the luxury of staying down too long. But it's weird late on a Sunday night to know that you aren't going to work tomorrow. Or probably this week. Or maybe this month. The process rarely moves that quickly. So now, instead of worrying that you don't have income this week, you begin to think, "Hey... I probably don't have income this MONTH."

Daunting.

Now, I have some things to do tomorrow, and I have a plan to look into a few avenues for leads that I have not delved deeply into. Chances are good that I'll find a few promising prospects. After that, it's put your best foot forward and hope.

But tonight, this kinda sucks.

No update. I'm punting this one away and playing for field position.

Song of the day: "Revolution Blues" by Neil Young. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZdPts3gEjg
