Jobs....

I think you can always file "looking for a job" as low points in your life. It's like as soon as you're single everyone seems to be paired up, and as soon as you're unemployed even the least likely to be working are. You feel left out, useless, unproductive and invisible so of course selling yourself to employers is something you are in tip top shape to do. It seems weird that a complete stranger has the authority to bestow a paycheck upon you when they aren't even evaluating you on the traits that matter. It isn't enough to ask them for a position because you are trapped in a society that runs on money which is, when you get down to it, the only reason you are seeking employment. No, you must sugar coat your enthusiasm for some minimum wage position and convince the interviewer that you're wearing the same rose colored glasses as they are. In short, I guess, I'm just tired of all the niceities about necessities. You need a job and you'll work hard so that you can enjoy the more important things in life. That's all there should be to it.
