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.

DWTS.......

I jokingly commented on Facebook today that I was gonna be on Dancing With The Stars because Erin Andrews the sports reporter is set to be on the upcoming season and Andrews is my married name.....which was lots of fun when she was going through her scandal. A friend of mine saw my status and believed it to be true, after a few text messages the misunderstanding was cleared up but it made me think. I couldn't be further from being on Dancing With The Stars because first I would have to become famous to be a has-been....and that could take years. I replied to my friend's inquiring text with, "Nothing that eventful would happen in my life." And as soon as I typed it I felt very sad. That's the kind of comment that musters up that feeling in the pit of your stomach. Besides the fact that I hate Dancing With The Stars and the only time I watched it was that summer I had rabbit ears and could only get one channel, if I ever was a has-been I'd probably do it because I like to dance too much......and could probably loose the 30 pounds.
